Okay! I think this is about to get intense. Looks like we are hitting the 'meat and potatoes' with a plan formulating.

I like the new character. He seems like a likable fellow. Wish I could give a 7! Ha!

    Mateo is likeable, but Noah will have to come to that conclusion. He sees him as a threat to his relationship with Sami. Thank you dropping and leaving this kind review. No PLEASE get to work and save Greg, Jenny, and yes, Jesse too. Jenny will be heartbroken if anything happens to her brother.

This is going to be a major shift in the dynamic of the book. I'll be interested to see Noah's reaction. It looks as though things are about to hot up after all this time in protective custody.
The dialogue, as usual, is strong, but I wondered if the constant repetition of 'Mi Amor' might be slightly overdone.
A good chapter that keeps your readers hooked.

    I have wondered that, but I Mateo has told me that's how he thinks, the good part is they won't be together often enough to hear it again. LOL Thank you for the kind review.

I truly enjoyed that. It felt as if I was in the room listening and observing along with the rest of the crowd. Thank you for sharing. Truly a nice read to me.

"God's gift to women" portrays Mateo as just another self-serving egomaniac.

Some questions this chapter proposes are which side is Mateo really on, Sami's? Perhaps Chen's? And, how is Noah going to react to Mateo's coming on to Sami?

    Noah remains professional at least until he gets back to the safe house. Thank you for the kind review.

Hello Barbara,
Oh boy, I can see some jealousy issues brewing. It would be so hard to find yourself in a situation like that. I hope Noah can continue to keep his professional stance and not be too influenced by the actions of Mateo. Well done gal. Thanks for sharing.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

You have set us up for some exciting posts to come, Barb. It will be interesting to see how Noah and Mateo get along. I'm sure there will be some drama.

This, as usual, was a very dramatic, exciting read. I can't want to see how this unfolds.One little tint spag right at the end of the comment at the base. "....I truly want you to[o]." Thank you.

Well done!

Man! I've got a lot of catching up to do! I enjoyed it, even as far behind as I am now.

A couple of things, if I may...
~ still in the states? >> I think 'states' would be capped since it's being used as a name.
~ The conversation between Sami and Mato seems very abrupt. At the end, perhaps have her thank him or him, hope she's okay. I think that might make it feel a bit more fluid.
~ As they climb into the SUV, Sami might say, "We still need to talk" to emphasize that Noah blew her off earlier. It caught me off guard at first and I wondered if she had more to tell him. Or that could be just me! lol

Again, I enjoyed! I didn't catch any errors in the Spanish portions but am a bit rusty, myself. I went to two worship services while on mission trip - one in Arabic (where I wasn't even sure which word was 'Jesus') and one in Spanish. I understood quite a bit more of it than I expected but realized my Spanish is now TERRIBLE! lol

Thanks for sharing this intriguing story!
Blessings and hugs,
Deb

    I appreciate the help. Thank you for the detailed review. It doesn't take long for our Spanish to get rusty when we don't speak it.
