Hello, Barbara. I enjoyed reading this submission for Tantalizing Eyes. It is well written. I especially enjoyed the natural flow of the dialogue in this chapter. It truly sounded like I was listening in on a private conversation. I not only enjoyed it from an entertaining perspective but from a learning one as well. I hope to write this good of dialogue myself. You should do well with this one...Gideon

I love this story and just can't wait for more and soon the ending. I just had a feeling that something was going to happen. It was going so good and I believed that finally Steven and Lyla were going to get together. Wow, excellent .

Yeah, I don't think Carlos would be too concerned about his men raping her either. I imagine if he did get ahold of her, that she'd mysteriously disappear after the wedding anyway. Great chapter!

    I think you may be right about Carlos making sure Leya disappears. Thank you for your kind review.

Very gripping from first sentence to last...you do a fantastic job of keeping everything moving along and all the characters in place. Great story!

I thought things were going too good and I never thought that the cartel had giving up on Leya. Now, things could get really interesting. I hope they get to her before Carlos does.

Barbara,

Looks like this will be the cartel's last gasp, and you've finally nailed Peggy. Wonder what will happen to Leya.

I enjoyed this read and have one suggestion:

"I wonder if I complained about how uncomfortable that chair is, if they'd do something about it." This sentence is a bit difficult to follow. I'd write something like, "I wonder. If I complained about how uncomfortable that chair is, would they do something about it?"

    I will recheck that sentence. I have played it many times. Some sentences are just like that. Thank you for your kind review and continued support.

Hello, good story, and your use of dialogue engages the reader. It is also realistic and shows the narrative effectively, rather than just telling it through prose alone.

I didn't see any errors, and would recommend your writing to other readers for review, cheers, rebekah

Hey, Barbara, this is a great chapter with just the right touch of drama and questions to help wind up your novel.

brackets [ ] = insert
parentheses ( ) = delete or notes

Suggestion:
He stood, stretched, and checked Leya[,] making certain she was asleep.

(Do you want to say something about whether they could see the license plates here?)
The tapes from outside the hospital showed the men loading Leya into an early 1990's white Ford Explorer. Steven made some phone calls and ordered Task Force helicopters to search for the Explorer.

Kudos,
Renie

    Thank you for your review. I will consider the license plate thing, but I doubt it will make much difference. There's only 14 pages left and they find the truck in the next post.

Hi Barbara,

So now we have Carlos re-entering the fray. THis is starting to get messy, but building nicely to an explosive climax methinks.
