Nice story. I think your dialog is very natural. I had some trouble believing in Joe as he told Cassie about his helicopters, etc., but I think it's just that I haven't read the previous chapters. If you haven't gotten similar feedback from someone else, it's probably fine.
Keep writing!

Joe works for an elite part of the government. That has been explained in the first chapter. Thank you for your kind review.

Glad you're back posting! I thought Joe's reaction to Marc may have been a little too strong, but I liked how he jumped quickly to Cassie's aid. I'm glad Joe and Sara will have some alone time coming up :)

Comment from Sarah_Goldwell
They still never done the deed, lol. They've got to now, though. With the house all to themselves and Joe going back tomorrow ... ;-)) I love the relationship between Joe and Cassie. It's good that he really cares about her and doesn't just want Sarah for himself. I noticed one tiny nit you may want to have a look at.
[Sara would help clean up the bake sale area.] - You may want to consider an alternative here as you used the words 'bake sale' earlier in the sentence.
Apart from that, it was another smooth well written chapter. I don't know what they're going to do when Joe leaves. 500 miles is a long way. x

Comment from lola29
Okay, it's a definite fact--I'm in love with Joe. I'm so happy for Sara and Cassie, especially Cassie because she needs someone to help her fend off the bully's harassment.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this chapter.

Hello Girlfriend. The bond here is cementing well and soon we'll have Joe home all the time. What if he wants Sara to leave and join him at taskforce. Then her dad will be on his own. I love the interaction and emotions in this little group. You have developed this well.
A few gremlins for you to study.
He walked to the teenage (mail)[male].
"I thought we'd come to an understanding we could both agree(d) with."
and searched the inside [of] the refrigerator.
Take care. luv jada

I have made the corrections. The more fatigued I get the more mistakes I make. I am about ready to quite writing until I am healthy again. Thank you for your kind review.

Glad to help, sweetness. And don't quit unless you really can't make it. Those tiny typo's are nothing to worry about in this great story. I find if I leave one novel too long then I lose touch. It's hard to catch the thread again. Take care, love and stay well. much luv jada

Thank you for your continued support. You're a good friend.
Comment from Robin Moynihan
What a delightful story, and I only got a small taste! There were a couple of little'oops' I found:
#1He walked to the teenage 'mail' #2'the inside the refrigerator.' And I didn't understand the following:
"I'm sure he will." He stopped and removed his business card. Again, I'm coming to the aide of another pretty female. He stared at his right hand and wiggled his little finger. How do they do it?
Tears entered her eyes and Joe dried them. "No, not tears. Not you too. I'm sunk." Loved this line, and the whole kissing scene was so cute. The characters are very real and enjoyable. Looks like you've got a winner here!

Sara and Cassie have Joe wrapped around there little finger, it was brought out earlier and is a continued theme in the story. I must have been making the corrections while you were reviewing. Thank you for your review.

As always this story is moving along with excellence. I can feel the fear of the children about allowing themselves to trust their mothers lover. Your characters are very well defined. I wish you well and I send you healing. God Bless. Roberta
