Six stars for the exceptional "good" emotions in your story but also for the "push through" effort you have demonstrated throughout your ordeal with your wrist. I am thrilled you have been able to continue writing because Gabriel is a very patient man with Katherine, but we can only expect so much even from a "reformed" saint. LOL Loved it!

Hugs, Carol

Hello Barbara.Wilkey,
Lovely piece of Romance Fiction in continuation having impressive phraseology, captivating flow throughout from the beginning to the end.
Dance episode incorporating 'Gabriel and Katherine Dance' is particularly noteworthy.
The story is gradually moving ahead in a very interesting way.
Picture enhances depth and beauty of the theme.
Flawless!

Smooth flowing chapter. I liked the dancing sessions. I admire the fact that Kate is a conservative person and Gabe respects that.Their love story is beautifully blooming .
Hope and pray your wrist will soon heal.

    Thank you for the kind review. I tend to be old fashioned, plus Katherine needs to set an example for her sons.

I think that even a blind man can see that this couple belongs together. I have no doubt that this family will be a near perfect union. Both adults appear to have the tools to handle the problems that the kids might have.
Of even greater importance, it is absolutely clear that both Gabriel and Katherine love those boys completely.

More than any other story you've written, Barbara (and I've read a bunch of 'em over the last ten years), you have captured more of the warmth of the characters and their wholesome deep caring for each other. than any other book. I think this accounts for your fanship wit your Football novel.

He remembered to ask if it was all right to touch her. [Things must really have changed from the 50s. I never asked a girl if I could touch her. And if I did she would probably have slapped me. As far as slow-dancing is concerned, I always thought touching was a given.]

Your wrist will heal in time. You have spun this story into a good book for anyone to read. Amazing how you have brought these two losers into being winners with each other. The boys are on the sideline cheering everything on. I am not up with modern-day school activities, but you make it sound right.

I am so sorry to hear that typing is still so awkward and painful. You are doing a great job keeping up with your story. It is flowing long smoothly. I think she is doing a great job with her boys. The story is like a peek inside their lives.

-A very good chapter and
image to go with it, barbara.
-I like how you are developing
the relationship between Gabe
and Katherine and her boys.
-She has been through a lot,
and she needs to realize that
she is important, too.
-Gabe is helping her with that
by not pressing any issues.
-I liked how he counted on his
fingers addressing what the problem was.
-The ending section is very good, first
with the banana splits, and then Jeremy
asking about the dance.
-It was a very touching moment with
Katherine and her son, and a romantic
one with Gabe. A win, win!!

It's been quite an ordeal with your wrist. I hope you're seeing improvement. I admire you for writing through it all. A great chapter. We see that Katherine and Gabriel are getting closer. I doubt if Jordan needs to worry too much about the dancing. The kids just seem to do their own thing. Katherine and Gabriel will certainly draw attention if they are seen dancing at the prom. Thirty-six days. That leaves a lot of time until the end of the school year. Anything can happen between now and then. Excellent characterization. judi
