Aww, I'm in tears! That was such a lovely, beautiful ending, Carol. I've loved every word of this incredible story, my friend. I'm so pleased Jenna and Charles had those few hours together. Now he is with his one and only love, Eleanor, they have eternity now to share and I'm sure they will. So very well done, my clever, talented friend. Love you lots! Sandra xxxx
When do you start the next one??????LOL xxxx

Good morning, Sandra!
Got out of bed at three because I couldn't contain myself any longer. I too am in tears.... I am thrilled that yo and others truly enjoyed my characters and the story as I did.
Without your constant support and encouragement. I doubt I could have done it.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Smiles, hugs, and love, Carol

Great job finishing the story, Carol! Of course, Eleanor can come back just as Garth comes back now and then. I'm sure she can team up with any of your favorite characters. Best wishes in the contest!

Comment from karenina
I know I've said this before, Carol...
But, no kidding, this is absolutely my favorite of all your books!
Eleanor was such a delightful spirit!
The mystery, action, ghostly hijinx and romance all flowed together so effortlessly!
This six is meant to honor the entire book...which you finished with days to spare!
Brave sweet woman!

Well, the ghosts are playing tricks on me this morning!
I wrote you one of my famous "dripping with mush" responses and thought I sent it off to you to start your morning with nausea.......but, here you are again! LOL Just gives me another chance to get all this excitement out of me.
Thank you for always being there for me and for encouraging me to keep moving forward. I took the last step last night and raided the piggy bank..... I'm on board with the publisher. I can't believe it!
Smiles, hugs and love, Carol

OMG! Wowzers! Other way cool expressions of excitement inappropriate for my age! Woo-hoo!
(In case I didn't make it clear...I am SO EXCITED FOR YOU!)
-
You did! I am flying high today... wrote a flash, wrote two chapters on the new story, and answered all my responses for this story and the upcoming book. Somebody stop me...no don't!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me such a special gift. This book brought life back into me too! I know my Mom and Mike are proud that I found my foothold in writing once again. Couldn't have done it without the support of my friends on FS. I am blessed!
Smiles, hugs, and love! Carol

Yes, I could see your joy came back with your last two books. You will have made your mother and Mike proud and it is a wonderful feeling to express your creativity so well. Congratulations again.

Comment from LJbutterfly
I deliberately waited until after midnight to write my review after my sixes were replenished. I feel totally satisfied after reading this ending, filled with hope, emotion and love. All of the main characters get to live happily ever after, whether in heaven or on earth.
You are a gifted romance novelist, in addition to writing crime, action, and mystery novels. This was one of your best efforts.

Good morning, Lorraine!
There are no words to describe how I feel right now! I am truly blessed to have brought this story to life and to have such a great friend to follow me through page by page. Your support has been my constant encouragement. Thank you so much.
Never in my life did I think anyone would think my efforts were gifted. Are you sure you weren't having a nip of wine? LOL, I am blessed!
It's three thirty in the morning and I had to get up because I was so excited to know what people thought. Yours is the first I read, and what a way to blast off my day. Thank you!
Smiles, hugs, and love, Carol

I don't have a sixth star, but you certainly deserve it. Cried all the way through it as everyone ended up happy. Lovely ending to a really wonderful story.

Comment from Pamusart
Hi Carol
Did you have a chapter or two before this chapter were Judge Doyle was arrested, and the murderer of Eleanor was caught and Trevor was exonerated?
Those are all unresolved in my mind and the synopsis at the beginning doesn't deal with any of those things. So I feel incomplete
But, it does end on a positive note Charles and Eleanor get to be together forever in love. He had a chance to meet their daughter.
Here's the other thing was that was unresolved what happened to Megan?
I think you should update your synopsis to say what is happened to all these scenarios that are unresolved here
Here I've prayed
""I'm prayed I would see you again.""

Yes, there were several chapters where the FBI and Donatelli and Veraci set up the Judge so he could sell the pictures and he was arrested. Margaret got even with him while in interrogation.
You missed a lot. Eleanor and the guys set up another sting and rescued Megan and the other girls who were on a yacht about to be sold into human trafficking.
The judge poisoned Eleanor's sugar that she used in her tea because she found out that he was taking her pictures from the gallery and making fotgeries and then selling the originals for big bucks.
Trevor is still in jail for the drug charges.
Hope that helps!
Smiles, Carol
-
Oh yes it helped a lot. I was hoping Trevor would be a free man at the end. But everything else worked out the way it should have.
-
Trevor just has a drug charge to clear up and it is his first offense so he will probably be okay. Besides, he knows evidence on Judge Doyle that might help him out too.
Smiles, Carol

Oh my goodness. This wasn't the best time to start the story lol The writing is excellent and the story seems interesting even though I have no clue what is happening. I will try to find some time to go back and read more at some point.

Thanks Marilyn...I am told this is the best book I've written and I've written a ton of them. I do know this one was fun and if you want to read a good book...try it on for size. I believe this is the one I will publish first. I'm excited.
Smiles, Carol
