Hooray for Sarah! She should get a raise because she's also working as a psychotherapist or mom. Hooray for Sami because she's deep enough to see through Mateo and knows his love isn't genuine. Glad Noah and Sami talked it out!

Comment from T B Botts
Hello Barbara,
I think this is one of the better chapters you've written so far. I'm still a little confused as to why they can't seem to understand each other's feelings. It seems apparent to everyone but them that they love each other, if love can occur in such a short time.
I liked the way you explained why it would never work out with Sami and Mateo.
I'm curious, if Mateo is going to be spending time with these escorts, is the government going to be paying for his fun time? I guess its no worse than some of the other things the government has funded, certainly no worse than gain of function research in China that brought us Covid.
Well done gal. This was really good.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

Thank you for the kind review. Yes, the Government is paying. I was wondering if I should say something about that. LOL So true about the things the government pays for.

Aw... the ending is so sweet. Your book is very romantic. It's good to see we a guarded man let down the walls for the woman he loves. You are a great story teller. Well done.

Typo : Noah explains to Mateo that Chen might own these export services and perhaps they can be infiltrated to find evidence of this truth. Sami is crying in her room and Sarah tells Noah off, it's Noah's fault, he says it's against regulations to go to her room to comfort her. Although he confirms his feeling for her, well done, Barbara, great write, blessings Roy

Most welcome
Comment from Gunner Lil
What was in that hefty file? Pictures, old newspaper clippings, contract forms?
How large was the nightstand to hold all of Noah's belongings? Was his weapon a .22 or 357magnum?
Was the bed that Sami and Noah sat on a twin, queen or a king?
Complete lack of sensory descriptions.
This was a good dialogue only writing with some tags.

None of that information moves the story along. I don't like reading frivolous information in stories, so I don't include it in mine. When I'm reviewing and come to those areas, I actually skip them. My readers, other than you, don't seem to mind either. That's probably why we have so many different styles of writing. People can choose what they like to read. Thank you for the kind review.

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
This is a very good chapter. Sami has proved she has power over Noah by making him break rules, and he doesn't mind breaking them for her. They better come to an understanding for the future when this is over, but, of course, they will because this is a romance. One correction: . . . hand (through) his short hair.

Thank you for the catch. I have made the change. I always appreciate help.
Comment from Wendy G
Well done with this chapter. Matteo is willing to participate in this scheme which may put him in danger but it sounds like he's doing it just to help Sami. He obviously thinks she's playing hard to get, but I am surprised a playboy would be attracted to her, especially enough to persist despite repeated rejections. It will be interesting to see how this develops.

Mateo has a soft side and Sami has brought is out. Since, they've been together for so long, they know each other really well. Thank you for the kind review.

Comment from judiverse
I'm surprised Mateo went along with the plan to have someone get into the escort service, if it doesn't bring him clser to Sami. She has turned down his proposal again. With his playboy reputation, it's a wonder he'd be attracted to someone like Sami. Maybe she presents a challenge to him. I'm glad she turned down his offer to stay in home while they're still trying to get Chen and rescue the girls. Mateo would probably interpret it as Sami really wanting to marry him. Sami is so emotional. Sometimes it seems like it's all about her and her feelings. Anyway, her tears get Noah's attention. They both tend to misinterpret the other's actions. She is impossible at times, as Noah says. Punctuation: sentence in second line: escort services are located; therefore... Great chapter. judi

It does present a challenge to him. She said no and he's no used to it. Thank you for the kind review and I'll get on the correction.
