Hurrah, Barbara... I believe they are ready to admit they are in a relationship... hush don't use the word love though.... What a struggle to get these two together. Could you refresh my memory about why the PI is always following them?

Smiles, Carol

Congratulations on your retirement, Barbara. Stand by to discover what a truly fulfilling time it can be!
Loved the contrast in this chapter between the hesitantly developing love affair and the ebullient rivalry of the teams in the second half.

So finally Gabriel has admitted he's in love with Katherine, maybe not to her, but to Reggie at least. They are are gong to take it slow, maybe because of the PI. Frost must be disparate. The boys challenge the girls to a race, that will vie certainly interesting. Well done, blessings Roy

Football Chapter 19 part 1
Barb. I like how you have a two parts in this chapter that I believe draw readers to continue and find out of how the challenge goes (running) will go.
How clever you are to take time start a ( real) romance between Gabriel and Katherine.

I love how realistic and believable your dialogue and situations are. I feel like I am actually viewing and listening to a movie or TV show unfold right before my eyes, and I absolutely love it. You are doing a great job here.

Look as if you are bringing this romance to the front burner. When reading the part about the girls' ball games, I had to ask about the Emily Wilkie's who plays for the Florida Gators. Pretty girl and a great ballplayer.

    There are some great female athletes. They just don't get the recognition the boys athletes do. Thank you for the kind review.

I love the running competition being set up between the girls and the male jocks. That should be interesting! It's also good that both Katherine and Gabriel have admitted their mutual attraction. Well written.

One grammatical issue in this sentence: "We've only ran(run) that hill four times and your team has ran(run) it for what, years?" - I know it seems strange, but when preceded by the past tense (have), the verb run remains in the present tense.

Yes! Now the girls must win, and I have no doubt they will. Us females will not be put off a good challange, and one against the boys will definitely be one to win! I knew Gabriel was falling in love, and so is Kathering, you can tell that a mile off. That camera man needs a punch in the nose!! Well done, another great chapter. :)) Sandra xxx
