I Kept My Promise

"At the beginning, mommy, at the beginning," William said.

"Okay. Once upon-a-time God created a beautiful garden. Adam and Eve lived in the garden . . . ."

"Mommy, not that far back." Erica moaned.

"Yeah, get to the important stuff. How did you and daddy meet." Alison wanted to know.

What child is going to even think about or know enough about Adam and Eve to have such an adult conversation and understand in that context about Adam and Eve? Have you been around many kids, particularly 5 year olds?

Fiction, allows literary license

Anon- Timelines get compressed, people are much more, or less perfect. The important thing is the message, this is a little corney, but still a great story. This authors theme is always consistent, I appreciate his efforts.

Small world

A heart warming story for the true romantics among us. A bit off topic: Tower, just off Newberry, actually SW 75th Street? As a Brit Abroad I lived there and hope to return permanently next year. It's always good to read a story where you can relate to the location. Suspend your belief and you could be watching a good movie!

Greeeaaaaat.

Awesome story.

Thanks Gator. LERies

do not understand

first let me start by saying Christmas Cookies is my all time favorite story. and your other stories are great and part one and two made for great reading. what I do not understand is the need for this chapter yes it was good writing and everything but to me it added nothing and answered no unanswered questions from the first two parts. please keep writing for many times I look for you to see if there is something new.

Very nice

This was a very nice way to end their story. Well done.

Really appreciated

Rick, I really appreciate your stories in Romance. Thank you. I hope this one inspires other authors to write stories that fit the category. I am getting really frustrated with some other authors publishing to Romance category, stories with themes, without remorse, of cheating, swinging and worse. Thank you for keeping true to the category.

What a terrific story

Please keep up the great writing.
Looking forward to your next great story!

A 5 year old?

I stopped reading after mommy casually told her children about bad men who broke into a school and shot everyone who resisted. I hope to god you don't have children cause that is not an ok thing to do.

THIS IS TOPSHELF FICTION

WOW! This is a Wonderful story loved the story! The ending was a little bit out there? Though all in all it is better than reading Mills and Boone! HA HA, LOVE YOUR STORIES RICK! Love you all! Bye. Greg. Oh 10 stars = 100 %. Bye.

Repetitive AF

Sure, just copy and paste the whole first page and change all the first person words to "your daddy". The beginning of all the Promise stories are very weak. Also, I agree with the comment about the Emily telling her kids about "Allahu Ackbar" being totally innapropriate for seven year olds. I get it, this is fiction, but that's never going to be believable.
Sorry, but the criticisms just keep rolling in. There was very little suspense in your military action romance story, and what little was present was resolved within a couple paragraphs. You can't just say "he miraculously survived the EMT shock" then jump to "two months later he was at 100%". Such a wasted opportunity. No character development except for a minimmal change in Emily after a lame "I realized I was selfish".
At least one good thing came out of this story: strong syntax.
Only 3* for me.

Really appreciate your story

I only wish you had it numbered pt.1, pt 2, pt 3. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
