With that bra scene, I'm assuming Sami is also a woman who has been sheltered growing up and therefore is a virgin with little to no experience around men.

The cast is still all nice, good people. Odd for government workers/ law enforcement but...

The writing and editing are solid. I would wonder about the pacing and engagement factor of the story, but if you and your fans approve of this style then it is the right one.

    Sami is not a virgin. More will come out later. Plus, earlier I said she spent the weekends with Marc. HMMM!!! The bra scene has nothing to do with innocence or sheltered but with the perceived stringent rules of Noah. Thank you for the kind review.

Noah seems to be going back and forth between trying to stay aloof from Sami, and then trying to get closer to him. He talks about the decorum of his job, and then he ends up hugging her back anyway. Chemistry is hard to ignore. estory

There's a familiarity happening now, but certainly not very much, I love the conversation, and I don't think Novak is much of a conversationalist, and the pair of them are battling their way through a gambit of emotions, beautifully written Barbara, blessings Roy

    Noah struggles with talking, especially about feelings. Thank you for the kind review.

Noah and his intentions are coming to the top of things. Blackberries cobble and Ice cream. Wow! what a treat. Hope you are having a great vacation. Good one, Barb.

Blueberry scones sound delicious. Your characters are so concerned about everyone's feelings. Maybe they should just let things develop. Interesting that Sami now seems to be the one doing the pursuing. Noah has been able to keep things pretty professional so far. This is quite a change for Sami, as she was so rebellious at first. I can't imagine what being in a safe house would be like, but what you're doing with the situation sounds pretty realistic. Great job. You must be having a great time with family. judi

I liked that Noah was human enough to return the hug and admit the he needed it.
I am happy to note that you are with your granddaughters. Enjoy your time wit them!

I fully understand the danger of their getting close can put them in. I believe also that if something should even come close to harming Sami, Noah would no doubt go off the deep end and act out of character which could cause further problems. Being emotionally connected is risky at best. But it makes me happy to know that hey have at last acknowledged their feelings for each other.

Hello Barbara,
this was a good chapter. The little things, like her leaving her bra on the dryer adds a bit of authenticity to the story. It will be interesting to see where this goes with the two of them. It seems like they're still a bit uncomfortable with each other still. Well done gal.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

Sami's challenge seems to be to make Noah break a few rules. The rules make sense, but aren't something Sami, from her big family background, can easily live with.

Hopefully their relationship will be more at ease now after the hugs. Yet they g h ave not known each other for very long so Noah is wise to be both cautious and professional, especially as it seems he has been badly hurt before. Well done.
