Interesting chapter. Beautiful picture. Does Peggy come into the story in another
chapter ? The chapter was easy to read and very descriptive. Characters well
explained, but for Peggy. Enjoyable chapter and I will watch for more.

Good work. Frankeddy

    Peggy will be out on bail and return to cause trouble very soon. Thank you for your review.

No problem with the length; I didn't even notice. In fact, no problems at all. Not one nit did I spot.

I can't believe her family has held off for so long?

    They will be back in full force before long. They are waiting for a mistake.

Chapter 10 gives us a new view and some 'tantalizing' scenes. I felt a need to learn more detail.

Did she close the door to be rude and did Ralph say this from behind the door? "Your eyes did."

Where is the 'there' indoors or outdoors in: 'There she saw an Olympic size pool.' ? What sounds to we hear from the pool if she is right next to it? Or is she looking at the monitor and the pool is outside?

'Bob gently dunked her' How does one 'gently' dunk someone? I suggest he just splash her.

'The security system's broken' Should say if this is more than just Ralph leaving his post.

Good story, Barbara.

    In a previous chapter when I described the house the pool area was also described. Ralph did not leave his post, but he was not notified by the computer monitors that someone had entered. Thank you for the review.

Barbara,

It's sure heating up now isn't it? Everyone seems to know that they are in love, except them...not too bright! Great job!

Things are starting to heat up between Steve and Leyla. Loved this chapter.
One line read a little awkward to me,
maybe they'll help (keep) you from getting bored - just a thought :)

Hi Barbara,

A good chapter with some amusingly touching moments. This team certainy has their hands full, I just hope the broken security system hasn't let someone in with bad intentions.

A nice, fun filled chapter, one to take the reader away from the worry of Lela getting caught, or killed. Has it only been twenty-three days since Steven met Lela, it seems longer. Well written, as expected.

    Yes, it has. I hope seeming longer isn't a bad thing. Thank you for your review.

This is another excellent chapter, I could feel the chemistry oozing between Steven and Leya and those muscles!! where is he i wanna meet him lol.

I thought this bit sounded a little awkward with start and started in the same sentence.

[Start the game. Leya's thirty minutes are running out, and the game hasn't started."]

It's only a minor thing though and the rest was excellent x

Well done. Overall the story was paced well and believable. Some time I felt the prose could use a little work, it clunked in spots. Here's an example.

Jim ran over to dunk Leya. "Did you call me a gringo?"

Leya eluded him, but Bob grabbed her. "I think she called all of us gringos."

Bob gently dunked her.
The short choppy action sentences are very distracting. I think more descriptive complex sentences would help with the flow.

    I think under the circumstances of the fun and banter they were having short sentences would work. During this type of banter people don't speak in complex sentences. Thank you for your review. I appreciate your input.

    Wasn't referring to the dialogue, I agree with you there, more the actions surrounding it. Either way trust your insticts.

Barbara,
Your latest chapter of 'Tantalizing Eyes' is outstanding. I'd give you a six but I game my last one to Jada a few minutes ago for her erotic purple prose III story - my eyes are burning from her Penthouse sex scene. Leya noticed Steven in his swimming trunks. And she distracted all the guys with her one piece bathing suit. Great descriptive writing and wonderful dialogue as always. Steven has a six pack that would make Usher jealous. Leya was also looking at the lump in his suit, naughty woman. I loved the ending with Steven standing over Leya as she slept remembering how she looked during the volleyball game.
Melissa.

    Thank you for the wonderful review. I appreciate your support. I promise Leya and Steven will get together, not in the next post, but in the following one.
