Hi, Barb,

I'm glad Paige looked for Mary Pat and apologized. It shows even rich people can have character.

Good chapter about Mary Pat slipping in a little Chase talk as well.

Cheers & Blessings

The tension is thick. Mary Pat will forgive Paige, but Cash was really hurt by her accusation. I wonder where the hat came from. The time spent in the backyard feels rushed. You might want to fill it in with more conversation. :) nancy

Very well told. The characters are clear and distinct and the dialogue is realistic. Paige has a problem with trust. What was that from. I an sure I missed some parts. How did she end up on crutches? I should go back and read more. Well done.

    Paige broke her ankle chasing Morgan in a thunderstorm. Paige found her fiance in bed with another woman. Thank you for the kind review.

Hi Barbara,

This is a great chapter and I enjoyed every word. Paige was a little harsh about the people who want her money but she should know Cash is not. I'm glad she apologized to Mary Pat as she is a good friend and I am sure Paige doesn't want to lose her. Now I am wondering where the Confederate hat came from. I will have to wait a week to fine out! Another wonderful chapter that has left me pondering. Blessings, chey

Amazing how real life gets in the way sometimes, isn't it Barb? I haven't dropped in for a while, but understood pretty well what was going on. I always enjoy your clean style, few dialogue tags, GOOD dialogue propelling the story effortlessly forward. The only confusion for me was the last sentence because I didn't know if the hat came from inside or from outside the house! :)Sharyn

Great chapter Barbara. I can feel the characters emotions, I can see through their eyes. You have the gift that many authors yearn for. You can be your characters. Bravo!

Wonderful chapter, very well written, as always. I'm glad Paige now knows Cash really loves her. I can't believe summer is already over and you're back to work.
Great job Barbara!

Barbara...

Wow. I am surprised. Being rather new to the site, I've been avoiding reviews of book chapters or sections thereof. I thought it would be difficult, not knowing the characters or plot. But I decided to take the plunge and give it a try with your work tonight - and I'm glad I did.

Though I don't know the characters or plot, which puts everything out of context (quite literally), your work lets me know that Paige, Billy Joe, Mary Pat, and Cash are indeed characters that can be known.

Much like meeting someone in person and observing them in action for a few minutes, this excerpt from Chapter 12 of 'Savannah Love' gives me a glimpse into the lives of real people and provides a strong sense of who they are.

I am also surprised to find myself engaged in a plot of which I am ignorant and intrigued to learn more about what is going on in their lives. My sense of surprise does not seem to be a commentary on your writing ability as much as it is an astonishing realization - an 'amazement' that I can care about the lives of your characters and be drawn into the story (and back story) of their lives through such a brief glimpse into a small portion of conversation in less than fifteen minutes time (in their world and mine).

That being said, the reality is that this phenomenon is indeed a strong commentary on your writing ability. The creation of something so natural and effortless for readers always springs forth from the effort, expertise, and experience of the author. Well done.

I don't have a large enough sample to speak to many of the literary aspects of your work (theme, style, focus, plot, direction, flow, character development, and such) but from a technical perspective, the voice and pace of this segment are flawless and your conversational writing skills are excellent. The interactions between your characters flows naturally and are filled with excellent points of character reference and insights into their personalities and motivations.

This is what drew me in to their lives and their stories.

Well done, Barbara. Keep up the good work. I will be anxious to read your book when it is finished.

Blessings...

    You are welcome, Barbara. Glad you liked it.

    I have a request. I don't know if my review was helpful or of value to you but if it was, a reviewer nomination (if deserved) would be quite helpful as I need one more nomination to move to the next level.

    If you've already done so, thank you very much. If not, thanks in advance (if it was helpful or of value).

    Blessings...
