This was a great story! I was only disappointed in the end because I really wanted to see what it would be like when they finally made love! Especially since it was eluded to so for many chapters before the end.

Kudos. What an emotive read.

Just re-read one of my all-time fav stories on FF, Jenny. Thanks for a delightful read using unusual circumstances for a fresh new outlook for a Babe FF story. Loved your Steph/Tiger who all the Rangemen fell a little in love with. Thanks for keeping Ranger guessing about his Babe and for them each accepting who they are at age 50. I think I loved the story even more this second time around. Thanks again! -Kathy

Just finished reading your story. Enjoyed your Steph character, it was a delight that your Steph was successful and independent. Impressed how you wove her backstory into the plot. Liked that all the characters were more mature and established. Glad that Joe was a minor role. So glad you didn’t change any of the Rangeman characters and that Ranger remained true. Thank you for a fun read.

Nice story. I love this AU. very well done

Excellent story. I was sad to see it end

Loved this story! Your stories are always interesting, and wonderfully written. The characters in this one really touch your heart.

One of the best I've read on this site

Just wanted to say this is one of my all time favorite stories! Liz

At first, I really wasn't sure about this story. But by chapter 3, I was totally hooked. It's cliche, but I laughed, I cried, I loved this story!

I wouldn't even know where to begin. This is the best Stephanie Plum fanfic I've read so far. I laughed, I cried, I read it all in a day and a half. Could not put it down once I got started...pesky things like dinner and sleep got in the way.

Thank you SO MUCH for this delightful AU tale of Steph and Carlos meeting as 50 year olds! So precious, poignant at times, scary at others, and that adorable Ducky semi-OC! I could hear David McCallum's voice reading every line of dialogue written for him! You nailed Ducky's personality and speech mannerisms!

And Stephanie was great: LOVED how she blew through RangeMan security on her bicycle and she had no idea she'd done anything wrong! Also, how Ducky rightly identified her as a highly sensitive Empath, and how she used her unwitting talent to help all the Merry Men begin healing from their lonely existences. She was amazing!

Great tale! I hope to return to re-read it someday! Thank you for posting! -Kathy

Great Story! I like the older Steph & Ranger. Thank you!

Wonderful story.

Love the healthy eating props. Diabetes is strong in my family & I've committed to healthy eating & down to a healthy weight to control it. So important as it can impact all major organs. Thanks for pushing it.
