Your story is well-written and I do not see any
SPAG's. Your characters are believable. You portray the unpredictability of love and the inability to let it go no matter how much you have been hurt.

    Thank you for reading the story. I hope you will continue all three parts and tell me how you feel about the characters. This is a portion of a book my son and I are writing. Thanks for the review. Except for the ending, these are real people whose lives were terribly messed up.

    Thanks again Carol

Terrific, Carol. Great part one. You've created some great, believable characters, great dialog, and a very interestign, tense situation. Great stuff.

I like the dialogue between the two friends and curiousity is biting at me too much! Gotta move quickly on to next part, dying to know more behind the story of Sandi and Lee!

    This is a part of the novel my son and I wrote About his life and his friends. I wanted to see if the characters in this section played out okay. Carol

Well, Carol, you have hooked me with this interesting well written and well paced first part...I get a good idea of these two drinking buddies via the action depicted and the dialogue and you deftly provide all the back story needed to entice me to read on...What does Sandi want from Lee? I need to know...

Well done.

    This is a portion of a book my son and I are writing about his life and his two friends. Their journey's as young adults and how love affects them and their choices. I wanted to see if people could connect with this one. Lee is a real person, but he didn't really get killed. He has a daughter he adores, but his ex-wife and him are like fire and water. Thanks again CArol

So far so good. Can't wait to read the next one after this review. Interesting twist of suspense with woman disappearing.

You sure built up suspense and intrigue here. Setting just right for all types of trouble. I'll try and catch the other two parts.
I loved your dialogue. Lee comes over as hard-headed - a man spooked by his past.
Well written. regards jada

    Jada They both were two young adults with a lot of problems. In real life, they had a daughter which I hope they will learn to change their ways and show her how life should be. Needless to say, my entire story isn't true. Carol

hi carol, sounds like an interesting drama. i'll try to check the rest.

just to mention this parts:

"Back off ...just a little, okay Christina? The man's my friend and he really isn't in much shape for your attitude this morning." [Lee knew Brad was going to come..] - i think this part has to be in the next para cause the dialogue belongs to brad i guess.

and here too:

"You do what you gotta do, man, but I'd forget about Sandi if I was you." [Lee had spun....]

This feels a bit rushed to me, but perhaps that is what you intended? The story relies on dialogue to introduce the characters, but so far I don't have a picture of them in my mind. Perhaps you will elaborate in the next installment? or maybe it doesn't matter and you're going to let us make up our own minds what they look like? In any case, we are waiting to find out what Sandi's story is and we are already feeling sorry for Rebecca.

Morning, Begin Again. I'm home not feeling well today, so thought I'd just review a bit--and this story really piqued my interest! I was thinking it moved a bit too fast, but I see it's only a three part series. Was assuming it was a book.

Nice way to use dialogue to weave the story and create believable characters. We're getting a pretty rotten picture of Lee, but I'm thinking there is more than meets the eye here. Well, now I just have to go find out how it all goes down! Take care,
Heather
