Hello Barbara.Wilkey,
Nice piece in continuation having lucid phraseology, captivating flow throughout from the beginning to the end taking the story forward in an interesting way.
some paragraphs towards the end showing Mac and Logan are particularly noteworthy.
Interesting In deed!

The "silent partner" being a police officer adds more depth to this storyline and reflects on some current issues as well.

Perhaps make "switch people" switch places?

The tattoo will help identify the bad guy.

Her "grandpa" flashback must have spooked her good.

So, her parents had to work late, and her mother walked in on her grandpa molesting her and stabbed him? Is that correct?

Technically, no issues noted. Draws reader in and holds their attention throughout.

One to be followed.

Very well written. McKenzie's fear and her story are all believable and her need for Logan is endearing. I can't find anything wrong with this chapter. Looking forward to the next.

This was an interesting read. :)

A few things to consider...
Logan glanced at his hand holding McKenzie's. >> Logan glanced at his hand, holding McKenzie's.
"Probably not one of my wisest decisions, was it?" >> This appears to be a rhetorical question, so no question mark is needed. It's treated as a statement.
I don't remember where Mac said she fought off three and expected to fight off four men. Even for a man with training, that's a bit much.It sounds a bit pretentious. I've had to give my heroes some flaws to make them more human. Now, please take that with the knowledge that I haven't read a chapter til now, and this may have been explained earlier. (She had MMA training, she's a bad-ass, etc.) Just a thought from a new-comer. :)
I like the name the reviewer suggested. I'd pick the book up and read the back based on that.
Blessings and keep writing!
Deb

    McKenzie knows how to handle herself and is more than capable of taking on three men, but not four. This was brought up repeatedly in the first 479 pages of the book. I can't repeat it over and over again or the novel would never finish. I know being new to the story puts you at a disadvantage. Thank you for dropping in.

A most exciting episode indeed, Mac' confession says a lot about her, and she's been through a ghastly experience, I wonder who wore the tattoo, it could be vital in exposing the malevolent characters in this episode, beautifully written Barbara, a great episode my friend, blessings, Roy

Hello Barb,
Any one that has read your new novel, will agree that your way of explaining what is taking place is excellent.
This chapter has brought out several things we didn't know about McKenzie to me made this chapter very interesting.

Excellent chapter. Felt all the drama and emotion. Still great storytelling. Suggestion in following...If she [was](had been) a long time drinker, definitely.

"Trey, I('ll) put you on

both you and Ulls did one of these this morning my time Monday. if you want me to[o]."

"When I was fourteen, I was awaken(ed) by him

"Missing pieces" looks good.

The is so interesting. Now, we find out a little about Mac's background. Was the her biological grandfather who molested her and her mother stabbed? It seems she is going to fine. I'm looking forward to reading more.

Hi Barbara, the story and the writing is getting better and better. She's in a bad shape and no wonder, as we are starting to learn a few truths about her past and what has just happened to her. Logan does love her a lot. Doesn't he?
I'm still thinking about a title. Ulla:)))

    Yes, Logan does love her a lot, but there will a twist with that too. Thank you for the kind review.
