You are such fun (when you are not writing sorrowful Japanese poetry). Do not ask me to contribute to this story. Nobody should have to follow you. This chapter is delightful. And, of course, you included your trademark fashion description. Eve is the perfect name for your character. She is mischievous and about to upset the heavenly resort vacation apple cart.
I do love your stuff.

I do love fashion, and you're right: it DOES find its way into so much of my work!! Her name, though, was all Carol (Begin Again)'s doing.
I thank you for this delightful review. We really are in need of some more contributors, though...BUT I'M NOT ASKING, I swear!! xoxo
Comment from Faith Williams
Wow, Rachelle, I can't say I saw where this story was heading. You gave us a picture of Eve we won't be able to forget. And a twist at the end of the chapter as Eve is missing. Not to mention dropping the little tidbit of Max's plastic surgery. Your chapter definitely moved the story to a whole new place. Thank you for taking on this chapter. It's a fun idea.

Thanks, Faith! I very much appreciate your enthusiastic review. You should join the fun! Come write a chapter, too! Life is short; go for the gusto! All you have to do is PM Begin Again, and she will assign you a chapter number. Then, have at it!!

Rachelle,
This is, unsurprisingly, great!
Just as I go to a concert to see The Beatles or Frank Sinatra (and not Freddie and the Dreamers or Jim Neighbors), I have not read any of the previous chapters and, as of yet, none of the ensuing.
You, once again, steal the show!

Oh, you sweet-talkin' reviewer, you. This review just melts me, and I couldn't appreciate it more. Thank you for always being generosity. xoxo
Comment from LJbutterfly
You did a fabulous job creatively moving the adventure forward. I truly enjoyed the video, the surprising table dance by Eva and reading of her recognition of Max. While the dance was going on, I thought someone at the dinner table should end up missing. When I reached your final sentence, I fell out laughing. You did it. You really set it up nicely for the next writer.

Comment from judiverse
Oh, my, this isn't going to be another "And Then There Were None" scenario is it, with all the guests being killed off? You mention that one of the guests, Eve, is missing. I think Charles Asnovar should be there to sing and play the piano. Great description of the characters. I don't know how multiple authors can keep a story together, but I may give it a try. judi

Comment from Cecilia A Heiskary
Rachelle,
This is a great addition to the book. So Eve called out Max and he didn't like it and now she is missing. Imagine that. I wonder what they did to her.
Well done my friend

You could help CREATE what they did to her, Woman!! Get that talented writing muse of yours to join in the fun!! Why not? Life is short! Go for the gusto. You're among friends here!! I double-dog dare ya!! xoxo
Comment from Ulla
Hi Rachelle, this was a fun and great continuation to the story, although it had a somewhat sinister ending. Eve is performing and revealing Max's somewhat shady background and now she's missing. Hmm
Well written. Ulla xcx

....Annnnnd the plot thickens, right? BWAHAHAHAHAH!!!
I liked writing after you set the scene, so thank you for that! And thank you for this really nice review, also. xoxo
Comment from Carol Clark2
Well, we've met Eve Carlson, and she has put on quite a show for the dinner guests. She seems to have changed the atmosphere quite a bit during dessert. I like that you set up the next day's adventure, beginning with the disappearance of Eve Carlson. Great chapter!

Well, would expect anything less from a Vegas showgirl? They're not exactly the shrinking violet type!
Thanks for the fun review, Carol. I liked it very much.
Wouldn't you love to join the fun here? I know you could add to the intrigue and suspense!! Pleeeeeease?
xoxoxo

I don't write suspense, mostly because I usually don't read it, except here on FS. I don't like to be scared out of my wits. LOL. Sorry, dear, but it's not in me.
-
Wahhhh! I'm bummed. But of course I respect your decision. Know our strengths and weaknesses is a crucial life skill after all!! xoxox
-
So sorry to turn you down, but I can't do it. My writing time is quite limited these days, so I need to use it productively; i.e., I have a study guide to finish.

I understand. xoxo
Comment from Lori Mulligan
You certainly livened things up at bit-i love it! I love that you picked up again that there was something between Max and Eve. I like the character twist of Eve. Having Eve go missing really advances the
Plot. I'm now excited again to see where it goes!

This is all your fault because of the "sexy librarian" set-up you bestowed in your chapter.
I'm sure Carol would let you write more than just one chapter! So c'mon back to the pool! The water's great; jump in!!!
Thank you for the really nice review!
xoxoxo

I think I will! I'll see what happens in next chapter! Talk soon, Lori
Comment from lyenochka
Thank you for helping Carol with this big adventure, Rachelle. I liked your description of Eve and our reservations about Max continues as his "ice-cold eyes" remain even while smiling. Now we know Eve's superpower, I'm sure that will come in handy in the future!

It's fun to be part of another multi-author book she's sponsored. She has great opening chapters! Don't you think YOU should join in the fun, too, Helen? You and that wonderful writer's imagination of yours could do wonders for this intriguing tale!!
