great story can not wait for your next offfering

Nice story

But, there needed to be some transition filler when Tom told her that Stella divorced him. The hurt is implied, but I failed to understand why Tom thought Rebecca would not want him as a love interest over a failed marriage, which from the narrative was not his fault. Why does that make him a poor candidate for romance? Now if he had said that he had been unable to form a meaningful relationship with any woman since Stella dumped on him and he was worried that he would do the same to Rebecca, that would have stirred the plot a bit. It would then have been up to Rebecca to prove to him that he just hadn't met the right woman and move on from there.

No spark

You tell a story, even quite well (though the shifting between first and third person was sloppy), but nothing really happened, no spark between the characters, no tension, It's like brushing your teeth, sorry. I kept waiting for something to happen, but it didn't Next time try to think of a bit more passion and action.

I'm not sure how I feel about this one, but...

I like you. I gave it 5 Stars!

cute

nice tale

2nd time reading

I enjoyed this story and just love the Seger references. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing.

short, and still compete ... somewhat!

Five stars the first time I read it; and it still deserves top honors again. I can imagine the Romance theme doesn't draw as much attention as a Loving Wife story, but I'm proud to say this tale reads with more feeling from the 'winners' pride than the loser's pitfalls. I like the positive twist to sad beginning ... as life should be viewed. There's little value shaming someone who made a mistake along the way.

You proved again, and again, that a warm caring story doesn't have to include spread legs to be admired by readers. "I'll be back!" Again and Again.

Where did the cigar come from?

He was a nonsmoker, so did he carry a cigar around in case he told someone about Stella? Dramatic gestures are nice, but they should be consistent with the story.

Good answer -

Damn good answer -

Stella still had not figured it out - or so it appears - she was lonely, knew him and that he was safe and she could probably get him so she tried. No strings no commitment just a second thought and why not.

He was a good man - she was right originally she should have cared about her marriage it did say volumes and he is better off.

Nicely told - could have been longer and fleshed out but was fine as is.

okay, so why.....?

So his (first) marriage failed.
It happens.........a lot.
So why would he jump from that to the idea of Rebecca not wanting to be with him?
That needed expanded on for it to make sense as a part of the story.
Almost anyone most adults would start a relationship with have people in their past.

again a very good story but to short.
