I didn't feel any passion or real emotion from any of the characters, especially Danny. I kept reading only because the author usually comes up with something, but it never happened.
I agree with the Anon. Was enjoying the story but then it jumped several years and seemed to just lose something. There wasn't that excitement at the end when a certain someone showed up. Still enjoyed it but not as much as I was expecting or hoping.
Sad when you cannot do what you used to do so well.
JPB cannot write anymore . The ideas are gone . The plots are derived from old stories or another writers work . For example this reminds me of a story titled "Henry".
Thanks for the previous works JPB, take a vacation . Come back in a year or two .
That will help you refresh and re-charge . It will give the reader a break also , lol.

While I won't say it is one of his best, it is a twist to see Pauline get the guy and keep him in the end.
Usually she's the bad girl.
Sometimes just the girl that he has no spark with or she has none with him.
The evolution of the relationships hold our attention but nothing very exciting seems to happen.
instead of being together out of convenience.
Take what you can while it is available isn't much to look forward to as you grow old sharing the same house.
great to see pauline french finally married and settled down , but ibet she still has some on the side when hubby is not around lol
YOU ARE THE MASTER EROTIC STORIES!!
I read all chapter and voted on each but waited till the end to put my comments out.
This could have been one of my favorites but Danny, although you tried very hard not to, was a cuckold! Pauline (I love Pauline French) is a master deceiver! She let controlled who Danny was with! She never clarified whether or not was lying about Mr Lopez at Maxims. That is another problem , her father scared off Danny but he let his daughter flirt with an older man??? Also we never got clarification why Pauline got pissed off when Danny said he knew she was having sex back at college!
She allowed Danny to have his thing with Claudine but Danny had no idea who or how many guys she was with at college. Have we heard of STD's?
Danny would have been happier if he and Pauline had pledged their exclusive love FO one another but he knew Pauline would not last four years! So he became a cuckold!
I commented on another story that I would like to see you take care of Pauline, and another reader pointed me here, which must be one of your few non-Romance stories I hadn't read yet. Thanks, she deserved a happy ending at least once.
I guess in the fucked up world your characters live this story makes sense.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed reading it, but the truth is I didn't care much for any of them. They are beyound the gray area for my taste, so whatever happened to any of them, I was good. No one to root. Enjoyable read despite all the weird and weider situations you put them through.
One of the better (best?) JPB I've read.
Was thinking he can write other than Loving Wives. (Could have been Romance). Then realized Bob did not get far off. This could be Loving Wives. Pauline's mom cheats. Danny gets cheated on (or offended) several times throughout . He enables Pauline's Mom. Right to the end, Gary and Amanda cheat. To help get it where he's coming from, read Open Letter From Just Plain Bob in Literotica Discussion Board.
The intricacies and crazies here are worthy to be a JPB tale.
Easily, easily 5 stars.

JPB, you so often use Pauline in your stories, but alway as a slut albeit one who is nice, not the stereotypical evil one. I often thought "I wish I knew Bob well enough for an introduction". Great story and I am glad things worked out for both of them.
I like her. Sure wish I’d met her in high school. Mmm-mmm.
4-stars.
It says his parents suddenly divorced. At some point, he would have found out why and then passed it on.
...and it's still a doozie.

..story with a few interesting convolutions in plot design. Almost all the characters are likable if not admirable. I imagine I'll be reading it again at some point. Five stars
Not a bad story,though I would have liked to know what Pauline got up to whilst she was away.
All that writing for that ending. Story wasn’t satisfying and too long to have such a boring ending.
Where was the love, romance or even emotions in this story?
I don't see the marriage to Pauline as surviving. Since she is a "highly sexual" person, as soon as the marriage gets a little routine, wouldn't she be spreading her legs. However, I certainly wish I could have had a fraction of the sexual life of our hero. But I rather suspect that people who would engage in these types of relationships rarely ever live happily ever after.
Sounds like just the sort of nonsense that I got up to when I was late-teens/early 20s. I had nowhere near this kind of success, but took what I could, when I could, without much of an eye toward a long term situation. Could one of those unstable liaisons have somehow become, under the right circumstances, a life partnership? None of them did, but I’ve learned that love arrives in unpredictable ways, so who knows? If you want to call the premises of this story improbable, I won’t disagree. But impossible? Never. 5 stars.
I’m glad Pauline finally got a happily ever after, she deserved it at least once. ( I’m going to assume she was a good and faithful wife this time) KS
The ending was the part that really bothered me. Simply not enough information. So is Pauline now "true"? Also there's a great deal of the story was uncharted territory. I mean the back and forth with girl friends etc., was too much. He is or was at least a slut and so were the other partners.
Nothing is mentioned about his parents after he moved to St Louis,.Did either of them remarry or come to his wedding and what about his sister?.When he left he should have severed all contact with his mother ,as it was her stubbornness over his father's business that caused him to move away.
