Judge’s Commentary:

What did you like best about this book?
A most unusual plot, the idea of a call girl taking on the job of chaperone for two teenage girls. These girls are more than Natalie, the heroine expected. All of the characters are three-dimensional and unusual. The story has many layers and surprises along the way, with a good helping of romance.

Thje dialogue is most-definitely realistic, reveals character and moves the plot along. All the settings, and there are many, are well-described. the ending is a big surprise. Good job. The Chaperone would make a good movie.

How can the author improve this book?
No suggestions, the author did a great job—unique plot, good writing. Hopefully, the promotion plan is also good: booksignings, presentations for libraries, book clubs, service and social groups, and exploit the Internet.
