Interesting opening, different.
Think you have a period here that shouldn't be, "hours at a time.especially during the winter and holidays." in the 5th paragraph.
Fresh road kill-LOL awesome.
I'm curious if it's common for a man to be so dependent upon stars and tarot cards?
-ha I got it. kind of overly graphic.
"What say we get an early start on next time, right now," I think you're missing a word out of this sentence.
So was the place you described his own house? Was she a waitress that moonlighted as a psychic?

Thanks so much, Charade. Yes, I purposely used that opening line as a "hook" to capture the reader's attention right off the bat. Always a good idea to start a book and or a chapter or short story. (Even a poem) LOL..I appreciate all of your help and the review. Bob

I like the way Arnie and Maureen did to rejuvenate their marriage. Jobs and children are important, but maintaining a good relationship also helps an marriage. Perhaps in the future they should vary their routine.

Hey there Sir Bob
This is an amazing story. I love Arnie and Maureen. I got to the part where they made love, and got a little ticked, until I remembered they were married. Great job my friend

Comment from Patrick G Cox
Hi Bob,
That was a fun read, and I liked the little twist in the end there, where the 'fortune teller'lady is his own wife.
You're right, we must never let the day to day conerns get in the way of time for ourselves and our partners.

Thanks, Patrick. Nothing wrong with a little "role-playing" from time to time in order to spice things up. LOL...Bob
Comment from MidnightWriter4U
Excellent romance tale. The constant movement forward and skilled descriptions of the author hold the reader's attention. The climax (no pun intended) is surprising and emotionally a fast switch which also adds to the success of this work. I would add a comma after "Eric" in this line to avoid confusion "...baseball games with son, Eric(,) and daughter...". The artwork sets the mood of the impending story. A great job all around.

Very clever story, very hot story. This story clearly illustrates what a couple who have been together for a considerable amount of time can do to spice things up between themselves. If they are willing, they can do any number of low cost, but exciting scenarios to make their lovemaking seem new and exciting. Very good story.

Wow, Bob. You are quite versatile. Little different from your book. Got me in the end, I thought he was dreaming. But I like your ending. Pretty steamy ****
