Second Chance at Love by Diane Crawford

From the August 22, 2016 issue

Tagline: After years of being on her own, Carol was certain she'd never find romance again--then she met Nick!

Observations: I couldn't find much to talk about with this story. It was a solid story, well-plotted. I felt certain the hero and heroine would be going on many more dates. I liked how the last line tied in with the garden theme...

Carol wasn't a gardening expert, but her intuition told her that growing conditions were perfect for this new relationship!

I like the last line regarding "good growing conditions". It's a great metaphor and brings the story together nicely.

This is a cute, well written story. I enjoyed it.

I have to give Patricia the credit for the last paragraph in my story -- it worked very nicely. Much better than the lines I wrote!

It seems there are editors who choose to "augment" a story with changes that simply reflect their own personal taste. Then we have Patricia who knows how to enhance the material she is editing. I would say she has the magic touch.

Great story, Diane. Great editing, Patricia. I loved it.
