The attraction is building between Leya and Steven, you can just feel it. There are still a lot of unanswered questions concerning plot but as it is early stages that is who you keep us interested. Keep 'em coming.

This part, to me, is very well written as were the ones before it. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and, as usual, it held my attention all the way through.

Another good chapter Barbara. Character's and dialogue still constant. Only the following typo evident.

Line starting 'As the two men'?

Have a great day.

I found the dialog very easy to read, and the order of events easy to understand, though this was the first chapter I read, I think..

All I saw was a missing period...

"Oh, so you're the woman who returned Matt's baby(.) Thank you for that.

The only other thing I thought as I read this was I could use a little activity between dialog, but that's not a fair assessment, I would need to go back and consider it from the start to be sure if I would feel the same.

This is a very well written set-up chapter. I didn't find anything wrong with it. You are doing a good job of keeping the sparks flying between Leya and Steven.

Barbara

I got lost in this chapter....

Geoff was injected with heroin and beaten. The Task Force doc released him but wanted him out of sight for a few weeks so he'll have time to recover. Joe's informing Matt."

Steven helped Eric assist Geoff Wilson to a vacant bedroom.

After Geoff was comfortable, Eric turned to leave. "I need to get back before I'm missed." He put his hand on Geoff's shoulder. "I promise I'll find out who did this."

Where is this taking place???

I must have missed something somewhere. Straighten me out, girl..

    The scene takes place at the safe house. Remember in the last chapter Steven taking Leya there? He really did. Of course, Geoff didn't get injected with heroin there, but he did arrive in a helicopter. One sentence you copied I see and error. I need to fix it. Thank you.

"Tantalizing Eyes - Chapter 2 Part 5" is a fast paced read with all the strong dialogue in there. Well written and captivating.

Possible spaggie ...
After watching the helicopter disappear(ed) over the horizon, Steven turned -- not needed I think

Hullo Barbara Wilkey ....

Although this is the first chapter of your book that I have read, from the summary at the top, I was able to follow on and found what you have written to be interesting and generally well written.
There is just one small change indicated ...

* You have - After watching the helicopter disappeared over the horizon ... this should be - After watching as the helicopter ...

Now, I hope that I will come across the next chapter when you post it.
With love from ... Nanette Mary.

Another interesting piece of writing. I thought it was lacking a bit in the action department, but as the second half of the chapter that's acceptable.

    Thank you. This is probably the last third or fourth of this chapter.

I liked the idea of Geoff being brought to the house to recover. I think down the line it will make for interesting scenes. But the whole helo scene doesn't flow well. This is what I see...

At the landing pad, he saw Eric step down. "What happened?" -- What are you doing here?" -- Unless he sees Geoff all beat up and broken in the helo.

The Task Force doc released him but wanted him out of sight for a few weeks. Joe's informing Matt. -- Why does the doc want him out of sight?

"Who are you?" Eric stared at Leya, then glanced toward Steven. -- SO Eric sees a beautiful woman and blurts out "Who are you?" -- He's a big tuff macho guy. "Whoa, and who is this lovely lady?"

"I'm Leya Maria Santiago Vegas. Who are you?" -- She's second/third generation Cartel Royalty -- "I am Leya Maria Santiago Vegas and you senor?"

"Eric Hoff. You must be the woman who returned Matt's baby." -- If that who she is then that's what she did. -- "Oh, so you're the woman who returned Matt's baby. Thank you for that, I'm Eric Hoff."
