Comment from jim vecchio
I drank enough in bars over the U.S. to last ten lifetimes. When I met my wife I promised her I'd never come home drunk. And I didn't. So that's my experience in those circles. On one occasion, my wife and daughter and I were on vacation, on a fireworks cruise in Lake George. My wife and daughter went to the rest room. While they were gone, one of the most beautiful girls in the world came over to me with a platter full of drinks. I didn't realize it was Capt. Morgan night. I politely refused before my wife returned.

Thank you so much, Jim, for you generous review and kind words. Yes, we've all done things we wish we hadn't, but if we lucky, they didn't come back to haunt us. Much appreciated!

Keep on writing!
Comment from Jesse James Doty
Wow, Ric, you tell one hell of a story with a punch line that brings the reader back to the beginning where the mistake was made long before. This had me on the edge of my seat with suspense and intrigue to boot. Thanks for teaching us all a lesson on life and regret and how it can turn your head around when you least suspect it.

Thank you so much, Jesse, for your extra special six-star review and kind words. I'm so glad you liked it. Yes, this fellow had a rough stretch, and then he finds out he'd missed out on so much more than he ever could have imagined. Much appreciated!

I haven't read your work in a while but now that I have read this story I can say you are a top-notch writer!

Comment from Debi Pick Marquette
Wowza, you always know how to pack a punch, a Humongous Punch at the end. Those chills that you supposedly had passed onto me immediately. I may be blonde, but I still catch on when something important is happening. That was absolutely amazing, Ric. To find out that not only were you tricked by your old girl friend's daughter, but she was your daughter too. Your stories are as great as I remember any I have ever read. I am not trying to flatter you, but you are my favorite author. I thought that already when I read your story about the guy who was going to kill his wife, but it backfired on him. I knew then I absolutely loved your writing. I truly wish I had a six or a sixteen for this one. Superb, no Brilliant, No Genius!!!
Love, Debi

Thank you so much, Debi, for your generous review and kind words. I'm so glad you like this story. It's kind of outside my comfort zone, so whenever it resonates with my special readers it makes me all the more happy. This one got a little naughty for my taste, but I don't let it go too far. LOL. I appreciate YOU, always!

That little bit of naughty was ok cause it wasn't you. You were the protector. As a rape victim, for me that made you a hero to the women readers.

This is very well written, and I enjoyed very much listening to it. It flows very well and it is red and loud. Your sentence structure your paragraph and your punctuational make for a very good read to listen to. May you have a blessed day and a merry Christmas. Patricia.

Thank you so much, Patricia, for your generous review and kind words. I'm so glad you liked my story and found it entertaining. It's a little cruder than I like to write, and but people keep telling me to get outside my comfort zone. But don't worry, this is about as far as I'll go anytime. Much appreciated!
Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for the New Year!
Comment from royowen
I think you struck on something that most young men would dream about, some would take advantage and somewhat dangle as a result, but I would finish up in clink, never having taken advantage, some might have taken advantage with something called a rape drug, thst was going around some years ago, beautifully written yarn Ric, well done, blessings Roy

Comment from Karen Cherry Threadgill
If you ever tell me I ramble, I will refer you back to this story. The story certainly packed a punch. I do like your character assessments. The contest is over for "Deadly Sins". I won #1 place for "Lust for Life". I hate blind things. Happy Holidays. good writing. Karen

Thank you so much, Karen, for your generous review and kind words. I'm sorry you thought I was rambling on this one, I sure didn't realize it. But we both know I'm prone. Happy Holidays! Ric

I don't mind rambling, I have a tendency I am told to do that myself.I do it on purpose .I want to pull you in slowly, get you comfortable, then I hit you over the head. It's just my way. Love to you and yours. Karen
Comment from barbara.wilkey
Holy Moses, so Ashley is his child. WOW!! Never in a million years thought that one out. Perfect twist. Great story. So glad he didn't act on her suggestions.
I eased over and sat down beside her. (you can omit 'down' it's understood)
"Who are you?" She asked, eyes darting around (she asked,)

Thank you so much, Barbara, for your generous review and kind words. And also for catching my blips. I took down out. But you showed me to add a comma, but there was already a comma? I must be missing something? Oh, well, I appreciate YOU!
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
What a great story, Ric! It all went by too quickly and I was very absorbed in this miscarriage of justice and how things were going to resolve. I must admit I was very worried for Ashley before I learnt she was play-acting, not least because there's been a world-famous case in France about a husband drugging his wife unconscious and then allowing upwards of 50 men to rape her over a 10 year period. Fortunately, your story didn't take that route! Instead, an original and unpredicted one (well, at least until after Ashley's features were being discussed). Your characterisation is first-class and this imaginative and dramatic story a joy to read. Well done! Warm wishes, Debbie

Thank you so much, Debbie, for your generous review and kind words. I replied to your review a few minutes ago, but it's popped back up again. So, if you get both of them, just realize I appreciate you twice as much. There is nothing that makes me happier than for such a talented writer and poet to read and like my foolishness. I can't thank you enough for such a detailed review! Happy Holidays! Ric
