I've been out of town, hope I didn;t miss too much. I hope Jim is going to be okay...he should have been more careful! Although I agree, Soni does seem to be a pretty amazing lady.
Nice job here,
Carol

Another good chapter, my friend. I love the way she took care of the snake. One brave woman, for sure. I didn't find any spags. Looking forward to the next one~Debbie

This work has reached the exceptional level

The focus Jacob and Soni staying out of sight.
The story line development Soni behind a boulder and Jacob in a cave hiding away from the guys after them. Soni wants to see who they are as she recognizes his voice, but doesn't not even to kill a rattlesnake, which she splits in half. But Jacob raised his hat to Soni and they see this.
The dialog is forming a new mental picture of the characters Soni can withdraw from seeing who they are and Jacob forgets to hold still in the cave.
The narration shows Soni throw her knife and split the snake in half and Jacob raise his hat to Soni.
The hook has Jacob not only given himself but Soni's position away?
The emotion felt fear when the rattler started to sound, joy when Jacob realizes how much she means to him and anger that he made such a stupid mistake.
There is suspense throughout the chapter.

Barbara, this is really moving along great. Have a great week. Rita

It's been a pleasure to follow this story.
I didn't think that anyone used the word "scoundrel" anymore.
What year is this set in?
also, I'm not sure what's thinking, talking or texting when he's talking to his mate.

I enjoyed this read. It is refreshing to have a writer NOT write about a couple jumping into bed at first glance. I haven't read the rest of your chapters,( and I will) but I'm sure they follow through with the restraint shown here. This is a positive, well thought out, well rounded story line. I look forward to reading the rest.

    Thank you for your encouraging review. I get gigged sometimes for not doing a traditional romance.

A well written chapter, Barbara ---

On query - take another look at this paragraph - after he shoves phone into his pocket is the rest his thoughts or is it speech? If speech then there inverted commas missing????
ALSO - last part needs a comma adding and a question mark instead of period.

"My cohort, the one who keeps getting me into these messes. Just do your job!" Jim shoved his phone into his pocket. The one who doesn't believe a word I say, and thinks I'm a scoundrel. That one. How'd that photo get sent, anyway? Kuruk(,) are you at work, again[.](?)

Superb suspense. Excellent swift pacing and sentence mechanics, etc. Good balance of the two POVs with lots of internal dialog. Good descriptive narrative too.


Just a few suggestions:


* He held up his phone. I wish I could get a better picture.

CONSIDER TRIMMING 'I', so it sounds more akin to internal dialog. we often drop pronouns (especially I) with internal dialog.

Wish I could get a better picture

*Kuruk(,) are you at work, again.(?)

*"The longer they hang around(,) the better chance they have of discovering Soni,"


Busy offline these days--and Internet is slow here in India, too...so may be visiting FS only intermittently.

Warmly, rd
