This lovely sweet romantic story was over too soon! Thank you evanslily - it was a wonderful read. Absolutely delightful!
I was delighted with the story beginning with Chap One -- but there was an element of mystery that sharpened my interest. Then, at the end, you pulled it all together. I felt good, the mystery was solved and I had had a good read. Thanks.
This is a wonderful story and I'm so sad this is the last chapter. You should have continued a few more chapters and then ending the way it did.
You're not the only romantic out there. It's always a wonderful find to come across authors like you who go beyond the "Wham! Bam! Thank you Ma'am!" stories too many times posted here. You and a handful of other authors make regular visits to Literotica worthwhile. Thank you so much. Lost in Asia
I can't even begin to tell you how much I loved this story. Like everyone else, I was sad to see it end just because I loved it so much and didn't want it to ever end, but the ending was perfect and made me cry. I get emotionally attached to all your characters. Please, I can't wait to read more from you!
Absolutely romantic. Loved all the "Easy. Way too easy" moments.
from a super author. Your characters are always believable; your stories are always interesting.
Really do love it! That was a lovely story! Its nice having something sweet to read!
This read was an excellent one. Happy endings are always a plus; and developing the characters instead of just a stroke story.
Thanks again! :)
This was a lovely story - now I am an hour behind in my work, but it was worth it.
I've just read this story and thoroughly enjoyed it. Just brilliant.
The only problem I had with this story is I wish it were longer! :) Fantastic-all the way to the end!!
Yet again, a great piece of writing, I love your work, can't wait to read whatever you write next.
EG
you are an amazing writer, with such an awesome sense of humor
my roommate kept giving me funny looks because i kept chuckling
While I did enjoy your story very much, I thought you could've added some more details.
The relationships and the characters could've been developed significantly more.
Even with those shortcomings (at least, as I saw them), I still enjoyed this story immensely.
Hence why you get 5 stars and a 100.
:)
I found this tale to be sweet and very well written. I found it impossible to stop reading until I had reached the end. I loved that the way they met was so different from what you'd expect and the ending gave an nice closure to the story as well. I look forward to reading other submissions.
Actually started with your other stories first, but I keep coming back to this one. Dare I hope you're coming up with something new soon now that you've finished back to the farm? I can't wait!!!
it was so beautiful, your writing is exceptionally good, i wish there were sexy men like your characters out and about in real life yayyyy you!
The Solstice chapters are the first of your writing that I've read. I must say the final twist in Chapter 4 was one of the best I've read. Brilliant writing, and a very, very sexy plot. Best of all, it has a beautiful ending. Thank you for posting this series on Literotica. I had to add you to my list of favorite authors.
First of your stories I've read and I can't wait to read them all. As good as any romance story Ive read on this and maybe elsewhere too. Thank you!
You've made this 68 year old man very happy to have read your romantic story. I've been reading too many of the Literotica LW stories and while I like many of them, too many are depressing when considering the amount of revenge and deceit in the stories. I have a habit of copying off stories I think I'll like then going back and editing them before saving the final copy. What a joy to find a well written tale by a literate author. I'm not depressed now. Keep writing.
Your dialogue paints the characters and moves the story forward, showing rather than telling. That's not everyone's cup of tea, but it's definitely mine. Luke is still my favorite, but Adam's right up there.
I love this story...I love all your stories...I've read everyone of them...you are by far one of my favorite writers...you never disappoint
One of the best stories I have read! Beautiful, romantic, sexy, enchanting..more and more...
Well Done!
I am seriously loving your work! This was brillant. Ever think about publishing your short stories?
this is a great story with just enough sex. you should expand these two and write more. i loved it.
I just came across your stories and absolutely adore them. keep writing!!!!
i loved it. the story kept me reading and I hoped for a happy end. it was really, really great!!
I just finished this story and I loved it add me to the hopeless romatic stories that I love love to read this was very very good! I cant wait to read more of your stories
Thank you for sharing your fine writing style. Just finished all four chapters. It flows so well and look forward to reading more of your works!

Love does exist and yes.... anyone can find it. even if it comes by accident. this is the 5th time i have read this story and no disappointments.
stories I've read on Literotica. Well written, some drama, mystery, love, friendship, sex, and a happy ending. What more could a reader ask for?
I first read this story and loved it about a year ago, and it has certainly kept well! Re-reading it tonight has been a pleasure. Thank you!
This is honestly the sweetest most wonderful story I've ever read.
My husbands name is Adam and I had started reading this on chapter 2, My name is Emma, and when I found out her's was too... I was a gushing mess. I love my husband and this story made me remember how much.
Thank you for such a sweet (and well written) love story
Emma
That was such a beautiful ending. I especially like how her hair is the same color as the sunrise. You tied up all the little details (:
I have been reading and re-reading your stories, you are amazing! Every time is as delightful as the first time, never getting enough of your wonderful ideas, language,sense of humor. Please give us something new soon, the waiting is unbearable!!!
Thanks so much for reading you??? Are you kidding? Thanks so much for writing!
Please, don't stop! You're turning me into a hopeless romantic too. Ugh!
Seriously lily you have an amazing talent for writing, possibly one of the best authors I've ever read and trust me I've read a lot.
I have to chuckle at the number of times you put the initials ASG right in front of us. Who's the real minx here? The author, of course.
It's a lovely story, just as much fun at the winter solstice as the summer.
You do a great job of sumptuous descriptions---luxurious hotels, fancy restaurants and gorgeous sunrises alike. Brava!
Just finished the third reading, sigh. You weave a beautiful love story and I'm sure I'll be back for more. Thank you.
I've read all your other stories and I have to say this one is as great as the others. You're an amazing writer. But I love this one especially. Really really great. Thank you so much for sharing them.
Okay, so Melissa and Matt had me completely hooked and then I read this and I love how you write! I am a hopeless romantic and your stories are so beautiful!
This was exactly what I wanted to hear right now. You are an amazing writer and I do hope you'll continue! :-)
This is so wonderfully romantic. Thank you. I'm eager to read your other stories now, and I know I will come back to this one many times.
....To fall in love with this couple and this story. In fact, it's actually my favorite of your stories. The others are nice, but sometimes they feel too filled with drama and I have to admit that your heroines are just a little whiny (even for me, and I can handle imperfect characters). This one, for all that it was the shortest was just beautiful in your descriptions and your characters and their romance. I couldn't stop grinning the whole way through. I wish you had more to read, because I've now inhaled everything you've written and it just wasn't enough. Good luck with any other writing projects you'll have in the future.
Everything is right: convincing characters, engaging story line, just the right blend of humor and romance...and sex. Great work. Keep it up.
When I finish your stories I always have a huge silly grin on my face. Ive read them all so many times. You could do so much better than so many published authors out there, but I appreciate being able to read this more than words can describe. You blow my mind in the romance category and You probably want to be number one but could you settle for a close second? Because your my second fav on this site! (Pandarus blows my mind in the non human category. Maybe because his isnt finished you will become number one though..) I would love to read another??? maybe one youre skeptical about and youre hiding somewhere?? ~(:
I started to think... Griff is such an odd name... then it hit me and I was right! Love the ending! But I'm proudly a sucker for a happy ending. This was a wonderful ending to an amazing story that brought tears to my eyes. It was a beautifully written story and I'm so glad someone recommended it to me. I will be sharing this amazing story with others.
Thank you!
"Solstice" is a diamond!
Thanks. Lovely read!
I must be a hopeless romantic. I have read all of your work on Lit and I have found the stories wonderful. Do write more, you have a talent for writing this genre of tale. Well Done.
I always reread this story on the solstice. Best damn thing on the Internet. You are amazing.
Hopeless romantic here. Read all your stories and fell in love with all of them. Solstice is by far my favorite of the three. Hope you come back and write more!
Very sweet and easy to read. Very nice flow. I agree that there could have been more detail in places, but then I also am sorry to get to the end of a thousand-page book if it's well written.
I liked both the very happy ending (seems like that would have been an easy place for another dozen chapters. :-) ) and the fact that nobody was really bad.
My first stories from this author. Will be checking out others once I submit this review!
What a fun story. Your character were fresh and exciting. Thank you.
What can I add? Every compliment has already been made, I can only reiterate all the previous plaudits. Keep up the good work, too long since your last offering.
I think that I can identify the city you refer to, I agree it is beautiful have spent many a happy hour with my kids paying in the riverside gardens. Bless you.
I LOVE YOUR WRITING.. I'VE READ EVERY STORY YOU'VE DONE AND I'M HOOKED!!!!!!
What a terrific love story...with a happy ending! If I could give you 10 stars, ok here there are********************** maybe 20 ;-)
i think tears of joy and "why can't this happen to me" are leaking from my eyes right now
This is excellent! I love the characters and they are so real! Thank you!
I rated this five stars. I would've liked more description of the characters in their transition from amorous blind dates to lovers to marriage partners. Simply because this story was fantastic and the characters were amazing. Thank you for your effort!
Another great story! Your stories have so much much life to them. Hopeless romantic? Yes, aren't we all :)
I have to say that your stories are some of if not the best of all the stories on literotica. We need more.
I may be late coming to the party, 07 to 15, but I am very happy to find such a delightfully romantic story. no violence, no mayhem, revenge, or retribution. just two people who find each other and fall in love.
well told
thank you
Emma's voice was written with such poise, I was delighted to know her.
laughing, happy breath out.
THANK YOU!
I really needed that.

Thanks for a delightful story. I will be reading your other storys ASAP. 5* Thank you for your time and efforts.
I really like your style of writing.
I enjoyed the "visuals" you created. You did a great job with your character development.
I'm looking forward to reading more of your work!
But you missed possibly the best part.... Emma telling Lisa, especially if Emma let Lisa figure out that it was Adam.
Loved this story,
Brought back some wonderful memories thank you please keep writing.
If you ever begin to write again ? Please stop using the cliffhangers at the end of each chapter... I gave this chapter a 4 ⭐ rating because you wrapped things up without stretching it another 3-4 chapters.
Well written. Anxious, curious, then amazed at the close symbiotic and intimate passionate response.
The awkward parting and self regret. Totally got caught up in the serendipity of your tale and the possibilities of remorse. But the twist was the 'happily ever after' ending. Gratifying, luv...
