Your assessment (see how sneaky I was trying to be to get it, rather than just saying how do you like it? LOL) works for me. That's about what I was looking for - - just a hint of the characters' personalities and the adventure set up. I know it seems non-traditional to have her admit to loving him already, but it seemed like one of those things first person POV "told" me to do, if that makes sense. LOL This is a love story, but the loved-lost-loved again kind, with seemingly mismatched hero and heroine. This first chapter is the "happy" time but the heroine feels like she's out of her league to keep up with her adventurer. The second chapter starts three years later in third person in the hero's POV with no return to the heroine's POV for a long time. (The description is in the sidebar for River of Tears.) Thanks a bunch for the feedback! :)Everything of Interest to a Romance Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11325200005671609112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211628671871017310.post-38200756849913956412010-07-23T11:34:28.291-05:002010-07-23T11:34:28.291-05:00Yikes!

I like the opening. I can tell we've got two adventurers here, although one is a little more reluctant (or less experienced?) than the other. I am expecting more of an action/adventure type story rather than a straight romance, since the narrator has already admitted loving this man. :)<br /><br />I definitely want to know what kind of treasure it is, since they're willing to break the rules. :)Donna Cummingshttp://www.allaboutthewriting.comnoreply@blogger.com
