What a lead into a sequel! Awesome!

I only have one question after reading the entire book... What, exactly, happened to Jack?

Your characters were easy to love, or hate. Great character development and awesome plot with lots of twists and turns. Great action! Very realistic dialogue. I just love the whole thing. Look out, James Patterson. Here comes Carol! Hugs and love, me

Thank you for ranking me up there with James Patterson, but I doubt that will ever happen. It's a wonderful thought just to be published, and I hope that will come with time. I have started book 4 and hope I can submit all four books at the same time once this one is done.

Thanks for continuing to read and for all your kindness.

Smiles and hugs, Carol

Oh you clever author! Winding the perfect ending....into a high tension spring that launches us into another riveting adventure!
Holy cow! Poor Garth and Allie won't even have time for a sip of champagne! This book has been thoroughly enjoyable, Carol. Clearly a labor of love. I can hardly wait for the next to begin! --Karenina

Karenina,

Was the ending a let down since they didn't get their evening together? Maybe I can do better in the next book -- I am working on the outline now but it's a struggle. I just want to climb into the story and forget everything else.

Thanks for the review and your thoughts. I hope you are doing ok.
Love ya, Carol

No! It was a slam dunk success! So unexpected, the call, Jazz in crisis! You drive this vehicle like a NASCAR ACE!

I would not change a thing!

Wow! You don't end a book, you dive right into another one. So Garth and Allie will have to postpone their evening of romance and try to figure out who's trying to kill her sister.
Glad you wrapped up all the characters nicely. Great work on all your research to bring the town and the winery business to life! Congrats on finishing!!

I am excited about the next book. I can't wait. You have me hooked.

Never. I am looking forward to a quiet evening with you, and who knows where it will lead." Garth smiled, "I haven't felt this good in weeks. And you are the perfect woman to make it even better."(Allie would not know if Garth smiled or not.)

I knew you couldn't just let it all go and not throw another unexpected twist in to keep us readers on our toes or glued to our seats. It's been a great ride and I can hardly wait to read where you take us next. Thanks for sharing.

I fear we might walk on the dark side of life in the next book.... well dark side for me, not sure about you. LOL Just kidding of course. I'm working on the outline and it's scaring me... If it works, it should be a different roller coaster for sure.

Thanks for the review and the stars. Smiles and hugs, Carol

You are full of surprises. You end a book with a beginning. I'm glad you writing is off in a new direction. I hope you are doing something about getting the frist three into print. There are a few quesionss left unanswered on this one, which you'll probably put to rest in the next one. You are clever. I'm enjoyinng the ride.
