I had read this story before. I scaned through looking for a comment but didn't find one. The story was great. Full of drama and misunderstanding. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Thank you for sharing.
I’ve read this story so many times I’ve lost count. The way in which you develop their relationship from their Junior year of college up until the wedding feels so real that, even though it is fiction, it feels like something like it could actually happen.
Would give it 10 stars if I could
So Good!
Another great story, good characters and great story line.
All of your stories are so easy to read with a good feel to them!
You are a pleasure to read!
Please submit more for my and your other fans pleasure!
Thank you
Commonwealth of Massachusetts - not “Great State.”
Very well done. Among the impressive aspects, I love the fact that the parents are brought in as intelligent participants - for instance the scene when Maria snarkily but subtly tells Sienna right at the end of the recipe that she knows why Sienna wants the recipe.
Odd, maybe I missed it, but I don’t think we ever heard where Sasha went to school? She had an apartment in Cambridge so maybe MIT?
The Princess Bride quote at the end was the cherry on top of the wonderful story
I am late to the party, but I wanted to let you know that I cried tears of joy at the end of this story.
like to imagine each took the others name so they stayed logan & james & therefore wolverine...maybe hyphenated? could be a bit much hehe
What can I say? Third, fourth, or maybe tenth time reading this; I don't remember.
But can it get any better than childhood friends spending their entire lives together?
I only wish we'd gotten to spend some of their childhood with them...
Damn, you're good! Why have you stopped writing? Or are your stories now published elsewhere? Pleeeease write more!
reread this for the sixth time theres really not much else that can compare wish i can give 5 stars again :D
You are, quite possibly the best writer on this site. This was the first story of yours I read, and I've read it many times since. 5 stars just doesn't seem like enough, I'm always excited when I see you've written a new story. Although if you wanted to give us an extended edition of this one with fewer time gaps I'd be okay with that too ;)
Do you know what I hate about great stories. That I have to stop reading to wipe away the tears and blow my nose. Love it.
I think we'll have to hunt you down for this one: cunning linguistics.
I don't think I could find enough superlatives to express how wonderful this story is!! Utterly wonderful and fantastic! Thank you again.
Lovely novel ..... Extraordinary ..... Enchanting
It's probably my 5th time reading this.. So good.. Coz i keep comin back to read it again.. And again..
Believable, without too much engineered drama. Read it in one sitting. Thank you!
I read this whole story in one go, and loved every second of it. You are an incredible writer, as is evidenced by every review you get. I actually love your work not for the erotica parts (amazing as they are), but for the nuance with which you approach characters in love stories. I have only read Five Years and Four Days, Summer and Fall, and this story, but in the next week I will probably be going through everything else. Amazing work, and thank you.
You are spoiling me wirth your prose. You keep the story progression at exactly the right speed and intensity, and the sex scenes are classy just by themselves. Thank you for another great read. Connie
Thank you for sharing your talent
Your sunshine is clearly visible in the words you put together for this lovely storie
Wow! thank you for this. ths s sooo beautiful. i love the connections of ur stories. keep writing. we love ur art.
All your stories are purely amazing. You have a true talent. I love the long buildup and character development. The plot is so well thought out as well. I absolutely loved it!
One thing I'm surprised about, is that in the stories on this site the girl characters never seem to name their dildos & strap-ons. They sure do where I come from!
It just seemed this was a great opportunity to name a strap-on Fezzik. I was hoping!
Named dildos I'm aware of:
Fred
Big Jim
Bruce
Thor
Mad Max
Arnold
Charizard
Moon Unit
Khan
Goku
Sailor Moon
Beautiful, as ever, and so glad that it came out where we Romantics wanted.
I read this story not for the erotic parts, but for the realistic and wholesome love story between two women. It was so beautiful.
Just so incredible how your long build up stories keep me thinking about just how awesome your write up is!!!!! Wish I could put it in an emoji
Wow, what a well written and breathtaking story. Even more excited to read the alex/jess saga now!
I had thought that the 'Alex & Jess' saga would take some topping, but so glad you decided to give Sienna a chance. So well worth the effort. I preferred the characters in this and loved the development.
Absolutely great.
Although I have always loved every story you`ve posted, for some reason this one I didn't get around to reading until today.
I can`t even explain why, as stupid as that sounds.
Anyway, I`m really glad I finally read it.
From the little "cameo" where she was unintentionally upset by Alex and Jess and where she appeared to have thrown herself at Alex before she left for London makes a lot more sense after reading the story.
Great work as always :)
This kept me.up the whole night..☺..the story..just that. Thanks careythomas...am going to fish for more of your writings now!
Another one of your stories that has completely blown me away. Wonderful characters, magnificent plot, and abundant emotions. Truly a great story.
I saved this one for last. Thankfully, I had my box of Kleenex next to me because I knew that there would be a Kleenex moment. I loved the vows. The crossword puzzle was genius. You moved from swimming to code writing with such ease. Most stories on this site are just fantasy, but yours make me believe. As a stoned romantic I crave happy endings and you always deliver. Thank you.
Well written banter with the two women...it really felt like they grew up together, and didn't change even after becoming lovers...still have a fun rivalry together.
Fun thing about this story is I wasn't sure at the beginning who the romance was going to be between. It could have been even more fun if you made the breakup of Anastasia take longer (after the Russian bomber was gone, it seemed a foregone conclusion, but still fun).
Just finished reading all your stories on this site, am a little sad there is no more to read, equally engaged to read the next.
I’ve enjoyed everyone but the writing in ‘Could you be mine’ had me laughing out loud, maybe your writing is improving with time.
Although i think everyone can agree with me when i say that Jess is the cutest character ever, i loved this story very very much and maybe even better than Alex/Jess mainline. I read all your stories and please carey write more you are a treasure.
Very romantic. Who has't experienced unrequited love? And very well written. (I often quit stories with grammatical errors or misspellings.)
I loved this story!! Sexy, sensual and romantic. I can’t wait to read the next one. I agree with a comment from your other story. You could get published. I would certainly read all your stuff!!
Thank you for your comments!! To the question on my preface: I've had a few readers write me complaining about some of my characters being butch; I've had more than a few write me thanking me for creating Alex and Sasha.... The preface, therefore, serves as a beacon for those who don't mind/deeply appreciate butches, and as a warning for those who don't like reading about butches.
Again, thank you for all your comments -- they keep me motivated to continue writing!
This is a great story, well written with fully developed characters. I am curious about your preface about a having a butch as a character. It was as if it was a warning of some kind? As a femme who has spent the last 14 years with a very butch partner I think it is wonderful to have stories with a butch character!
I've read all of your stories, multiple times, and I love them all. This one, however, hasn't failed to bring tears to my eyes yet, and I think I've read it three (four?) times now. Thank you so very much for sharing this, and your other, stories with us!
Great job! Who doesn't want to have a happy ever after like this!
This story was so real and beautiful. I just wanted to say that this just left me speechless, this is one of the best stories I have ever read. Well done you are an amazing person please don't ever stop writing! Xxxxx
Sorry, I forgot to quote the line from the song that fits it so:
I will drink the wine while it is warm, and never let you catch me looking at the sun. (But after all the loves of my life, you'll still be the one.)
I'm only on page 5 and had to spill. (Tube this) macarthur's+park+richard+harris+lyrics I kept hearing that song in my head, reading this, it's so appropriate. Now back to enjoying the story. Oh, my beating heart, Carey, you're so real, and so good at this!
Warms my heart just when I needed it.
Good work, keep it up.
This story is just the best.i enjoyed it thoroughly. Thank you.
Clever turn on a character made a delightful story. For me, the story premise was clever and intriguing. The characters and their development was engaging. I enjoyed the journey of the read. Thank you.
Characters about whom we care, who become real enough that we cry and laugh in equal measure.
The amount of effort and character poured into this story is astounding and by far one of my favs. Spot on.
I would just like to say I'm scared all but one of these characters has the same name as one of my lesbian friends so I kept thinking to them and just ah
I'm a 53 year old Straight bloke. Loved the Alex and Jess stories. So well written, so moving, but this!! Wonderful story, wonderful characters, just wonderful. Now to find a tissue (for my eyes PERVS!!).
A beautiful story. You are a very special author on this site. Thank you.
I loved your story about Alex and Jess, and wanted to read this one to see how you would handle Sienna. Let's just say I was not disappointed. You did a fantastic job with this story as well. Please keep writing new stories for us!
This one is the best I have ever read and was so great that I couldn't resist myself by commenting my first comment in this site . Great . I have read this about 10 times .
A splendid piece of literary excellence which had me reaching for my dictionary, just for confirmation purposes, a couple of times. I came across this story earlier today and read it from start to finish in one go and that doesn't happen too often.
In comparison with virtually all the other submissions to Literotica that I have read it was so refreshing to find one in which the amorous activities of the principal protagonists, whilst so well described, did not result in them virtually drowning each other with their orgasms.
Very well done.
Careythomas, thank you entertaining us with your writing. I love all your stories. You write well, you give us hope to aspire to true and patient love. Your stories matter so please keep writing. I was worried when HarmonyHaze stopped submitting stories but I'm happy now, I look forward to new stories from you.
I thought love was all just imaginary but after reading this. I 'm looking at high possibilities of giving it a chance .tumi
I was just curiously looking through this website and usually I read published books but I said to myself why not and read your story and to be honest, one of the best things I've read! Why isn't this published as a book?! Really awesome and capturing happy story!
So well written and filled with love! Wonderfully done! Thank you!
you have outdone yourself again! one of the best stories. so very well written, covering a rollercoaster of emotions. the characters were perfect in every way. so much like life is... a fear of expressing feelings even between two as close as they were all their lives. there was humor, tears, sadness, anger and intense love so wonderfully expressed.
looking forward to your next story. hurry, please!
thank you for sharing your amazing writing...
jan
Once again you made a man / man laugh, cry, angry, and joyful. Love your writing and please continue your storytelling of Alex/Jess or any other spinoff and new work.
Rick
I agree with all the other comments. Great story and written very well. Please keep writing you're becoming one of the best.
This is an amazing story,,,, and certainly made all the more fun because of the Princes Bride references!
It is June first, 2017, a little after three in the afternoon. It was around 9:30 last night when I first encountered this story. The name, "careythomas" took a python's hold on my attention.
I stopped moving, unaware of my surroundings until 4:30 in the AM this morning. I was FORCED by the cruel world to cease living in what is a very good, very interesting place. And then I returned to it about two hours ago. And now, I have to leave it again.
I am very sad.
Don't think I've commented on a story before but I just wanted to say your writing is a tour we force rolleroaster and it has me transfixed from start to finish... more about Sienna and Sasha and ... well just more ... much more from you please! I've got a long way to go with my minimal writing skills!
With love xxx Saiorse72
Congratulations, Carey, you're going from strength to strength. The other comments have more or less said everything necessary so I'll add nothing further except a resounding five stars (deserving of many more).
I was so frustrated with Sasha and Sienna until finally they revealed their feelings for each other. Then they made love and all was good. I was happy for them. Wonderful story. Fantastic writing.
Not only the references to the princess bride, which is like one of my favorites ever, or the other references thrown in for good measure.
It's more for the sake of the well being and pleasure you made me feel throughout this story.
Well written, plot-wise and character-wise.
Thank you!
I have to second Ripley, wasn't sure about a story focusing on Sasha after her portrayal in the Jess/Alex story line, but masterfully done. 5/5 stars
This was a truly delightful read. It's difficult finding a story that keeps me invested in the characters and plot of the story. Kudos to you, CareyThomas! I love that you are able to write from multiple characters' perspectives too and gave each of them a different voice. That's not easy to do but you pulled it off. 5/5 stars from me. <3
Wow. This is a great story. I loved how you took a character from a previous story who had a small role and developed her into a the star of her own story. Keep writing stories for us to enjoy!
Once again, you show us what a good storyteller you are. You take a minor character from a previous story who was, let's be honest, annoying and turn her into a fully developed person that we care about and want to find happiness. It's romantic and sexy, and I thoroughly enjoyed following her and Sasha's story all the way to the end. Well done!
So perfect. If this story doesn't make the top 5 on the site, ... well, it should.
She may have been a plot device in another story, but she became a fantastic character here. The changes, the growth, the emotions, and the passions - fantastic work!
