A very good opening to a novel if you want to take it further. It is written with enough details to encourage me to read more. A story I could get interested into.

You're welcome.
Comment from Fleedleflump
Your opening line is brilliant, as such things need to be; it imparts information about two characters, background, and a little setting. By the end; you've opened up many possibilities, in that this could bea drama, a romance, or a crime thriller depending on the direction you take it. A highly effective opener.

Comment from Readywriter52
This is a good beginning to a novel. The reader is left wonder about what Renee plans to do to get rid of her husband. How much influence does Craig have on her?

Comment from adewpearl
A cheating rat bastard with bad aftershave - she sure has forgiven him for a lot - I love your list.
I love that God is not exactly the one who counseled her to start the revenge affair with the limo driver. LOL This story is filled with wry humor.
Oh, if I read this at the beginning of a novel I guarantee you I would keep reading the book, Bob - this is a gloriously funny, witty opening to a novel. Brooke :-)

Comment from Wild Flower
Awesome job! I'd read it. In fact I'm kind of disappointed that this is it. I want to see what she does to solve her problem with Blair. This was really great. You did good as always Bob.

Comment from amada
I see the suspense building up in here. You have a way to raise the interest in the lives of these characters. Many special and intimate touches, as the desire for Lady Godiva dark chocolates.

Comment from Changeisgood
Bob, Your humour is coming through on this on how the woman is rationalizing her affair (instead of divorcing her husband); yet she SEEMS to be trying to align herself with what God wants, so it's complex. There's a lot of room for self-trickery. If you see enough depth in it (*I do) to make a novel, it would be a good one. There's so many ways to go with it. I would do an outline, a loose outlines. I advize that because I tend to scatter unless I have in mind a particular ending.
Question: Are you going to post more on the foster children story?

Comment from Rain Chapman
I like it Bob, a crappy husband, a woman with a choice to make. An affair, a plan ... hmm, definitely enough hooks to keep my interest if you ever choose to continue this start. Great job and best of luck, Bob!

Hi, Rain..(love the name, Rain) (Lorraine) I really appreciate your input. I was hoping for enough to "hook" the reader...And, by the way, I see you are an avid reader. Good. People don't understand that if you want to be successful at writing, you have to be a reader. It's a must,but some on here don't believe that...LOL...Bob
