Very emotional and touching story. Great job of juxtaposing eroticism and emotion. More depth and feeling than I was prepared for, and satisfyingly so.
It was great. Touching, emotional, i can say it's the best story ever. It would be great if you would continue it.
Still one of the best on the site. Thank you for writing and sharing.
It would be nice to have more story on the characters IF you chose to.
However I doubt you could improve it by writing more. Sometimes can get less by writing more.
One of the best stories I have read and I read a lot.
Usually I do not like stories .
Yours is perfect . Thank you for taking the time
To write it.
Just read it for the 5th or 6th time and it still brings tears to my eyes as well as excitement! Consider a sequel!
Tone down the sex a bit and you can have a Lifetime movie. Great stuff.
he should have listend to the police in real life he would be dead!! couze of the simple fact that he handled that situation like an dumbass. he should have picked up something attacked straigt away go for the kill with guy number one and knock out the other one and the third would stay hidden in his litle world. and as result he would not have been hurt so its all on himself for acting like a dumbass
Completely satisfying! Bravo! and...thanks for one heckuva great story!
don't know how many times I have read it but it is just a good story. in my favorites. Have you thought about a follow up story Sarah and Jeff it would make a great story.

First of all, this story is a master. As my fellow anonymous commenter said could make for a great movie. Keep on writing. I love the slow buildup. Just my cuppa joe. Thanks for this story and I know you'll go a long way as a writer. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about. You can continue this story maybe? Anyways best of luck. Keep giving us masterpieces....
i just say excellent superrr loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the way you write
he should of take eum by suprise and if he would have been a good fighter he would of never gotten hurt he did it to him self by his stopidity
talk about "stopidity" when you say should of and eum.
talk about irony, more like, or hipocrisy....
on a more positive note, this is one of my favourite stories on Lit.
earned 10 stars out of 5.
Though you could have done with an editor, most of the spelling or grammar issues were minor, only occasionally negatively impacting the flow...
Gave you a five, couldn't ding you a point for those mistakes...
Most impressive, this story really touched on a whole host of emotions. Excellent piece of writing.

One of the best stories I've read on this site. After reading for severalyears this is only the third one I have favorited. Well done.
You have created a masterpiece! I find very few stories that can go straight to my heart, but this is definitely one that has. The raw emotion of the characters as they overcame their pasts was inspired. Thank you!
TWO words ( brilliant, fantastic ) Please may i have some more? Love you all! Bye. Greg.
It brought tears to my eyes, and I'm not an emotional person,I loved it,thank you.

This story keeps drawing me back for another read. Yes, I liked this story if could give it more than a five star rating I would.
great story telling.
shifting back and forth from 1st person to 3rd within paragraphs was a bit awkward at times but the intent and storyline were maintained.
thanks
Such a beautiful and loving story.. In my favorites read many times.

I have read this numerous times and can't stop. One of the best, I keep looking for a damn 20 button because 5 is not enough.
I keep rereading this Story again and again.
Would really appreciate a continuation of this story
I liked your story very much. It touches my heart. Gratefull for your effort.
One of the best stories I've read on here by far. Definitely want a part 2 but if it's going to happen i'm still happy with this one. 5 stars and going in my favorites for sure
This definitely will be read and re read. You have a way with words, please continue to grace us with your written talents
There is real emotional depth to this story which rewards reading and re-reading. The story draws the reader in from the start and makes you really care about the characters. Jeff, the eponymous hero, is filled with self doubt, Sarah is damaged and her family have suffered right along with her yet somehow the story manages to heal these damaged people without ever being cloying or overly sentimental.
Even though she knew, felt it in every bone in her body, he NEVER said I love you. Why? Words even if not necessarily needed are still extremely important. So tell me author why didn't the hero say I love you? THAT has always bothered me ever time I read this beloved story.
Page 5:
Jeff put a finger under her chin and tilted her head up so he could look her in the eyes. "Sarah, I don't just care about you, I love you."
A Tale rich in content, thought and is VERY well written. Your knowledge of the Martial Arts, particularly the philosophy many of us try to live, was impressive as well. This was beyond, SO far beyond a typical read and spank the monkey that it nearly defies description. An ACTUAL, fully developed story (with some very nicely written spice) like you would read in a book or something. I will be reading your other work as well. WELL DONE, Sir!
Really enjoyed this wonderful story!
This is one that everyone can appreciate.
The focus is on the good within people which is a refreshing change from all the cheating and other negative behaviors in so many stories.
A 5+ for this excellent tale!
Yours was the best romance story I have ever read in Literotica. Keep it up and write more.
It's always nice to run across this story once in a while and reread it :) Just awesome! ...I was reading a comment below that was complaining that he never says I love you to her at the end, I hadnt noticed it, but sure enough! She says it to him a few times and he just stays quiet. You know he loves her but now its bugging me, like that bad vibe where one party is in love and the other doesnt want to commit or give false hopes so says nothing, lol.
Anyway, awesome as always, again, thanks for writing it and sharing!!
After reading this story again all I can say is: I love reading this beautiful story. I can't help coming back, he'll now its on a schedule to be read again.
This is a partial lyrics from Sir Elton John song "Your Song":
"How wonderful live is while you`re in the world" (Dedicated to Sarah and Jeff)
I think this is enough!
5* for you!
Please, always keep writing like this, you have touch my heart.
This story was recommended by a friend and I'm so glad he did. You've created a wonderful story with believable, realistic characters. A nice reminder that looks definitely don't equate to being the 'right' one.

I first read this story years ago and enjoyed it. Then today, clicked a link for this story as the title sounded interesting. I didn't remember the story at first, until our hero was in the hospital and couldn't see. Then I slowly remembered as we got to the big reveal.
It's ironic - we call wild animals "savage", yet the adjective better applies to Sarah's rapist. He gave her the scar in a fit of spiteful anger, an emotion unique to humans.
I fully understand Sarah's desire to hide, as we instantly judge people when we meet them, typically concentrating on the physical - ethnicity, appearance, height, weight. And yet, none of us can control our ethnicity, our height, and in the case of Sarah, her scar. But she is right, people will notice it and fixate on it.
I don't remember if I left a comment then, but my feedback would have been the same. I'm glad Sarah found someone who appreciates her for who she is, and not based on her appearance - though I can't help but wonder if the same result would have occurred had Jeff had his sight - I sincerely hope so.

This is an excellent story!!! Not a dull moment, well written and one that when you start reading it that you do not want to stop . Keep up the excellent reading material. Am looking forward to reading more of your stories. If the rating went to 10, I would classify this story at least an 11.
This was an amazing story. This is definitely up there in my list its probably number one to be honest. Just absolutely beautiful. You ya amazing author have the greatest story I have ever read on this website.
Such a lovely story with the perfect ending. It's the kinda story which makes you wanna live it.
Excellent writing and thanks a lot for making my day.
Anytime I feel down I read this story and it gives me a supercharge that life is good and can get better! I love the fact that sex is not primary but helps a healing process! I really think you should consider a sequel....
Wow.
377 comments (haven't seen a negative one yet) and over 1300 favorites, this is an exceptional story, taking the reader well outside the usual boundaries of lust and passion and sex.
A beautiful story about two beautiful people. Five stars. I would give it more if it was possible.
But, take the exact same words of the last comments and pretend I wrote them as well.
Drama building up to love for two beautiful people. One of the best stories and in my favorites. Not the first or last time to read it. A true love story.

What a wonderfully warm and tender story.Made me feel as if I knew the characters personally.Many thanks for your efforts.

The whole story and all the characters were just fantastic , thank you so much for such a heart felt story!
I love it still! Read it a while ago.....really great then and still great now!
I cannot say anything that hasn't been said already. I could not stop reading this story until I finished. It even made me cry a few times. Truly heartfelt.
Story well told with outstanding detail to your characters. It really was enjoyable reading. Thanks for sharing. BK
Great story and well written, one of the better romantic stories I've read on Lit.
... is what I felt like I was doing as I read your story. Beautifully written with well-developed characters who intermingled perfectly. Great story, and I hope to find more like it!
I fell head over heels for this story the very first time I read it. A few years have passed, and once again, I'm remembering why I like this tale so much.

This is a great story, with well developed characters, an excellent story line, and a touching plot. Very well done! Thank you for this submission.
In fact it was one of the most touching love stories I have ever come across. You certainly have some impressive followers. Gerry the Moog Player has always been one of my favorites. I'm definitely adding you to my "favorites".
Five Stars hardly seems enough. Thank you for the story.
