Great Novel
Dear "Stronger Bonds" - Team,
i like to thank You for such a heartwarming, sexy and funny Novel. The Dialog are great to read, with Plot and Story keeping me engaged and "tense" (take that for what you like to imagine ;) ). The scene between Samson and Magnus about the demons of his past is beautiful written, piercing the reader's heart more and more. So does the reconnection between Samson and his Sons. Both Scene still move me to tears even after i read them a few times. Thank you, You are awesome!
While i enjoy reading Samson "hardingning problems" and the jokes around that, Samsons police job moved into the backround. Every now and when Horace and Rhogan mentions the Succes of the police, but how about given some more examples. You already established Samson as strongman, succesful officier and insightful chief who is willing to take on the front line and get his hands dirty:
and now some idea for some payoff to remind the reader how cool Samson is:
a) on the meeting between Samson and the Major and the Rich Guys in chapter 2, one of them thanks Samson for his great work, reducing crime despite the inital spike at the beginning of his arrival. [Or create tension: crimerate is barely dropping despite the Polcie force increased effort] EDIT: WOOPS i forgot that this happend in the first chapter, nevermind.
b) some Officier or Dancer admit to his collgue/friend how thanksful/impressed he is about Samson (and Magnus) dealing with a pack of rampaging drunks or bullies: "... when the bullies refuse to listen to the police warnings, the outnumberd chief rushed the biggest guy and put him down instantly. Just two minutes later all the bullies were in handcuffs or still k.o. from the brawl. That was awsome to watch!"
c) Other Officers or Character comment about the police work: Capturing some criminal, evacuating people who failed their mortage with or without incident. Letting the police officers point out their opinion about their chief and the performance of their force. This way more officers than just horace can highlight their (professional) reliationship between themselves and Samson.
Thanks a lot for reading. Sincerly
