Another excellent chapter. A lot of things happen here, and it really helps carry the story. I'm glad to see that you're showing the strong feelings that Steven has for Leya. I can't wait to read the next chapter.

Hello barbara
This is well written and the relationshipo betweenSteven and Leya is well conveyed through the dialogue in a "will they, won't they" romance...I am enjoying that and observing the style used, for I may learn something from it.

I stumbled over the last section and had to re read it...One minute they were in the hospital, the next she had jumped on a plane to Columbia...It didnt seem to fit with the rest of the pace, but thats nothing more than a subjective view on that section, others may well find it easy to follow.

Well done and good writing.

Tony

    Thank you for your review and I wait to hear what you have to say. I didn't want to spend much time with the hospital, but needed it to be there. Leya getting onto a plane is leading into the next part. I will recheck it and see if there's a better way to handle it.

Ok this is the first chapter of this story I have read. It was good. I like the MC and the story line. I felt it was a bit rushed. I would have like a bit more, before the first break. I felt like it was a very tense situation, but that the characters didn't seem very upset or worried. If that is true, maybe it could be explained.

I also liked the attraction that is building between Steven and Leya, but felt like that could have had a bit more description too.

This seems like a fun story and I would like to read more.

    I think if you read the first 15 posts all of your questions would be answered. I do not post in chapters because each chapter is too long to post, so you get a scene from a chapter. Thank you for your review.

This is a very interesting story and boy were those cops idiots to leave the women unguarded like that. Keep up the great work.

barbara wilkey,
Your romance fiction story "Tantalizing Eyes" is a must read and well written story. The action is fast paced. The dialogue is great. The arranged marrage is a great plot to develope romance. Steven and Leya have great chemestry. The sexual tension is wonderful. Matt says the following to Steven when he finds out that Leya went to Columbia. "She's going to confront her father. Dani and I've been married for over three years and that's exactly what she'd do. What I can't figure out is how she'd get to Colombia. Dani had access to money, Leya doesn't."
This question left the reader to want to read more to see what happens.
This is a five star chapter.

"Tantalizing Eyes Chapter 16: Chapter 4 Part 3" is another riveting chapter. I was glued to the screen the entire time. Lots of suspense and strong dialogue here. Well done!

I have rated many poems, but this is the first time I have commented on this type of work. I generally like this type of story, but then I ask myself, "How does this stand out from many of the other "Drug cartel/police" stories that permeate the airwaves and literature?"
I do not know what has proceeded this chapter so it is hard for me to make a real good critic. This chapter did, however, hold my interest and had me asking myself why something didn't happen when the two policemen went to get coffee? I guess I'll have to wait until next time to find out.

    This isn't a "Drug cartel/police" story, it is a romance novel and the "Drug cartel/police" story is a extremely minor piece that puts the hero and heroin together. I'm sorry you have not read the first 16 posts then you would understand what is happing in this story. Thank you for your review and the time you took to read it.

    Sorry! I knew I might be sticking my foot in my mouth by looking at only a snapshot in time. This is my first time on this site. tahti!

    Not a problem. We all need to start somewhere. If you notice in the listing of my post you will see it's listed as a romance novel. I hate to mention this, but it is possible to change the three stars.

    I'll have to read more. I'm not familiar with how to navigate this site or even how to change a review. If you can get me interested in a romance novel then you are pretty good. My wife has been reading them for years. I am probably your average guy when it comes to romance novels, but I do like romance in the way of chivalry as in "Robin Hood" or other types of stories that are similar. I guess there needs to be some action with the romance. I will discover this as I read more of your novel and hope I can learn to understand this web site more effectively. tahti!

    Yes, there is more to romance than guy meets girl and they fall in love and have sex. At least to the way I write it. I have many men followers, which surprises me, but I do and they like what action I put in mine. The male followers classify mine as suspense/romance. They wouldn't be caught dead reading a simple romance.

    If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I had to have help getting around this site and many helped me. I want to return the favor. Don't be bashful in asking.
