Sorry for my absence in the past weeks.

Another super chapter that explores how Nate has changed. He has become more vindictive towards love or his understanding of love.

    Hey, why did you review this one? My latest post is 1.25

    Because I believe in reading every chapter of a book. As I only missed one, I decided to review it. Member cents don't mean much to me, the review does more.

I have to say I like the drawing for this chapter. This story is coming along well. I do like the title you have come up with. I read this chapter and I found no errors which need to be corrected.

Pretty aggressive soldier there. Clearly he had deep past feelings for Margaret. That dialogue showed tis and the awkwardness he felt. The horses riding over him was very tension building. Good job.

    Thank you writerwish. The horse thing was a nightmare of his previous ordeal in chapter 7.

Hi, Amahra. Another fine chapter here. Your plot moves smoothly for sure. I do have some suggestions if you don't mind:

"The deadly lost of his" (I think you mean "loss" not "lost" in this context.

And: "He lowered his eyes, looked up and half-smiled. (I don't think "half anything works in writing. I think he either smiled or grinned would be better than "half-smiled."

And: "Her lips were inside of his mouth. This was not the school-boy kisses she had experience before. He kissed her ears, her neck, her throat, her chin...taking her top lip into hisrmouth, then the bottom, then both again and again." (I don't think you mean her lips were inside his mouth? How do you do that? LOL...His Tongue....yes. Also, you have his mouth ran together later in the same sentence, amahra.

Good job, overall. Just needs a bit of polish. Bob

ps. I noted that you have stopped reviewing my work....as in the last two chapters of my book. Are you not into the story or have I done something to offend? Bob

It's good to see Nathan is recovering. Oh drat! So close and yet so far. Why, Margaret, why?

Why Nathan! I never knew you had it in you, and Margaret left only the day before!

That was so erotic, and close!

You are an exellent romance writer, amahra, a rare gem.

A new wonderful chapter. Very well written. This is a excellent job of showing the horrors of war and a sensitive man's reaction to it.
I'll be waiting for next chapter, this one is GREAT!

This chapter certainly takes a new direction. He is clearly feeling better physically at least. I would imagine there are a lot of demons to be flushed out after all he has suffered. I thought you did a good job of showing the young nurse's mixed feelings about what was happening. An interesting chapter.

    Thank you so much for reading and for your sincere comments. Most see him as a bad guy, but you get it. Thank you, again.

I like your style and the chapter is very easy to read. My main suggestion would be to double check your dialogue. There are a couple of instances in which you do not take a line break for a change in character dialogue, which makes it confusing to know who is saying what. Otherwise, a pleasure to read.

A great story my friend. This must have been written in times past. Most women don't act like that anymore. Its too bad. I will be looking for the next section of you writing. Thank you

Nathan knows what he wants and grabs it in no uncertain terms. Too bad he didn't do the same to Margaret. That's what happens when you put a woman on a pedestal. Loving is good, deifying, not so much. Good job describing everything.
