Another almost saucy chapter. I love the respect they all try to give Emma. A lot of gentlemen.

Perhaps these are not errors just a different way of saying things to what we do Down Under? get the wheel barr(ow)[el] too?"

Maybe you say it differently to us? she grabbed the wheel barr(ow)[el].

    Yeah I had hoped we were on the "same page" hehe. Are you connected to Brett West our FS Bro in the Lord? He is about to have surgery on several tumours and needs our prayers.

I know it was a good so many showed up to help and bring food, but it seems some of them has made Seth and Emma feel uncomfortable about playing around with the water hose. I'm enjoying the way you slowly build the relationship in you love stories.

I like the idea of new foods, too, in your story. I never knew that beignets are a New Orleans food. Building a cement dog kennel can be much work. Emma got a shocker that embarrassed her. A shy girl perhaps?

    Emma is very innocent. Her parented protected. All of that will slowly come out. Thank you for the kind review.

Seth and Emma are getting to know each other, in more ways than one. The early throes of awareness in mutual attraction can be difficult to navigate, and all sorts of awkwardness will Mount, before familiarity is established. Beautifully written, blessings Roy

Hello, Barbara,

The story's plot is relatable and well-developed. I love the characters, they are the kind that you miss when the story is over. It has been fun to follow the chapters, this one is too. I am familiar with the gossip that goes on in small towns, I grew up in a place that is natural to do it. I hope Emma and Seth overcome the age difference situation.

You keep reading the reader with Seth's and Emma's romance; like when is it going to happen? If ever? I can understand Seth's POV of 30vs22. But she's not a child! And there's no age barrier if the feeling is real!

We'll just wait and see. Good chapter with a little banter.
John

    Seth will come to realize that Emma is not a child and it will be a shock to him. I am building the romance. Thank you for the kind review.

This is another excellent chapter. You made the water fight seem fun. You moved the relationship along nicely. I do not see any need for improvement. Have a blessed day.

Another small town, ultra conservative, nice, friendly, and helpful slice of life chapter that your FanStory fans will enjoy. I think the structure and editing are strong. I saw nothing that glared out to me.

    Thank you for the kind review. Back in March I did a meet the author night, in a rather small conservative city, 30,000 people. A lady, who purchased one of my books searched me out and called me. She wanted to have lunch with me. I did. She also bought all the rest of my books because she liked that one so much. It's not just my FanStory fans who like my books. Other's do too.

The interaction between these two is believable and entertaining to read. Oh, the gossip one little water fight might cause in such a small town. Poor Emma and Seth. They obviously like each other, but Seth is hesitant due to the age gap. I like that things are progressing at the rate they are. They really haven't known each other too long and still have a lot to discover.

You've captured the old-fashioned "barn building" so prominent in the small town early West, with all the neighbors getting involved in an activity. It's a good touch. Like it.

Seth's eyes darted to Emma's dripping wet face and then crept down. Once they came to her breasts, he turned away. [This is not wrong, Barbara. But if you'll allow my take, I believe I'd have Seth crack just a trace of a grin before looking away. It adds a little edginess to his moral rectitude. Maybe not so important as I read further.]

"I should've known better." [LOL, how telling is that?]

A good chapter with the reader left feeling a palpable tension between Emma and Seth.

    Seth still looks at Emma as a child. When he realizes she's not, it hits him like a brick. Thank you for the kind review.

    Right! That's why the words "I should've known better" struck such a chord in me.
