Very nicely written with good character development. It was interesting to watch a relationship develop between Cord and Ali. The dog was a nice touch, too. Good luck in the contest.
I don't know if it was purposeful, but there's a bit of head-hopping at the end of the first scene.

This is a great start to a new love story, Barbara. I commend you for starting a new one when you're still working on the other one. You probably write a lot further ahead than I do, lol. I look forward to reading more.

    This novel is completed. I'm about a third of the way done with another one. Thank you for the kind review.

    You're welcome, Barbara. You obviously have more energy and/or quiet time than I do. :)

Another very promising start to romance and broken hearts. Of course, it's obvious that the two will make sparks fly, but Cord may be a problem...his kind usually are. And Samson has already stolen my heart.

Nice job and best of luck.
Hugs, Carol

This is very different from the other novel but I'm sure I will enjoy it. With handsome Spanish cowboy, how could not be a winner? The lady sounds lovely.

I like your first chapter of your new book. With someone who was initially mistaken for a man because of her name. So already I think Cordero is definitely attracted to her, she, who has been betrayed by another man, you've got a a four legged companion in Samson the Newfoundland dog, beautifully written Barbara, well done, great write, blessings Roy

    You know I have to have dog in a story. Once in a while they even take the leading roll. Thank you for the kind review. I will take care of he typo.

    I love dogs, they are important to the story, they are good companions.
reply by the author on 08-Jan-2022
    I think they also help break the tension or can increase it too.

This sounds like a great new novel, Barbara, and I'm looking forward to reading it. I don't like the sound of Alan, her ex, and I hope Cordero will watch out for her. I alredy love Samson! Well done and good luck in the contest, my friend. :)) Sandra xxx

Another great story that I find interesting already. How in the world can you balance two at once? You're a genius. I know already that Cord and Alexandra are going to become an item. Who wouldn't fall for such a guy?

I like this. It is very engaging and the characters seem well developed. I like how you give us little pieces of their thinking. I'd really like to see where this story goes.

She held the towel. "Either should you." - I think this should be neither

You are really talented! For, this is truly a Romantic Fiction.
Nevertheless, you were able to captivate and hold the attention
of your reader. And that takes talent. Keep Writing. And I hope
to see you, when you stop by my spot, to enjoy some of my poetry.
