But of course, I loved it too. I would assume this is the last chapter in the series, and if so... what a wonderful way to complete it. :)
Well done, Madame Author. Loved the whole story, and HEA endings are the ones I like best.
Hi, Jez,
I was concerned about Garry and whether he would be good for Libby in earlier chapters but you did a nice job of salvaging him here and making the reader hope that the two of them would have their HEA. It was good to see how you put this all together and how you got the reader to care for the characters, with Libby in particular as she basically grew up, learned what she wanted to be and what she wanted to do with her life, and how she might deal with her past. Great job. SC
Lovely story.
Like Southern Crossfire I had not wanted Libby/Vanessa to end up with Gary as it seemed to me that it would be a very unequal relationship. However not only does Libby/Vanessa change and realise who she is and what she wants but Gary changes too, and realises he wants a companion who will be herself and jointly enjoy travel etc, rather than have a wife who is simply a sexy woman and the mother of his children. I like how Libby reconciles the Vanessa in her and is not afraid to express that side of her, in the appropriate circumstances that is, (e.g. Gary’s bedroom).
One of Jezabel’s many strengths is that her character’s are real and have flaws, just as we all do. I find it easier to empathise with flawed people than with perfect stereotyped heroes.
Loved the story…. But those baby names sound like a little old gray haired couple on a farm😂Rupert I just can’t😂😂and Eleanor; both are hard Hell No’s😩😩😂Otherwise fantastic story; from beginning to almost end. Minus old ass names for babies ❤️😂
SJ, I honor your efforts to deal with a multi part story.
You have written numerous 20k word stories in one sitting yet breaking this one up into five chapters definitely added something to the suspense…especially the break when Cindy learned of her mother’s death.
Will there be more multi part stories in your future offerings?

Kismet. That inevitable attraction was just too strong to disregard. More experienced awareness balanced the relationship and behavior...
