This chapter seems like a quiet time, with ice cream, before something bad is about to happen. At least Cord knows she has to come back if she goes to New York because she would never abandon the ladies she is trying to help.

You have a real knack for lighting up this small talk and subtly lacing it with all this emotional innuendo. As Alex and Cord talk about her trip to New York and birthdays past, we see their eyebeams crossing and hands touching, in that intricate emotional romance dance. Nice job with the lively, down to Earth dialogue. Lots of polish on this chapter too. estory

I really enjoyed the flow of this chapter, allowing the romance to develop during the scenes of them travelling home (and the well-handled affectionate teasing), and then the abruptness of everyday reality taking over again when they arrive home.

I didn't see any spag issues, so either you caught them all, or I was enjoying myself too much to notice :-)

You like your lovers to take their time while your characters put pressure on or tease them to do more. I'll be glad when Alexandra and Cord take the brakes off...just like your characters.

You need [to]leave her alone. I mean it."

    Thank you for the catch. I have a really bad habit of leaving those little words out. When I edit, I read as if those words are there. I appreciate the help.

Again that so very intuitive Sampson broke up their romance before it got heavy. What is that ... 5 times? LOL

"Ever since the twenty-fifth birthday, there's been a huge party..." [Shouldn't that be 25th Anniversary?]

I think there's bound to be a showdown between Aly and her ex before she gets back to the Ortiz ranch.

    We'll have to wait and see what happens. I guess you're right about the anniversary. I companies don't have birthdays. HMMMM

Another great chapter. So Alex will leave Cordero to attend a party in New York. Is her old boyfriend going to cause her problems? You did a wonderful job as always. Have a great evening. Shirley

I'm guessing this is a chapter built to reintroduce the reader to the fact Ali actually has a life in New York and the world is still moving while she is away. Good editing and writing.

So Alexandra has left for New York but will be coming back on Reg Saturday, I like that you've taken a breather from the action going, and Alex and Cord are feeling comfortable in each other's company, you're building your characters beautifully Barbara, good writing, well done, blessings Roy

I liked the beginning of this chapter, but then I felt it went off the boil a bit, and turned into padding. I was waiting in vain for Alexanrda to invite Cordero to the party, and felt frustrated you shied away from this. Kate xx

    Ali doesn't invite Cord to New York. Hmmm, what will happen there? Thank you for the kind review.
