Awww, this was such a sweet chapter!! I've been trying to keep up but am currently in the process of moving and I can kinda relate to Katherine's situation. The boys are sooo sweet in this chapter I wish it were happening to me, lol. You have a great visit with your family. I'm actually trying to visit family out of state, too, but they have internet, lol. Don't rush with Kathrine and Gabriel, I like where this is going! Sorry I haven't been reviewing much, I'll try to do more in the upcoming days!!

I don't know what has been happening to my sixes, I'll make sure you get one next time. Your lovely romantic story with the threat of Frost and the in-laws hanging over them like acid rain, is so well written. This warm family scene really shows how close the family have become, and how they easily accept Gabe. Well done, my friend, and have a wonderful holiday with your family, and I know you're excited at seeing them and the new granddaughter! :)) Sandra xx

Hello Barbara.Wilkey,
Nice piece of Romance Fiction in continuation having lucid as well as perfectly matching the theme phraseology, captivating flow throughout from the beginning to the end, and depicting the whole journey/story from kitchen, breakfast, grocery store, dinner, movie etc. in a VERY interesting way.
Description of amicable family atmosphere in and outside the house is particularly noteworthy.
Flawless in all respects!

You have handled the relationship between Gabriel and Katherine with great sensitivity in this chapter, showing what a good team they would make bringing up the boys.
I hope you enjoy your vacation and visiting family.
All good wishes, Tony

I love the restraint Gabriel has towards sex with Katherine. It's so romantic the way they steal kisses when no one's looking. You're making us all wait for that big night. It's lovely. Great chapter.

Very smooth writing and as interesting story. There's one place when they grocery shopping that I think you have a misplaced word. He put his hand on the small of "her" back. Please check.

    Thank you for the kind review. I will recheck. I have a bad habit of misplaces words or leaving them out all together and it's always the small words.

This chapter shows Katherine and Gabriel settling into family life, dealing with the typical kids' problems, figuring out the food and the movies. I liked the scene in the grocery store with all the people from the town watching them, surmising they are a couple, watching them from behind their backs. That added an element of the tension of this situation. Very realistic, and it complicates things, but it also shows how much dedicated to each other they are becoming. estory

It's nice to read a story that even makes pancakes and grocery shopping fun. Where the best of intentions are always being shared by two people who should and hopefully will become a couple. LOL. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful vacation!
