I get the feeling that even though Noah is jealous of Mateo, he also respects him because of his devotion to Sami. I liked the addition of the Spanish conversation. It made it more realistic. I really enjoyed this. Gretchen

I love this chapter. It's getting so suspensful and interesting... I want more. I can't wait for the next chapter.

Your Spanish is very good. You used all the right words. The letters with accents do have that weird symbol. Don't worry about it, it's not that important.

BDSM = I would add the translation in your author notes, or just write, 'pornographic videos'.

    Thank you for the kind review. I explained BDSM earlier. It's more than just videos. BDSM is a variety of often erotic practices or roleplaying involving bondage, discipline, dominance and submission, sadomasochism, and other related interpersonal dynamics.

It appears to me that CHEN could be in much more trouble than he could possibly anticipate. With Mateo and his people not bound by legalities, they do not have to observe the niceties that an official police entity may be forced to observe. Resistance by CHEN and his group might not turn out so well, especially given Mateo's fondness for Sami. Oh boy, let's get it on!

I speak Spanish and understood it perfectly. This is a new kettle of fish that Noah has to face. Mateo is still keen on Sami, and seems to be determined to get her. But, now Sami is truly in love, and it isn't with him. I can't wait to read on. Well done, Barbara, Warm hugs, Sandra xx

The action is well crafted in this chapter, but I find the character development is lagging behind a bit, perhaps because you are trying to juggle so many characters here. Noah should have let Sami have her say. That would have helped things and created stronger tension upon the meeting. kay

    Noah was too jealous. I think it will come out in next week's post. The bond will grow. This is all one long chapter. Please be patient. Thank you for the kind review.

I took two years of Spanish at night school. I don't remember much, but your Spanish seems very good. Thanks for another very interesting chapter. I hope there will be a continued dynamic between Mateo and Noah. I'm pretty timid, but I wouldn't stand anyone else being in love with my wife.

I think Noah is doing a slow burn. He is very uncomfortable with knowing
Mateo being in love with Sami. Sami really wanted to talk to him before they went. This should be interesting. I think Mateo will do what they team asks him to do.

You complicate the love situation by introducing this rich Colombian heir into the mix. He seems completely gone on Sami. But I don't quite understand why Noah and his team really need this guy to take down Chen. And why would he cooperate? Wouldn't he be hell bent on taking down Noah? The dialogue was pretty crisp, but there were too many 'mi amors' in there. estory

    Noah needs him to get into the escort services. Mateo will do anything in hopes of marrying Sami. Let's see how it all works out. Thank you for the kind review.

The narrative explores the complexities of Sami's relationships and the stakes involved in their mission to combat human trafficking. The chapter effectively blends suspense with character development, setting the stage for an intense confrontation with the villainous Chen. This mix of action, personal stakes, and moral dilemmas keeps readers engaged, eager to see how the characters navigate their dangerous mission.

Excellent.

I like the way you handled the Spanish dialogue. This adds a lot of excitement to the story, and there's also the complication of Mateo's numerous proposals to Sami. At least she warned Noah ahead of their visit. I thought perhaps Sami was a little too quick to get into the fact she was calling about a problem. She might have taken a bit more time before mentioning that. You might also do a little more to assure us that Mateo can be trusted. It will be interesting how he carries out his part in the scheme. If he finds out Sami is interested in Noah, things could go awry. Great suspense. judi

    Thank you for the kind review. I needed to get to the facts fast, or the word count would be too high, and it would have been just fluff.

    You're very welcome. I think it wouldn't take too many words to have a bit of a lead-in before asking the favor. Maybe something about she knew he was a person she could count on, etc. judi
