So Noah opened up to Sami .Quite a sad story .This confession has brought them close.
When you are enjoying a story it is difficult to pin point errors unless they are bad enough to.interfere with the reading.pleasure. perhaps that's why your readers have not picked them up

    Thank you for the kind review. I am afraid maybe people aren't reading. You've given me another reason. Thank you.

People aren't catching g the errors because they are getting wrapped up in the story. Especially the dialogue. Makes us forget we are exiting when the story is so good.


This chapter was action packed. Lots of activity going on. Lots of secrets. Pretty realistic in adult professional lives. Good job!

    I hope that's correct. That's a good thing. I sometimes wonder if they're even bothering to read or just collecting the money.

I wasn't sure how or when Noah took the pregnancy kit from her pocket, or how she didn't know he did, but I didn't think it appropriate for him to do that without asking, and I didn't think it was appropriate for him to yell at her rather than just ask for the information he wanted. Maybe just me. However, they are starting to share more with each other about meaningful life experiences, which is good.

    It was supposed to be a comma. Thank you for the catch. Noah reached into her jeans pocket and took the pregnancy kit out, after he accused her. Thank you for the kind review.

Aw... I love how the story is unfolding... it's so romantic.

I think Sami and Noah are going to be fine.

I didn't see Noah's story coming. No wonder he is guarded and finds opening up hard to do.

Well done

I didn't notice any errors so that seems to be ok. The story line in great and explains Noah's adherence to rules. If he had followed even common sense his childhood friend wouldn't have been unsupported when she met the man who killed her.

This was a wonderful chapter. Lots of twists and turns. Family and most of all some lovely romantic moments. Noah seems a lovely, caring man.
I look forward to where this is heading. No spags today.

I'm terrible at editing, but I can tell you how a story made me feel or shat I like or dislike about a character. I liked how Noah, being the kind of guy he is, was so sure that Sami was getting the pregnancy test for herself. He is a bit of a hothead, but does give her the opportunity to explain things. His rigidness is perfectly balanced by her spontaneity. This was another great chapter in this book. Gretchen

Somehow, I don't see Sami and Noah as a lasting couple. It's just the protective custody thing that has brought them together. Sami is needy and Noah has a job that makes lots of demands. Interesting that when Noah sees the pregnancy test, he immediately thinks it is for Sami and makes his assumptions about her past. I think Noah would be the one to judge what's best for Sarah if she is pregnant. Let Noah make his decision based on agency policy. Interesting backstory Noah tells about Ella and how it's affected him. Great work. I'll stop second-guessing Noah and Sami now. judi

    LOL Noah has a lot of issues to work through. We'll see if Sami can break down those walls. Thank you for the kind review.

    You're welcome. To me, Sami's the one with the issues. Noah has to think about his job and everyone's safety. judi

What a sad and motivating story about Noah and the young girl his carelessness caused to be abducted. Many of us are motivated by some mistake we live to regret. It can be a very strong motivator as was the case in this case.

That's quite a story Noah told Sami and little wonder he's so protective of her because he's clearly never really forgiven himself. These two love birds seem to be getting closer and closer and, now that Noah has revealed this very private matter, I imagine Sami will warm to him still more. An enjoyable chapter, Barbara, and do I sense from the dialogue here that the end is in sight? Well done! Debbie. Small edit below:
I'm willing (to) take the risk
