I loved the story. Your style of writing is similar to mine. I thought your plot was intriguing, and I am curious now about what happens with Steele, and Jason. Your characters are engaging. I want to read your next chapter. I always think a bit of a love story in a novel makes the characters come alive, and you did this perfectly. I also prefer to stories in real life settings, though I want to be more open to different genres. A lot depends on how well it is written. You did a great job with this. I would love to get your opinion on my newest novel, The Fading Light of Darkness.

Excellent First Chapter. You got the emotions just right. I like the idea of playing phone games.

So, now what's she going to do when she meets Pierce and he looks nothing like Steele?

The tension should be off the charts.

I can't wait to read chapter two.

Hey, can I include this in Thorny Thursday Romance newsletter?

That was a very enjoyable first chapter, and it sets things up nicely. I liked the little details about the sugar on the grapefruit, and stopping to do the recycling, and it was a fun idea to have them go through the early stages of the dating game by literally playing a game... 😎

TJ, whether it's a women's romantic novel or not I read Chapter 1. I've always been such a rebel and risk taker, you know. Anyway, it was a great start and I'll secretly be reading Chapter 2, haha. Great job. - Jim
