Hello Barbara,
As you can see, I'm way behind on reviewing. I'm only going to review select posts until I can get caught up. Well done on this story gal. I was impressed that Noah had the discipline to keep from acting on his impulses. He's a better man than me. Good job setting the scene and on the dialogue.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

I loved the dialogue in this scene between Sami and Noah, it felt very warm between them as I was reading. I hope you have a great Christmas, Barbara and I hope you have a great new year.

So, Noah and Sami go on a real date, and they still struggle with keeping mostly platonic, but that's the way it should be, in the bible the consummation is the marriage, the betrothal was the ceremony of promise. This is beautifully written, they need to get married, beautifully written, blessings Roy

I saw no problems with your writing and know how those gremlins work. Sami seems determined to make him a meal, so it was wise to let her make the picnic lunch. I am not sure how Sami kept Marc from taking advantage of her, although I am sure Mateo was respectful. She is going to have to marry Noah very soon to put him out of his misery.

This was quite the romantic date filled chapter. So why do I feel like the hammer is about to fall?

Noah and Sammy do make a good couple. The Yin and Yang so to speak.

Fun!
Merry Christmas!

Your story is so romantic. I like the way it's evolving. Sami and Noah seem very close, I can tell how close they are and how much they want to make love but want to wait till they are married.

Well done, another wonderful chapter.

Happy Christmas day!

As many of your posts have done in the past, and I'm sure will do again in the future, you've made me hungry. LOL. Thank you so much for another fine chapter. Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas!

    I bet the next two will probably make you hungry again. Sorry, but I try to make them a realistic as possible and much of what we do involves food. Thank you for the kind review.

    Don't be sorry, I'm a food lover and enjoy every minute of it!

Thanks for writing the perfect date. Plainly speaking, sex shouldn't be seen as a trophy or sport. It should be special and always feel special. Too many men still see it as a right, and the responsibilities of having sex none of their affair.Things are upside down. Karen

I'm glad they saw a Sherlock Holmes play. I saw one at a little theater here in Indiana, but it was disappointing. I'll take any Frank Sinatra song, and this is definitely a favorite. Noah wanted to make the evening special. Sami should have accepted that instead of saying she'd be just as happy with pizza. So many times we would order dessert to go and have it at home. Sounds familiar. Things are certainly moving along in the romance department. If I may suggest something. I feel that these chapters are a bit long, especially since it seems that things with the human trafficking group are wrapped up. Maybe you have something unexpected coming up in the remaining chapters, but I just feel the need for more action. Still fine writing. judi

    Thank you for the kind review. Not a problem. You have a right to your opinion. I am wrapping things up and there are only four more posts to go.

    A great story, but I hope you don't mind my suggestion about making cuts when you do your editing. judi

The temperature rises throughout this date between Sami and Noah, and she seems to melt in his arms at the end. He says the right things, makes the right moves, and they seem to celebrate their feelings together. We also see how Noah trusts Jose with Sami, so the friends are folded into this relationship too. As usual the dialogue is very realistic, but I still think you can cut a lot of the small talk about what they are going to eat and whether they want dessert. You do seem on top of the body language though. There's a lot going on beneath the dialogue in this scene. estory

    Thank you for the kind review. When I cut those things, I get accused of rushing the scene.
