Hard to get back on board (no pun intended) with this. If you post it as a book, it would be easier to go back and refresh my memory. That said, I get the feeling that something illegal is going on. Sounds as if Anthony has the intuition to ferret it out.

I started out posting it as chapter three, but my 'dongle' internet connection died, so FS turned it into a short story for some reason while I was off line. All sorted now! Alexis xxx

I have a feeling Anthony is right. Michael could be in some trouble. Gambling is only going to get him into deeper financial trouble, but I think it's something more than that. When your gut tells you something is off, it's usually right.

The problem with Anthony is that he's been where Michael is now, and because he survived, he assumes Michael will too. I think he's about to discover his mistake! Alexis xxx

Would Anthony be suspicious? I can't see why, but I'll learn more when you post the next part. Michael and Alisha are daring and taking a chance on getting tossed overboard... LOL!

As you've probably guessed, this is all about to go to sea! The question is, who's going to be in charge? Lol, can you send Brian and his mates to help? Alexis xxx

Something is definitely up with either this couple or Michael. I feel like either Michael isn't trustworthy or either one of them. Too early for me to figure it out yet, but hope there will be more clues in the next chapter.

Yes, you've got it. Michael is about to put a huge spanner in the works! Alexis xxx

Aha! Now, if I could figure out what!

You missed that one. I nearly forgot about this you naughty girl. I hope you can keep the stories coming and hold my interest. Is Michael the one pulling the scam? Makes me wonder. xxx Nancy

I think it's an 'across the pond' thing because we use the 'guys' thing a lot over here, even the rich ones. Yes, Michael is going to get in trouble and use Anthony to try and get out of it. This one is going to be short and sweet! Alexis xxx

I don't like the sound of it, either, there is definitely something going on. I do like Anthony, he really is nice.
This story is so different to the other two, (I am still missing Igor!) it is beginning to sound like a thriller. Definitely a brilliant read. xsx Sandra.

I'll try Skyping you tomorrow. :) xx

Okay, I'm answering reviews back to front, but hopefully you'll get it. Don't worry about the guys at the Bedford - they will be back! Only half an acre to strim before Saturday. Yikes! Alexis xxx

I have enjoyed this piece so far and after reading this chapter, I am ready to continue the read. I feel like I've read a similar story before, but a lot of these
stories on the gambling community use this kind of conflict.
All the best. Bill Stephenson

I would be delighted if you did, Bill. This is going to be a short book (about 10,000 words) but it should have some action! Alexis xxx

I already wrote you a review on this chapter. Apparently, it has been sent out in two different messages, both allowing a review. Maybe, you can keep both of them. Your story is coming along nicely. Great characters and setting. I bet the poker game will be interesting.

Thank you for persevering. Still in France working off my 'dongle' the internet went down while I was posting. Not only did it tell me I couldn't use 'The Game Part One,' when I got back on line, it turned both my attempts into short stories. Thanks to Tom, it's now sorted! Alexis xxx

I'm trying to figure out why this posted twice. I've glanced it over to see if it contains anything new, and as far as I can see, it doesn't.

Interesting and fascinating chapter Alexis! It kept me intrigued from the beginning to the end. I will be watching for more! I'm suspicious of this Michael character. Hmm ... he sounds like someone I wouldn't trust.
Great chapter!

I'm thinking on my feet on this one! Any suggestions? If there's any sexy scenes coming up, I'll be looking for help! Alexis xxx

reply by scongrove on 26-Aug-2015

Yeah, you definitely need some love scenes in this book. If Anthony and Alisha get together, it needs to have some romantic, hot, love making. Just let me know if you need help. I'm your girl! :)
