As much as Cordero denies his offsides are teasing him about the "date". It seems that everyone knows he's attracted to Alexandra except him, but we know thats no the case, this one a great romance, you're romance stories are unique, I'm very comfortable reading them Barbara, well done, blessings Roy

    Thank you for the encouragement. I'm pitching one of my novel to Hallmark and need all the encouragement and prayers I can get.

Cord may deny it, but it is pretty clear that he and Ali are headed down the romance lane. Others my try to cut in, but they will not be allowed to distract the two soon to be love birds from closing the deal on the inevitable.

    These two will have many trials. The big one, Cord hates cities and Ali is a big city lawyer who loves her family. Thank you for the kind review.

I love the way this story is developing. These two are definitely into each other. There may be trouble with Pat who seems to be determined to win her away from Cord. I enjoy your romances. You are and excellent writer.

It's well written and the dialogue between the characters feels natural and easy to follow. As this is chapter 7 or 8 I'm not quite up to speed with what's going on, but I found it easy to connect with the characters. I liked the interaction between Bob, Jim and Cordero in the barn.
No errors noted. No edits needed that I could find.
All the best,
Jan

Your story has some interesting contrasts. I will look forward to reading additional chapters. Thank you for the western flavor. You seem very well versed in it.

This is another fine chapter, Barbara. It will be interesting to see how the "date" goes. I'm concerned about Pat intruding. Well done.

You might have already been told about the line spacing. I find sometimes when I paste a word document in, the spacing looks too big between paragraphs, but if you fix it before it's in the main editing box, you will see when you get there that there are no line spaces.

    I did the line spacing. It shows up on mine. I am wondering why it's not showing up on yours. HMMM I need to investigate. Thank you.

    You're welcome, Barbara. Perhaps you were fixing it while I was reading it.
reply by the author on 05-Mar-2022
    I hope so. I just rechecked.
reply by Judy Lawless on 05-Mar-2022
    Yes, I just looked at it again and it's all good.

Hmm, now I wonder what is going on with Pat, I don't trust him. I like Cordero, he's going to end up with Ali, and she has enough to cope with at the moment, as I'm sure her ex will be making an appearance soon. Hmmm, does Pat know anything about that??
I see you are using the advanced not the basic. You need to manualy go and put all your spaces in. I found that Google docs did what yours has done, but my MSWord copies over perfectly. You'll get used to it soon.
Well done on this chapter, Barbara, it's getting exciting! :)) Sandra xx

    I did. I will recheck that. I am wondering if you reviewed while I did it. Thank you. Did you earn the money attached?
reply by Sandra Stoner-Mitchell on 05-Mar-2022
    I see you have now, it's a pain, but I can't see any other way around it unless you have MS Word. Yes, I did get the payment, thank you! xx

    Thank you. I do have word, but it still strange.
reply by Sandra Stoner-Mitchell on 05-Mar-2022
    Oh, that's weird. I've just copied mine over from Word and it's fine. Try playing around with the settings on Word. There are lots of different ones.

A great chapter, and I always enjoy the read. I didn't find any errors. If I had a six, it would be yours, but as usual I don't. Have a great weekend. Until next time. Shirley

Another very interesting chapter in your story. I am not an expert in English grammar but there is one place I noticed that didn't sound right.
"The two we've lost is too many". Should it be "are too many"? Maybe either one is okay.

    I am betting you're right. Did you read this before I had the money attached. I sure hope not. Thank you.
reply by Anne Johnston on 05-Mar-2022
    No, but I did read it before you changed the font, it is much easier to read now.
