I amsurprised that there are old fashioned colleges or school Growing up with strict middle class morality ,I understand and appreciate both Emma's and Seth's reserved nature ...I am enjoying this slow romance

    Yes, there still are a few. You have to literally search for them. LOL Thank you for the kind review.

Emma and Seth keep ending up in situations that bring them together. It seems they are destined to help each other. It also appears that everyone in town is thinking that way. So far, it's been fun to watch them getting to know each other.

Evidently, Seth is worried about Emma, and he does realize she has enemies involved possibly. Emma does come across as a protected child, who loves to be homebound.

Hi Barbara, as you know, I love the story. I'm so busy at the moment, but still trying to keep up as best as I can. I will try to be back next week with another review. All best, Ulla:)))

A very interesting chapter. It does seem strange that they are still not on a first-name basis, as their friendship seems to be developing well. Like how you are keeping the mystery hidden about the car.

    The name issue, I believe is a way of denying their relationship.
    Thank you for the kind review.

I didn't realise, or perhaps had forgotten, that Emma was adopted. There is another set of relationships. From the last chapter, I did find it strange that she would nestle into him while watching a scary movie if they are still not using first names, and he is doing so much for her with the dog porch too. (Perhaps that's just me.) Otherwise, still a great read, very enjoyable.

    Still not on a first name basis, but rarely use Chief Carter, or Ms. Winters, but still do on occasion. Thank you for the kind review.

Your chapters never seem long, they leave me wanting more. Emma is such a sweet innocent but ready to understand others. Seth seems to value her values and can't bear the idea of her being hurt. A match made in heaven, but life always throws some troubles in the way.

Another great read. So detailed and informative. I guess we are gonna find out, soon, about the Crown driver/snooper. Always enjoy your great writing, as you know. No spags.

Her friend walk by, and Ms. Sadie said, [Of course it's already been pointed out so I needn't echo it, LOL.]

"Have I done something wrong?" [Nothing wrong here. I think a dialogue tag, though, would help keep the reader from having to do what I did ... which was wait until the next piece of dialogue and for a contextual cue as to who's talking.]

Many people may not understand Emma's innocents. [Emma's innocence.]

LOL, I gather from your remarks that others feel that Seth and Emma's relationship should have progressed farther. Either that or you might be second-guessing yourself. I think that with the weekly progression of the chapters, or half-chapters, that the characters stay with the reader longer so that what might seem on one level to be several months of their knowing each other, would only be a couple of weeks, in reality. You might want to do like you did with your previous romance story and show how long they have known each other at the beginning of the chapter. Just a thought.

    If I'm not mistaken, they have known each other 10 days, but I will start posting that again. Thank you for the kind review.

This didn't feel like it was 1700 words to me. The interactions and conversation moved pretty quickly. I think this will go over well with the audience. You got that sheltered part in for Emma and had others explain Seth coming out of his shell. Good luck.
