Great story! Thanks!

He wants to know her because he thinks she's into sex-toys? That's not a really good reason to want to know someone unless ALL you want is adventurous sex... He's kind of disappointing, this Jude. Sad because he's got a cool name.

There is a Twilight fan-fic on and I'm wondering which version came first: this one or that one. There are virtually no changes other than the characters which obviously had to be changed. Are you the original author, did you create both versions?

Nicholas Sparks write truly awful fiction, books that are turned into equally nauseating, cliche films where he copies his own formula. He rewrites the same novel with the same characters and it's hilarious if you know what to look for. There are only two I like: A Walk to Remember and The Notebook. The Lucky One wasn't horrible because of the Supreme Hotness that is Zac Efron and his relationship with the woman's son was sweet and ovary-gasm-inducing.

Ivy/Bella's actions are contradictory in a way that doesn't always seem believable. Like calling her friend childish but giggling girlishly over simply IMAGINING Johnny Depp boning her; being so candid about Phoebe's fiancé but not-so-much her own desires. It's subtle but it's there.

Oh, Ivy, why strut down there if you plan to do nothing once you've arrived? Plus the things she imagines about Sir Bradley are way worse than his compliment! Lol. He's just got gall, gall I like. Love her condo; I want one, too, so I can understand the appeal.

Sweet pad, good sex with someone you can put out once the deed is done, order takeout and watch late night TV in a bed that's too big but belongs solely to you anyway - that's the life! Now, if she would just USE that toy, take the edge off. _

Maybe over the weekend? Fingers crossed.

So far I like this story. I like the MC, her best friend and her neighbor. It also doesn't hurt that it's set in Seattle, the place I hope to one day call home. It's ALL good basically.

Awwwwww. That was a sweet story. I'm not sure how I feel about Allie though. I really hope she got herself together. I enjoyed it 100%.

You must have hacked my music collection as you wrote this. I knew a majority of the songs you wrote about and found them stuck in my head. I loved the story and found it very touching. Thank you for writing it.

wow im half way thru this story. i love it and i never review. Why does it remind me of fifty shades?...keep writing you are good

This story was so amazing, and beautifully written, i have agree with one of your fellow readers about getting it published, definitely [: You had me crying so much through out the story, and barely any stories can do that, but it just shows how much of a amazing writer you are. I hate that the story's over /3 I wanted it to be a long one, but that's okay, i enjoyed it SO much. 3

amazing, just amazing.

Sweet story - nice to see with all the horror involved in armed services, it can have a happy ending :)

Hi,

So I just discovered this story, and was basically so into it that I had to rush through most of the chapters to make sure Jude came out okay and that they ended up happily ever after. Now I can go back and just enjoy what I read, because I really liked the story as a whole. Ivy and Jude are great characters, well-developed, with faults, but likeable. I liked the plot and I thought it moved along at a good pace.

I did notice some grammatical and spelling errors here and there, so if you ever need help editing, let me know.

I am interested in maybe seeing Allie get her own story, it sounds like she has an interesting past.

I just finished reading your story. It is such a wonderful, detailed piece of fiction. I'm usually more into the fantasy type, but this story was amazing. I loved the main characters Ivy and Jude (love that name, ironic you chose the name Jude when he doesn't like the Beatles :)). You made the characters believable, detailed, and their love so tangible. Personally you should see about getting this published, I would buy the book.

Keep up the great writing skills!

I loved this so much, thank you for the gift of your story.

This story was awesome! I would however recommend you going though and adding a big climax... also tie up some of the loose ends like maybe rewrite the ending and have Jude's ptsd really hurt their relationship and she finds out she is pregnant while they are on a break it is a awesome down to earth story please don't take that wrong it was just missing some excitement and loose ends also another loose end was ivy's dad. Thanks so much for sharing!

I kind of like this story. But then I lost interest toward the end.

There is way too much mention of songs and song lyrics. It's pretty distracting, I skipped over all the parts with lyrics. And then there kept being mentioning of artists and I didn't see why they needed to be there, for the plot.

Nice story idea.
