Wow, your recap of the last chapter hooked me immediately. I didn't know what was going on, but must have come in at a good time because I was drawn in. Great chapter, and really good writing. I didn't catch any SPAG issues. Thanks for sharing!

Your novel is coming along nicely. I've been off line for a while and am trying to get back in the swing of things.
As always your chapters are packed full of plot information. You have quite the intrigue going. Well done. Most enjoyable.

Comment from Drew Delaney
floor-lenth - should be floor-length
I found this chapter totally interesting and it is good. I also try to keep my chapters short. It's difficult to know what the readers want to do. Some would like them longer, but other's short. But there is not a whole lot of time for things to happen. Nice job.

Comment from adewpearl
what does this have to do with you? - add question mark
excellent use of dialogue to convey strong emotion and conflict
Extremely strong emotions at play here, and it all seems very unpleasantly real

Hi. The six is for the little details that make this a good read.
was held with a ruby and pearl-studded comb
fanning herself nervously
These give us an idea of the characters without a big fuss. We pick up on the small nuances and then can flseh them out better.
Ah, and the intrigue is just starting...secrets and secrets and scnadal and hearts...just the thing for aa grey afternoon..padumachitta

Comment from Phyllis Stewart
Wonderful ending! Very sweet. :)
Grace should at least hear him out. She must not love him, or she would at least listen to what he has to say. I don't like Grace very much... too stuck on herself, UNFORGIVING. That's not the mark of a good person. It's very selfish. She is depriving her daughter of her father too.. that is the worst crime... far worse than Nate's mistake.

Wow, Phyllis, this is interesting; you're the first person to dislike Grace.But I don't mind, I want my readers to have a reaction to my characters. Great review, Phyllis.
Comment from Carolyn 'Deaton' Stephens
I have read each chapter and am still intrigued by the life of Nathan and Grace. He has really been led down the path by Margaret, but unfortunately not the first married person to fall for 'lust' instead of 'love at home.' You weave your story with 'spice' but not 'filth'. You give the reader enough to paint a realistic scene without being overly graphic. It was touching to see Nate with the baby.. Elizabeth certainly had a tale for Mrs. Wainwright. So Margaret is Dr. Koren's daughter. Interesting turn of events. I hope Grace softens....
Well done, Carolyn

Thank you so much, Carolyn for keeping up with my book. I was ill for a while and had not post for two months. I'd hope no one had forgotten the story. Again, I thank you.

Your dialogue without tags was timely and fit the scene and movement of the plot, the further development of the characters too. I could visualize everything as the conflict with dialogue unraveled.

Thank you, Stan. I'm trying to hurry up and write, post and bring an ending to this story. I don't want fans to get bored with it. I've already started another book, and fantasy, then after that a Christian book. So keep me in your prayers. And thanks for keeping up with the book.
Comment from royowen
Beautifully written and told Amahra, I've managed to get a handle on the main characters in this articulate and expressively told story, the main players are clear and well defined, the plot well structured and designed, the narrative absorbing and readable, well done, I look forward to the outcome of the blackmail of Rose, sad encounter with Nathan's little girl,
( so sad) and the snub by Grace, well done, blessings, Roy.
