The natural flare between the characters, and the prompt way of writing the dialogues is awesome technique.i enjoyed the powerful characterization as well.
On the whole, great read

Comment from rama devi
This is a sweet chapter---a deepening intimacy and trust unfolds in a tender, natural manner in spite of the tension in the air with Roy and the 'scene' around them.
Good flow and dialog as always,
A few tiny nits and suggestions-
*
Joe put his arm around Sara's waist. "To start with(,) I'm not slumming."
*
"Joe, he's not worth it," whispered Sara. "I feel like dancing, please?"
Consider: "I feel like dancing. Please?"
*Holding her, he asked, (the comma after HER is not mandatory--I suggest trimming it out)
*
Sunday, after church(,) I was walking to the car, he drove up, rolled down the window and handed me my panties.
this might be best as two sentences-or using a semicolon instead of comma-
Sunday, after church, I was walking to the car; he drove up, rolled down the window and handed me my panties.
Good work...just a few fine tunings needed.
Warmest Wishes,

I enjoyed the previous chapter of this book and I have enjoyed this one too - the story continues to hold my interest, as you uncover more of Sara's past. There is conflict, romance, and drama in this well told story. I look forward to reading the next chapter.

Thank you for your kind review. I appreciate your comment about the bucks. When I was choosing artwork that one seemed perfect for this chapter.
Comment from Monte Carbolic
Another fine, very engrossing chapter. Again, I found myself enjoying your book. I have no criticisms to offer here. This is fine as it stands. Well done.

Comment from jmdg1954
Everything to me still seems to perfect, I don't know what you have planned, but I'll wait. Ithought Joe was going to crack Roy when talked about " her slumming and her reputation"... but the gentleman he is, you did a good job with that. Maybe to lengthen (not the right word) the story, the entrance into the hotels ballroom could have been more detailed... the evening, hotel name or description, what were they wearing, did the eyes turn towards them.. just an opinion to grab the readers attention, especially for those who have not been keeping up with each chapter, does that make sense?
Still, good dialogue between Joe and Sara and nice tender moments...

I desribed Sara's dress in the previous chapter, I hate to bore my readers by repeating that, but I could go into more detail about the dinning room and the ball room. Thank you for your suggestions. I will consider them.

OK, so true love doesn't run smoothly- so long as it comes out all right in the end, it's fine. I liked the confrontation scene where Joe put Roy in his place, and the predictable, (although sweet) choice Sarah made at the end.

Ok. I am in love with this character xD He's everything you would want. He's sweet and caring and protective, but not obsessive.. You're doing a wonderful job. Thanks for sharing!
