Nice happy ending, hopefully there is a "happy ever after" to it as well, there should be, its been quite a journey for them. Very well done, the ending is perfect for this story.

You just know how to make me burst out smiling, don't you. I am extremely flattered. This is the second poem I have received this week. You spoil me with kindness my friend. Thank you for enjoying the story and wishing me well. Always a friend, CArol
Comment from Joan E.
What a kind message at the beginning (of the end) to all your readers. And what a perfect message at the conclusion of the story with caroling. I think you use of the brief Spanish phrases added to the story's authenticity, and you communicated everyone's joy well, when she said "All is forgiven" and his present was cruise tickets for a honeymoon!

I am thrilled that you took notice of some of the smaller messages that actually meant a lot more to me than the whole picture. You picked up even on the Caroling...Glad you enjoyed it and I thank you for your comments. Carol

What a perfect ending, although I wonder if they shouldn't have got to know each other again. People change over time, but what the heck. Go for the gold. Great job.

Probably should have waited but those 10,000 word's were chopping away. Thanks for the review. CArol
Comment from lola29
Carol, your story was absolutely wonderful. This chapter is the best because it brought two people together who loved each other for all those many years. You really turned Max into our hero, and I could feel my heart beating when he bought the Christmas tree and the presents.
You've got a winner here.

Do you really think it's a good ending...not too corny? It made me happy, but I wasn't sure about other readers. I'm a smuck for Christmas and mushy endings. Thanks for the review and your kind and thoughtful words. Carol

The contest was about a Christmas theme, therefore, I don't know how you could have made it any better because everyone likes a happy ending.
Comment from jadapenn
Carol, Carol where have I been? Here I parachute into the delicious end of your book. What can I say, I'm a bad girl and should really keep a tab on what you get up to.
This was so emotional. I missed all the stress and strain to get to this good ending.
Beautiful ending, my friend.
But let me go and shake up the game reserve. luv jada

Comment from Belinda
Wow... this is pretty quick ending. Maybe it is just me, hoping to know more about the children victims at the start of this story. Anyway, this is a happy ending...

I wanted to include the investigation and more about the people, but I am only allowed 10,000 words and when I roughed it out, I had to eliminate a lot. I wish we would have had more space. Thanks for following and reading. Carol
-
Oh, is there a limitation? What is your work called? Long short story or novelette, maybe? Who knows one day I will write something like that.

Belinda
It's a novella but the Publishing Company that is sponsering the contest said between 1000 and 10000 words. It makes it difficult, especially with so much happening in this story line. Thanks again Carol
-
What do you mean with sponsoring? Do you or FS get something? Just curious...

Belinda
Yes a publishing contract to the winner...It's under the Romance Contest. Have you not seen it? There is still time...Carol
-
I did, but I soon forgot about it as I did not have any inspirations for a romance.
-
I know you have a bountiful basket of love within you...You just haven't found how you want to express it yet. Hugs, Carol
