The plot thickens. It would be hard for the rich kid to get out of this mess. Good character development and story growth.

I am enjoying your story. It is interesting.

Thank you for sharing this.

She's very fortunate not to have been killed! That was certainly a bit of added drama. They need to hurry up and admit that they care for each other. Although I did think it would be simpler if she just went home to her parents for a few days. Lol.

These two--the way they dance around the issue of boyfriend/girlfriend! They are boyfriend and girlfriend in every respect except the physical one--and that only because they haven't kissed yet. They certainly hug and touch each other enough. Oh, you are tantalizing us with this, Barbara. When oh when will that first kiss come? Tell me how many more chapters; the suspense is killing me!

Good writing. Nice, believable dialogue.
Sounds like romance in the offing. What's taking them so long????

That was a good idea to add some excitement to the story. I can see some problems coming from the Marc Elliot family. This overnight duty for Seth could prove interesting.

I love this story. Your dialogues seem very authentic so I feel like I'm watching a show as I read the Chapters. You must have made all great edits. I just noticed something in the description.

Emma' is a car accident.

That's all. I loved the Chapter and look forward to reading on. I wonder if the other person that hurt her put the drunk man up to running her off the road. I read a couple times when there is so much detail so I will reread later today. Best wishes as always!

It seems like Marc Elliot is truly troubled, not only was he drunk, driving erratically, but hit Emmy's car, and failed to stop, but will he get away with it because of his father? Perplexing problem, she has to be under supervision, well done, blessings Roy

Couple of points from my vantage:
1) If my wife and I were Emma's parents, there's no way in hell my wife would've stayed at church and not go to the accident. Since they are so protective of Emma. How about you?
2) How'd that happen? He shook his head and muttered, "Stupid question. It's Emma."

Is this girl a walking-waking disaster? She's had too many incidents in 16 days.
I don't know, but is this typical for romance novels?

Otherwise a good chapter that keeps the story moving forward.

Cheers,
John

    In some romance genre, yes. I have thought about Emma's parents, that's why her dad went with Seth instead of him going by himself. Maybe I should have just let him go by himself and not tell her dad. Thank you for the kind review.

Well, well, I sure hope Marc our troubled teen gets what's coming to him. He needs tough love not a good lawyer. Every time I hear about an accident caused by a drunk driver, I cringe. One of the most self centered thing a person can do. This was good. Very good. Gretchen

Great characterization and story development, as usual. I am concerned you're making Emma the victim of too many accidents. All the more reason for Seth to come to her rescue yet again. If she had a younger boyfriend, he wouldn't be so eager to play the hero coming to her rescue and treat her more as an equal. Her parents should have been the ones to take care of her after she was released from the hospital. It didn't have to be Seth. Yes, Carl needed to be the one to take Emma's deposition about the accident. Seth is not helping himself professionally by the way he's giving so much time and attention to Emma. I believe you should focus on the stalker. That's what should be raising concerns. I know conflict between the hero and heroine is necessary in romance fiction, but for me, you have too many incidents in which Emma has to be rescued. I hope you don't mind these comments. I don't want to see Emma weakened as a character by her dependence of Seth as her rescuer. judi

    This is the last time she's a victim of Marc Elliot. The stalker is up next, but they really have nothing on him, yet. Thank you for the kind review.
