All Comments on 'One More Life To Live'

Your attention to detail is amazing. While I always know where and how your stories will end, I can't express how much I enjoy the trip. I'm all about the happy endings and it's nice to see I'm not alone in that.

I reread several of your stories a few times a year, just as a pick me uo when I feel blue, and this is definitely going into rotation. :)

Absolutely first-class. Well written with a clever, intelligent plot to go with good sex. The characters are real and by the end of the story you know them as people. The police proceedures are flawless. I worked with more than one cop like this. Great job. More!

Good development of plot and just enough details to build a robust picture of a hard-boiled detective. Thanks for the read.

Wow! This is was just good story telling. Thank you.

It's been awhile since I've read a good cop story, and you've written one of the good ones.

Well, it was well worth the wait for them to put the story up. While I've not seen a .25 that would make it that far, I'll let it slide. You are a fine writer and I've enjoyed all of your stories that I have read. This one is no different.

Thanks again.

Thank you, I really enjoyed that.

Ronde,

You still have the touch, man. This was great! As always, its the story and the people that you come to care about.

A job well done.

Ronde, as always you have done an excellent job.

The characters were complete and believable and I got to care about them both.

Very well done.

I have never been disappointed with any of your stories.

I love the way you weave your stories together - so utterly believable and so nice to read a story that contains a bit of sex rather than the usual sex from start to finish with a barely likely story thrown around it - you are one brilliant purveyor of intrigue and interest in your stories from start to finish - well done.

Very interesting plot & outcome - I love seeing justice done particularly when romance is involved. Another well written story. Cheers

but never one more deserved than this. More than a good story, this is more like a masterpiece! Thank you for sharing it.

liked how it moved along at a good pace and no over sentimentality....in the end he did right to save her any more heartache...some real low lifes out there who need putting down....

I've been on this site a long time, more than a decade, and been all through the Romance section, but I've somehow missed this story. It was well worth the wait. Great work from a writer who is long gone now, but who produced some outstanding stories when he was active.

I liked it a lot. It's too bad the detective retired, he might have been good for a few more interesting stories.

An interesting mystery with a growing romance clouding the outcome.

A veteran soon-to-retire Chicago detective catches a case in a seedy part of town that leads to his meeting a middle-aged bartender. He's divorced and lonely,wondering how his retired life will pan out as he develops a growing attraction to the pretty barmaid.

A sleezy man is found shot dead behind the bar and his final case before retiring involves solving the case.

While there may be a couple of technical flaws in the solving of the mystery,the outcome is satisfying.

Well worth the read. ~ 5+

Pretty damned good story. Like someone else said, it’s too bad the detective retired. I think I would have enjoyed reading his exploits on other homicide cases. Oh well. One thought I had, I wonder if the way this story ended might actually happen in real life. Maybe more than people would think. Let’s see, a cop “adjusting” the facts and files in a murder investigation because he “fell in love” (or lust) with a hot woman? Nah, surely not.

An excellent story and very well written. Five stars.

Really enjoyed reading this little story. Looking for more.

Great story even the outcome at the end. Just a pity that Ed is out there somewhere!!

Similar to another story in your stash, but I really liked them both. 5* for people getting a second chance without hurting others.

Great

I have never been disappointed with any of your stories.

You are a real wordsmith!! I like your dystopian view of the world spun with a bit of humanity. I enjoyed the read.

Next time take care of "Ed"

"All I needed was a name to go with the body."

Pretty easy to see where this is going.
