not what I would have expected from Santa Monica. Well Done.
Quite a soft title for a very tough setting and at a time of economic turmoil. There are many historical commentaries covering the Depression era and WWI, if you want to dig into the subjects in depth. An excellent start. Many thanks for your continued efforts.
A great start and with your soft feminine writing style, we can expect a very erotic and fun series. Thanks.
Great Story, I certainly hope that you continue. Great start to a great book. There is still much to tell.
this beginning very interesting. Very well presented so far. Dialog is great.
Nice opening chapter, I look forward to the next chapter. Thanks for writing.

I havn't wanted another chapter so quickly in a long time..
Please hurry !
I haven't read a story like this before. very well written. wow. So this is what america was like then uh? it really paints a picture. two thumbs up, and please keep going.
Refreshing a decent male behaving with care. Wherever this series goes too. This opening lead us into a world men seldom arrive by choice. Filling a place that allows us to accept them as a partner one would chose.
Great story line.

Sophia you are gifted writer, I am humble with your ability to draw the reader into your story. Also the research on early Venice is factual. Well done.

I've only read the first chapter yet I'm enthralled with the story. I don't think that I'll be going to sleep tonight. Thank you for your amazing writing, your graphic detail, your ability to make me feel as if I'm in the story. Keep writing and I hope that you get published.
WOW! I mean WOW! I realize it will take me some time... but I can't wait to read the rest of this series! It's... it's... AMAZING! Very well written. Now I want to know more about this man... his loss... and how this amazing woman will heal his broken heart.
This is a lovely story but;
"four bedrooms up here, each has its own bathroom"
A bathroom per bedroom is very nice in a 21st century house, in an early 20th century house even in California it is anachronistic.
So unlikely as to be the only one in all the state if it did.
A rare house would have two bathrooms.
Only a few years before outhouses were common.
Great storytelling about a bad time in our country. Looking forward to Ch 2
I think I'm going to like this story. I found it while looking for other romance stories and decided to take a chance. I like the characters already and you are doing a good job on developing them. I know this story was written many years ago, but quality never gets old. I will continue reading and thanks for your time and imagination.
