This is a great first chapter. You have created interesting characters. The storyline is intriguing and I want to keep reading. I do not see any room for improvement. I do not see any room for improvement. Have a blessed day.

I'm out of sixes, and this story deserves one. It's a great first chapter, and I want to read more of it, as I'm sure your other readers do. I don't understand the evil of human trafficking. How can one human do that to another is beyond me. It's worldwide, and I don't if it can ever be stopped.

Heck, Barbara, this is one great start to your next novel. Or is it only a contest entry followed by a few chapters to get a read on its acceptance from the readers?

Because, I'm all in!

Great start!
Cheers,
John

    It's a novel. I'm hoping to post it every Wednesday until Seth and Emma are finished, and then post it on Sunday's. I'm not sure I can keep up with two a week. This novel is complete and has been for almost a year. Thank you for the support.

    Wow, when do find the time to write all this?

    I'm happiest when I'm writing. So I make the time. I've started another novel and am getting frustrated because I'm struggling finding time to write. LOL

Wow! This is different. This story is somewhat more hard edge than the romantic stories you have previously written. It is different, but I like it very much. It holds a lot of potential promise and excitement mixed in with lots of dangerous drama. I can hardly wait.

    It's still a romance. LOL but with a little stronger suspense element. I am hoping I can pull it off. Thank you for the encouragement.

Well, keep on posting I like the plot, and I am curious to see what is next. Will she find the girls, will they help her? Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

You did a very good job on this first chapter contest. You wrote about something that is really happening in this day and time. You used great descriptive words and great dialogue. Best wishes in the contest. Teri

Well deserving of a six but I'm unable to accommodate you. Your first chapter is filled with tension from start to finish. You'll have every reader sitting on the edge of their seats, praying for Sami's safety as she searches for Myra. Very well done! Good luck in the contest...

Smiles, Carol

    Thank you for the virtual six. I appreciate the support and your review.

    I'm glad I came back in time to catch your story from the beginning. Still wondering about the quiet lawyer and her cowboy... Life got in the way from me finishing it.

    It's with my publisher. It should be published in a few months. Thank you for asking.

Wow, this is not anything I would have ever expected you to write, but you've certainly done it so well. Now, I only wish I had a six so that I could reward it properly. Great chapter! Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you for the virtual six. It's still a romance, but a little more action and mystery. Not sure I can pull it off, but I'll try. I appreciate the kind review.
reply by Ric Myworld on 24-Jan-2024
    I've read your action-filled stories before, so there's no doubt you'll kill it!
reply by Ric Myworld on 24-Jan-2024
    Kill it means like knock it out of the park. A homerun every time. Thought I'd better clarify myself.
reply by the author on 24-Jan-2024
    LOL I understand what you meant. I raised four boys. Their language was a little different than mine, but we understood each other.

This is a very sad story of human trafficking, especially innocent girls for prostitution and it is absolutely appalling. I know this is a fictional story Barbara, but I also know that this does happen and it is rife in the North of England where the Police seem powerless to stop it. A fine first chapter for the contest, I love the authentic sounding dialogue, I wish you luck, love Dolly x
