Thoroughly enjoyable. What a great effort you have put in to keep every reader on the edge. A 'feel-good' ending with a shot of romance, suspense because of the open-ending! Well done, Carol!. Love and hugs. I am sure you will soon start on the sequel!:) Cheers!

Perfect, perfect, perfect!!! What a brilliant ending to a brilliant book! You almost got Garth and Allie into a romantic clinch, Lol. I'm glad Michael is going to stay, I wonder if he will pop into the next book, and of course, Faith and Liz! Will Faith recover? You have left such a fabulous wide-open ending, that I can't wait to get stuck into the next book. Superbly well written all the way through! Well done, my clever friend. Love and hugs. Sandra xxxx

    thank you, Sandra...

    I am thrilled with the ending of Secrets in the Wind and hope that "Revenge" will be equally as entertaining, though it's been tough to wrap my head around the story, but I will give it my best.

    Hugs, Carol

So you've you've left the ending open, which is not a bad tactic, in fact it certainly works for me, and undoubtedly fo others. What an interesting episode. And it seems they were set up, and the letter to Cynthia...what the!?? Well done Carol , blessings Roy

    Hope I left enough questions in everyone's mind to get them to follow into the next book. I am struggling but I've been blessed with my writing so I'll continue to fight on.

What a phenomenal finish, Carol, and a cliffhanger, besides! I am very impressed. You managed to get these two to make up perfectly, without even having to kiss.

Here are my few suggestions:

"I'll apologize again if you would like ...
-->
"I'll apologize again if you would like, ...

"The cowboy did good." [this doesn't need to be on a separate line, but should run in with the previous text]

"Allie, You deserve to be in movies."
-->
"Allie, you deserve to be in movies."

***

As if all this wasn't enough, now we really have to read your next book!

I was expecting all the ends to be neatly tied up, finished with a bow, and the words "The end"! I was not expecting THIS - which of course must mean another book, so that will be exciting! Meantime ... congratulations on a most enjoyable novel - are you in the process of publishing it? I wish you every success. Meanwhile, the satisfaction of a job very well done. Thank you so much.

Detailed. Grabbed me right away. Didn't want to stop reading. Caught my imagination beginning, middle, and end. All the characters fit the description in my head as this read is excellent.

    Hello - Thank you for taking the time to read and review the ending chapter of my book. I noticed that you are new to the site and I would like to welcome you. I hope you enjoy it.

    I am a bit puzzled by your rating (the 4 stars) since I have received so many outstanding 6 star reviews. I was wondering if you would mind telling me what you found missing since your review is filled with praise.

    A four star rating means it lacked something and needed to be fixed. The story is very important to me and so is every reviewer. If you could help me out with an explanation, I would be very grateful. If it was an error, would you mind changing the rating?

    Thank you very much.
    Carol

    Honestly I meant to give you 6 stars. I must of been excited and hit the wrong number of stars. I do apologize. Your work is brilliant.

A fine conclusion to this story, Carol! But you didn't give Garth and Allie one romantic evening together! ð??? Looks like another riveting book coming up.

    Yup, it seems pre-martial sex is not appreciated by some.😁

Carol,

You forgot to say 'Thend'. Wow. I was not expecting THAT - you barely even let the gas off, girl. That is not an ending - it's a pause. hahaha

I got so much to teach you! hahahahahahaha [We both know that ain't true!] I'm glad you left things open-ended and I'm glad you are jumping straight back in. That will do ALL of us a lot of good. YAY!

A note:
**and soft instrumental music added a special touch to every diner.
--> to every DINER?
--> maybe to every 'meal'?

I don't have any sixes left - and I almost waited to do this tomorrow, but my life just got a bit more complicated. My eldest daughter and her hubs and the two grands have moved in with us while my own hubby remodels the house next door to us - which they are buying. They'll probably be here for at least six months or so. I have no idea what my life is going to be like starting in the am. I figured I better do what I can while I still can. --sigh-- I'm excited, but a wee bit nervous, too. hahaha

Thanks a bunch. I think you are doing an AWESOME job. What steps have you taken in the publishing area?

CONGRATS~!!!

Hugs-

    None...I have no idea where I would start. I want to polish the last three stories and add the fourth, and maybe self-publish them all together.

    By diner, I was referring to the person dining there, but maybe I should rewrite it.

    As for life...You have no idea. I have been made guardian of two children, and my three great-grandchildren are always here as well, so life is a zoo for this old lady, not to mention the stress that goes with Kaitlyn. It isn't good. I wish you the best of luck with your situation.

    Thank you for the review and for following the story.... I appreciate it very much.

    smiles, Carol

So much for a happy ending. The adventure never stops and evil never rests. It seems someone is out for revenge and they are taking no prisoners this time. That was a great final chapter and an excellent way to lead into the next book. You got the readers hooked.

Smart writing.
