Holy high angst, Batman! Well done - not over the top, and very believable. Well, maybe except for Ranger caving to the "get married" disease with someone else. But that fact is what propels the story, so I can suspend my disbelief and see what comes next. Thanks for sharing.

Oh no! I know you said it was angsty but sheesh! Why didn't she tell him!

Aww, so angsty! Sad

So sad and tragic. Ranger never wanted to put anyone he cared about in danger so he didn't do relationships. What changed. Going to read the sequel.

Great work.

You should keep writing! this is good :)

This is very good! Thank You! Jennifer

As you can tell... I've been off-line for a bit, so I can finally get caught up on your stories and I'm starting with this great angst 3 part story.

I'm off to read part 2

There should be a warning saying that if you are 100% babe, this story should not be read if you have had a bad or emotional day.

I had tears, I'm not a cryer!

Can't wait to read the rest, perhaps on a better day :)

you really should consider adding a couple more chapters not 20 or 30 but 1 or 2 more of course i like hea

Well done!

Great story, great angst, although I must admit when I got to the end I was disappointed there wasn't more.

I'd like to know why Ranger married someone else but more importantly I'd like to know where Steph goes, who she meets and what happens when she gets back to Trenton.

But that's just me, always wanting more when it's well written like this is.

The ending is great, but if you should happen to continue it, I'll enjoy reading it even if there isn't a HEA.

This story has an awesome idea to it. Angsty, but awesome. PLEASE write more to it! Can Ranger just get a divorce and be with Steph? Where is Steph gonna go? Why did Ranger marry someone without telling Steph his feelings first?

Very intense, yet very promising. I hope you really don't end it here. There is so much more you can do with the subject matter!

Well done. It takes courage to swim against the stream and the popular choices. Ranger with any woman other than Stephanie is not only possible but it is feasible.

Thanks for having the courage to write and post it!

um...this is SO not complete. You definitely need to continue this...

That's my fear when I read Janet's books that Stephanie and Ranger will never put their feelings to words and they wind up with other people never truly happy always longing for the other. Very well written Babe!
