Hello, glad to see you up and writing. More than what I'm doing. I've lost interest.
This was a lovely chapter. I just love how Joe is charming her. Sara's internal dialogue keeps us right up to date with everything she's feeling.
Well done. luv jada

Hi barbara,

Joe is certainly a gentleman, a sharp contrast to the scumbag that ruined Sara's reputation. This is a good chapter and evidently leading into some 'setback' for Sara once Joe leaves.

Interesting blend of the dialogue and the thoughts running through her mind at the same time.

Patrick

I like that Joe shouted what he was doing to the entire town or anyone who would listen. I should have mentioned that in the last chapter. I really like both the characters. Good job and Sara's emotions here. They do come through. I look forward to the next chapter.

Barbara - you are such a romantic! Joe took Sara parking! He's also a forward thinker. I've never made out in a Porsche, but I've got to believe a blanket's better. You've done your usual outstanding job of balancing dialog and narrative and your editing appears flawless. I was sure glad to see your post - hope that means you're regaining your strength. LOL Bill

Another solid chapter, but I am not surprised. Your writing has been consistent in its style for as long as I've been reading it. Very impressive book.

A wonderful chapter. The flow makes it feel as if we're sitting along side of them. As always I could not find any errors. I'm sure glad that you're feeling better. Watch those limitations, we don't want you getting worse. My prayers are with you as so many have already told you/

Barbara,
I just signed on to cringe at 20PM's and when I saw your name I had to read. Your latest chapter of 'Another Pretty Face' is very well written and a complete to read. The romance is heating up between Joe and Sara. Here are some paragraphs that stood out:

When the kiss ended, Sara's eyes remained closed and she placed her right hand across her stomach. I hope Joe never discovers how that kiss affected me.

"At least it's the middle of the night. Most townspeople are asleep." Sara released a deep breath. I can't believe he did that.

Sara watched the rows of streetlights, until Joe turned left away from the town lights. I wonder what he has planned. He's been a perfect gentlemen. Will that change?


She glanced toward the boat. "It's late for river activity. I guess they're running behind." After smoothing out a wrinkle in the blanket, Sara added, "This is a major make-out place. You said you were well behaved in high school.

"I know, but I thought it might help you understand my motives." He took his billfold from his back pocket and opened it to a photograph. "I'm sure you recognize my parents." After passing those photos, he stopped. "This is Matt." He pointed to each picture as he spoke. "His wife, Dani. Drew, their three year old and Emily, their infant daughter.

"The stars are beautiful." She stared up at the night sky. "They look so close I could almost reach up and touch them." A loud sigh, escaped her lips. "I'm not sure being a victim is any better than being a slut." She glanced at him. "I guess it doesn't make any difference. The outcome's the same." I screwed up my entire life.

She leaned her head on his shoulder. "True, and you're a very wonderful man." I feel so comfortable with you, but I'd better be careful. I've already proven I don't make good decisions where men are concerned. I can't afford another mistake.

"Come here." He pulled her closer to him and kissed her. "I'm not goinog to break you heart. I told you I'm planning on seeing you until you give me walking papers.

You have an error in the last line goinog is going. Your story is fabulous. I hope your doing fine, my friend. I'm baffled by Joe because he seems too good to be true. . .Melissa!

    Thank you Missy, for catching that error. I changed it at the last minute, then missed the extra 'o'. It's always a pleasure hearing from you.

Wonderful chapter, Barbara. I checked your reviews and nearly all of them have commented on your two typos. It's time to fix them :-) So I won't point them out again. I'm so glad Joe is a real gentleman. I get so tired of the pre marital bed hopping. I didn't even need to hold my breath, ready to click out of your story. I'm glad. pat

    Thank you. The typos came in after I went to bed, but are taken care of now. No one caught them before I went to bed. Thank you for your kind review.
