Ohhh, I just cannot decide if I like Leya or not. First I don't then I do. Hmmm. I see she is not playing fair. lol. Well, you did a fine job of showing how a woman can make a man forget his name. lol...that bra and thong has worked wonders. OH, man, I have a feeling these two will create a bed of flames.
Leya did seem shook up about the poor guy with the heroin forced into his system. Maybe she can be trusted after all. See? There I go again!
Good writing in this chapter, I didn't see any spag at all.

Hi, Barbara. As you were so kind to review my 2 center, I thought I'd pop by even though you know I rarely review prose.

I'm impressed with the way you use so many 'action speech tags' to create extra vision.

I found it well written and interesting (also not too long which is a bonus for me, LOL).

My one suggestion would be to find an alternate word for 'butt' - you also repeat it!. It's a word which would be used in dialogue, but I don't think it suitable for narration (unless a subject is narrating it.

Mind you, I'm sure no expert, and you show real talent, IMHO.

Best wishes, ray xx

    I am so happy you reviewed one of my post and I will correct my use of butt. I try not to make my posts very long, so more people will read them. I am a little shocked a manly man would review a romance novel. Did you really make it to the end?????
reply by Domino on 03-Sep-2009
    It's not my choice of style, Barbara; I just wanted to review you for a change. I think I told you that I'm not a reader and have only read max 6 books in my life. I can't remember the titles either. xx

    Thank you for gracing me with your time and energy. I appreciate it.

    Hey, Barbara.

    There's no 'grace' about me. I have loadsa time and not much energy.

    You're a friend and it's a pleasure.

    I see grace. So don't argue with me. You'll lose. I'm a female.

Well, she can't have him. LOL He's mind!

Wowsie, things are getting hot. lol
Nice imagery in this steamy chapter!
I can't wait till Steven takes HIS clothes off.

Suggestions:
The reasons Steven counted (why he didn't trust Leya) should be italicized - internal thoughts. ;)
He needed to put an end to this seduction (change 'this' to 'her' to eliminate the passive voice)
before he thought, <--The italicized words already show that it is his thoughts, so this is repetitive.

Hurry up and get Steven out of those clothes, Barbara!

    It will be awhile before Steven gives up his clothes, but will come.

Your chapter is well-written as usual without an SPAG's. You painted a powerful picture with your words. I could visualize the seduction scene. I look forward to see what happens next.

A well written chapter. Leyla's seduction was sexy without being vulgar. Still can't figure out that she is after, Lol. Each chapter gets more interesting.

Wow another interesting chapter. I really just can't get a handle on Leya; one chapter I think I like her and then suddenly I'm back to not trusting her. The storyline is keeping a good even pace; the chapters are a little short, but that may just be because I'm not used to them being broken down into parts.

    This is where I want my readers to be at this point, this is where Steven is with her, "I think I like her and then suddenly I'm back to not trusting her." I try to keep the chapters short so I get more reviews, so I can get a good selection of what my readers like and don't like, so I someday get published. My manuscript chapters run no shorter than 15 pages and no longer than 22 pages. I try to post between 750 and 1200 words, depending where a good cut off is for a hook.

I just spend nine years in a household of women. They loved romance novels. when your a reader, you tend to read what ever is around. Long Good job! story short, I learned to like a good romance. Do you plan to publish this? If so when. Can I get a reserve copy. Because if the previous chapters are this good, I want to buy the book.
