Romantic Story Reviews by Mount Saint Michael
The plot of the romantic story was really interesting and well developed. The part where her husband, the AA man, arrived at the door was very good. A bit of a shock, but very good. The involvement of the milk carton was well thought out and it gave continuity to the story. The last paragraph summed up the whole story well and we were glad to hear that the couple were united again.

I thought that this story was well developed and it had a very comprehensive conclusion which was clear and concise. This ensured that we understood it completely so any confusions we had were resolved. The elements of the genre were evident throughout. The ending was typical of this. It was happy, if not a bit predictable. The introduction of the suggested relations between Patrick and the nanny also adhered to this genre. However, my only criticism would be that it ended too quickly - it could have gone into greater detail but on the whole it was well written. The illustrations were very apt and suitable for this romance tying in with the story, helping us to create an image of the story in our minds. Well Done!

My overall view of this story is that is very well written. The first paragraph is extremely eye catching. The style of writing is excellent and paragraph to paragraph the story becomes more and more developed. I thought that Patrick and Marion were going to get together and 'live happily ever after', but it obviously was not to be. When Tom came to the rescue of the broken down cars, Marion stared into his eyes and memories of the good days started to float back into her mind. It was great to see that Patrick wasn't left a single man for much longer when he left the storyline with the babysitter. It was a most romantic ending with Tom and Marion getting back together and giving their marriage another chance and a fresh new start.BY LISA BURKE AND ORLA DALTON,
I really enjoyed this story . It shows that every cloud has a silver lining. If Marians' car had not broken down she may never have got back with her husband and they would continue living unhappy lives apart. It is fate that on this particular night at that particular time, they both happen to be in the same place, each in need of the other. This story is different from the usual romantic stories. I expected it to be a usual soppy story where a couple meet, fall in love instantly and then live happily ever after. However this has alot more to it than that. We first think that the 'couple' in the story would be Patrick and Marian, however as the story unfolds we see the relationship between Marian and Tom, a relationship that is too strong to be broken because of Toms' alcoholic nature. The story is very entertaining, well written and leaves us wanting more.

This is a perfect example of a romantic story and the twists and turns just add to the effect. At first you think Marion and Patrick will be perfect together but then her ex husband turns up almost by fate, which has a leading part in all love stories.
The opening paragraph seemed to be quite hard to adapt into a romantic story but you did an excellent job. Each paragraph jelled excellently with the previous one, so much so that you would hardly think this was a rolling story.
All in all it was a great read and its a credit to all those involved.

Hi Our Ladies Grammar,
We have just read your Romantic Story, it was very exciting. The introduction of Tom was very unexpected and added a impressive twist to the story. The expectations of Patrick and Marion getting together were quashed with Tom's introduction - this added great interest and romance to the story.
All the paragraphs blended together well and the expectations built up in the first paragraph continued throughout the story. All the ideas worked really well and we particularly enjoyed the introduction of the children, as it showed Marion had responsibilities . It also made the story more interesting as more characters were introduced.
Congrats on a job well done, we really had a great read.
Romantic Rolling Story Review
This rolling story has been extremely well crafted and put together. There is absolutely no hint that it's been written by five different groups from all around Europe. Each paragraph flows freely into the next and the story line is never broken and the main theme is never lost. In this case the passion between Marian and Patrick and the love between Marian and her ex-husband, Tom.
The story line is excellent in its entirety. It's gripping, entertaining and enthralling. The anxiety in the air between Marian and Tom has been captured and portrayed very realistically, but with a feeling of sympathy and anger.
The standard of English from the non-English speaking Europeans is excellent and shows that a lot of work has been put into their paragraphs.
The presentation of the rolling story was also very well done. The purple background and the pictures of love hearts and broken down cars accompanied the text appropriately.
Overall this romantic story has proven and will prove very popular with it's readers. People will enjoy reading this story because it flows freely and is easily understood. The story contains countless twists and surprising but very clever extra pieces of information, which gives you more depth into the lives of the different characters. This story works successfully and it never loses it's excitement and momentum.
