Hi Barbara, great continuation to your new novel. I find it a little strange that the bartender didn't try to help her. Now, I'm looking forward when she's coming to in a strange hotel bed. All best. Ulla:)))
Logan watched as McKenzie paralleled park. = ... parallel parked ...

I think there's good attention to detail in your writing, and we get the emotions roiling inside this guy as he shadows McKenzie. It's a bit creepy, and interesting in that he seems to have all kinds of motives. There's a tense scene in the bar between Logan and the guys trying to make off with her. It seems a little unbelievable that the bartender wouldn't intervene there. He says he thinks the two are up to no good, so why didn't he help her? Also, if he cares so much about her, why does he so easily give her up to Logan, knowing nothing about him? Just something for you to think about; an angle another perspective on your premise. estory

    The bartender never saw Mac before and either did the two men. A bartender is going to mind his own business in order to remain in business. Thank you for the kind review.

This is such a good start to your new novel, Barbara, I wonder what she will say when she wakes up in Logan's bed! LOL. Now, where is my new dog? Logan hasn't been too impressed with Mac so far. I bet they'll make a great team! lol. Well done, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

Hi, Barbara,

I enjoy longer posts in the novels. I've been testing the waters and once you get your audience hooked, you can get away with posts of around 1200 words.

I love the car. My brother had a '69 Candy Apple Blue Roadrunner. Same body style and the great horn that sounded like the cartoon character.

This chapter gives us insight into Logan's growing concern and maybe interest in Mac. Just hoping she doesn't shoot him when she wakes up in the morning.

Looking forward to more,

~patty~

This was a surprising turn of events. I'm interested to see what happened to McKenzie in the bar. I liked the length of this excerpt. It was just long enough to digest and give the reader the necessary information to hook them for the next chapter. Good job.

"Can't wait to hear your story," Logan said to the passed out Mac. It better be a good story she had to tell because Logan had been questioning her ability as a private investigator even before the pub incident.
I want to know what happened to Mac in that pub. Like Logan, I can't wait to hear the story.

She's got some 'splainin' to do. Good thing he went to the bar. What kind of dog does she have, anyway? Probably a good idea for a woman living alone to have a big scary dog. :)

This was a very interesting chapter. The only thing that caught me off guard was: He watched her lifeless body. It sounded like she was dead.
To answer your question, I don't mind reading longer posts. Bring 'em on! :)

I think that first phrase should be parallel park(ed).

Macho man, huh? Too much car for the little lady? Already your male protagonist is 'under my skin'. LOL

I can't wait to hear her story too! What the heck happened? (BTW, nice detail, Barbara, the keys... Good one!)

    Thank you for the kind review. Logan really is a good guy, just a little opinionated.

Logan will have his hands full when Mac wakes up. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words making for a very good read. There is very good imagery.
