I didn't see any nits, Sandra. I get so deep in thought when I read a story I seldom notice mistakes. It has to be a big one for me to notice. This is exciting, She has him set up for the fall and he is anxious to grab the bait! I hope she nails the obnoxious Cad. He deserves it. Well done. Nancy:)

    If I had to choose between a reader finding my nits, or one who gets so involved with the story, it's the second one I'd go for most of all. Thank you so much, Nancy, you have given me a most encouraging review and I loved it. Warm hugs, dear friend. :)) Sandra xx

Hi Sandra, that Colin is a piece of bad art, isn't he. He is so assured of himself, and thinks he can have his way with her, so to speak. He's disgusting. I still think she has to be careful. Please hurry up with what is next. I like this story. A hug, Ulla xxx

She found out what she wanted to know, set the trap. I hope she didn't put herself in harm's way. Your chapter is very well written, interesting from start to finish. Your characters are believable, really come to life. Like always, I look forward to reading more.

Hello Sandra, Reading this chapter I can see what I have been missing. I'm not on FS much lately but I read you at the beginning couple of chapters and liked the start of your story - thought it was a great opening for some chemistry between Tina and Grant. I may be wrong so I shall have to catch up to find out. This chapter is well written with great attention to small details that makes a story worth reading and, of course, the master of the cliff-hanger LOL - you have done it again. Warm wishes, love Dorothy xxx

What a fantastic hook!!! I can't wait to find out what his plan is. I also hope Tania will be safe. I am not sure she will. Colin is a real jerk. At least Monica knows Tania is with him. Great job.

I felt the undercurrent of excitement in this episode and I desperately wanted to continue reading. I have literally just a couple of comments to make.

'A slight chill hung in the air. Tania glanced at the overcast sky and wondered if it might have been wiser to have worn a full-length coat.' The first sentence is tell and the rest is show. Do you need the tell? One kind reviewer of my latest chapter praised the way my weather was made apparent by its effect on the characters and I realised that I had accidentally got it right!

'This is it! 'Yes, of course I have.' Earlier you used the italics to do 'thinks' bit here you don't. I got rid of the italics prior to uploading mine to KDP because I don't like them and have never seen them in a British published book. But then you have to use indirect speech techniques such as 'he thought', 'he wondered' etc.

There were several other examples later on here is one of them:

'Well done! That was excellent. Monica would be so proud of me. Perhaps I should have been an actress.' That is all silent 'thinks' so how are you going to make that clear to the reader. It's a tough one, difficult to get round.

    Thanks for picking that up. I forgot to change them to Italics. When I wrote my trilogy and copied and pasted over, the italics stayed. Now they don't. I always use advanced editor, and can't understand why it's not copying over as it's pasted. I'll go and sort those out. Thanks, Jim! :)) Sandra xx

I seem Colin thinks he's going to be able to get his hands on those plans. Tanya had the fact he is interested in them on her recording. It will be interesting to find out how he plans to get them from her. I'm glad she is over him and on to his tricks. Nicely written. I look forward to more.

    Thank you so much, Beth, for this really lovely review. Tania will have to keep her wits about her, especially now he knows she has drawn the plans he wants to get hold of. Warm hugs, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

Well, I'm already wanting to hang Colin up by his toes, and he hasn't even done anything yet. Of course, with his type, they work harder at conniving than the effort it would take to do the job. Thanks for sharing.
