I can't imagine a sweeter tale. I loved every word. Thanks, Randi. RPL

Always a treat to find one of your stories and I find myself grinning all the way through the short and sweet ones.

Thanks,

That's not a dig, Randl Just an observation.

Rescuers have to be careful about those they save. Too often bad things happen and someone gets hurt.

I enjoyed this story. I just wish my experiences had been as pleasant.

simple little romance stories,

But I look around me

And I see it isn't so

Some people want to fill the world

With simple love stories

And what's wrong with that?

I'd like to know

Cause here I go again

A really nice romance, and I do like romance! Thanks, Randi!

which is always good on a cold Friday. Well, any day, really.

Very nice fairy tale, brought a smile to my lips.

The world needs more Eric's!

Folks who will simply 'do the right thing' and hardly question doing it!

A great little story - Eric sorta reminds me of the big lunk in "Armadillo" - another guy with a huge heart.

There's a 'but'! -- What about her siblings? She seems to have just about cast them aside - some charity needed there???

to see one of your stories pop up. I especially like the romance ones. What can I say? I like happy endings. like your name choices also, Amber forever!

For writing another touching romance. Can’t believe the negative comment. Wow, what a twisted bunch of BS trying to destroy a great romance. The only problem I have is my eyes get wet when I read a lot of your stuff. That shouldn’t happen to a hardened old man.

Sweet story that was well written. Nice people having good things happen to them. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you.

I love how you flesh out your characters and make them people I feel like I know by the end of the story. It makes the happy ending that much more rewarding. Thank you. :)

Nuf sed.

If this had been published in Loving Wives, how many comments there’d be about never rearing another man’s child, or going after the biological father for 18 years of child support?

A really good quick romance story, the only problem being that it is too short.

A lovely tale - thank-you! I have really enjoyed your stories - this one continues the trend.

Nice one.

Thanks for sharing.

P.S. Him signing that birth certificate would have been a scary moment if this story were in Loving Wives instead of Romance. Like, dude, NOOOOOOO!

I love your story. An anodyne to start the year.

I really enjoy your stories. I agree that you could have spent some time on the sibs. There is a great story line there if it had been include in this story, but who knows. i do like this protagonist. He's a good guy. There are not enough good guys in the stories in LW. Not enough good women either. Of course, LW isn't really for the "good" women, is it? You're one of the best writers on here. Keep up the good work.

Loved it. Thank you.

wow! An amazing story.i loved it and the characters are goodly placed and b e a utiful man.i am a tony stark fan and go on writing stories

A lovely story, I just wish it was longer!

Lol @ the comment below about the story category, that was spot on. If this was in "loving wives" I dread to think what kind of horrific nightmare this could turn into...

Thank god this was in Romance instead!

Has passed her mentors....excellent...5

You are constantly On The Mark. You are able to weave a story that captures your readers and pulls them into the story. Yes, at the conclusion you make us feel good inside. Thank you for sharing.

This story really hit home. Very similar to my own story. I notice that a lot of your stories are about abandoned or abused women. I hope that is not you. A 5* rating.

Randi has become one of my top 5 authors. Interestingly, they all are in different categories of stories. I look every day to see if a new one has been posted. Randi, I hope you have a long and prolific writing & posting desire! Thanks for sharing with us.

Enjoyable journey.

How old was the guy? Had trouble working it out.

But then...I expect nothing else!!!

I love how you write . Thank you for sharing your talent.

Usually I end up rooting for them to discover that they love each other, and it happened again here.

You have such talent. I enjoy your stories. Haven't read a bad one yet. Please add a pt 2 to this to finish the story.

Sentimental yes, but beautifully done.

You never fail to entertain me with your stories.

And very nicely done. Thank you.

I almost didn't read the comments as I was thinking the same things as you wrote and I knew I was going to be royally pissed off at a whole bunch of closed minded asses. But I changed my mind, lo and behold not one did I see, could it be that stupids don't read romance? The love of his life all for the cost of two cheeseburgers, fries, a Coke and one to go... If you ever decide on a Part Two, don't forget she has siblings going in harms way. Signed: BTW

A fast pace tightly written story. Well done

Lovaly short but fulfilling story

Most of your stories are very good or great. This one has a lot of possibilities for sequels. They could end up "adopting" her siblings, she could be pursued by other men (but letting her fall would destroy the whole storyline(s)), they could end up helping others, etc.

I know sequels can be hard to pull off but if any story deserves one it's this one. Great characters. Never though a story was to short till this one. Great job 5*.

good story. You should have a sequel to rescue her siblings though.

Enjoyable read A sequel would be nice

That was a great story! Thank you !

Your a gifted author with nearly as many followers as JPB but far fewer trolls making comments. You capture fans not only because can craft words into stories but because you weave bits of yourself to tie the words together. Thank you Randi for your stories, your a readers dream.

Nice romantic tale. But you left her siblings stuck with that drunken father. They need to be rescued or they would be taken in by CPS. 'Gra' Mary would, probably love them as much as Penn.

I hope this gets a sequel

This was sweet, but it also felt kind of hurried and incomplete. It's as if the author gave up on baking the made-from-scratch three layer cake that this story could have been, and instead just served us the frosting that was meant to go on top of the final product as dessert. There is the makings of a truly great story here, but this, as it is, seems like just an outline of what the final story should/could be.

Another very good story.

I just have a small criticism of a too spoiled reader: the story is too short.

When we read your stories, we always want more.

Thanks for sharing your talent.

Very heartwarming story. I just wish Eric had beat her father senseless and the kids were put in foster care. :-)

Why wait until she's knocked up to propose? Kind of getting the cart before the horse, isn't it?

A typical simple 'Feel Good' story. A quick read with all your regular elements.

This is a sweet story, but it was rushed. I think there could've been more. Also, you stole my heart with the Hellcat. That's a sexy car!

Hi Randi.

What happened to Penn's siblings? That is a loose end to me.

BJ

Nice…!

Love your writing Randi, so many of my favorite stories have your name on them. This is no exception - thank you for all of them and am looking forward to more to come!

somewhere east of Omaha

That was so rushed it didn't give the reader any chance to concentrate on one feeling at a time. It was swooping you back and forth all the time. This was a story with great potential and so sweet but you needed to put a bit more time in building the characters, the situations and experiences, the sexual tension between them. You only gave time to develop the first scene and the last scene. Everything else in between was a sprint and it felt that way. Great story though and very sweet

With all due respect sir, the breadth and depth of your tales are fun and lean without much fluff.

You must have gotten a lot of judgemental criticism on some of your darker material. Because of the defensive forwards of some stories, I am sorry for the stoning you must get for your art. But you are appreciated, lots.

What a beautiful story. Thank you for shedding light on the subject of teen pregnancy and one of the tragic results these young women face of being disowned by their parents, family, friends, church, community etc., and end up living on the streets and doing god awful things to survive. I hope that those who read this story will find it in their hearts to be of any aid they feel comfortable doing if they come across a young woman or young man that is all alone and in distress.

To short..liked it but wanted more of it

This is a very nice, sweet story, I’m just sad it wasn’t a little longer! Thanks for writing it

Hi Randi

Delicious little story of love. Thx

You have done it again! I love your work and this is a delightful mostly gentle love story. I would love to read more about them and their children.

Thank you.

A nice saccharine tale with a great ending.

A very sweet love story! Five stars. Thank you for all your stories and all the work you do to help make Literotica the great site that it is.

Good story, missing one thing:

After they were married, they took her siblings away from their alcoholic father.

ZK

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice!

A few things:

1. When they went shopping, she seems pretty ungrateful, "She seemed to think my toiletries were defective." And "she *needed* stuff like cream rinse, moisturizer, body spray and all kinds of combs and brushes.". It feels out of character with the rest of her to be so demanding when she's so grateful and just happy to have somewhere to stay.

2. It's really never occurred to them in several years to try anything romantic or start dating?

3. It was really cute, though.

Faith, Hope and charity. Which is the greatest among these? Inevitable family love from tender mercies.

Nice to have a blessed mother Mary. (You sure Eric doesn't mean Joseph?)

Faith. Hope. Charity; of these which is the greatest? A parallel path of Joseph, and pregnant Mary...

Happily ever after.
