Fast and Furious!

Interesting turn of events!

Rather abrupt ending, hope there's more.

Well let's see, Will is soon to be divorced and he has a knockout next door neighbor...yeah, there's more to this story :)

Sorry but I don't rate this as a romance

On it's own, no, certainly not a successful romance. Part one was a romantic tragedy, a la 'Love Story'; part two was a different sort of tragedy. Of course, these set the stage for the rest of the story. I considered releasing it as a single entry under Romance or Novella but settled on a multi-part Romance.

Interesting set! First part, I should have liked for most part but two big points made me far less happy with it than it deserved.

The second part (this one) was the opposite - I usually dislike LW stories (which this was, let's be honest) with zero revenge, but this one was set up so well in terms of both lessened impact on the husband AND his "best revenge is living well" in third part, my dislike was much lower than expected.

And the third part was just magical, good romance AND parental relationship, with basically nothing to dislike about it. Can't wait to see how #4 goes.

Thanks, glad you ultimately enjoyed the story. I agree #2 belongs in Loving Wives but my one experience with the Burn The Bitch posse there did not incline me to test those waters again, especially when Will let go of his desire for revenge.

You do realize that most BTB "posse" don't care about Will (cheating victim) desiring revenge per se, and more to do with Karma. The guilty should be punished. You as an author can easily set it up so the cheater gets punished OUTSIDE of victim's control; even if you somehow feel that the victim shouldn't do anything active in revenge. The reason the "posse" is displeased is because you let the criminal get away with the crime. The best BTB stories, the burning is far more karmic, and self-inflicted.

Thanks for the insights.
