It’s Sunday again. CLICK HERE for the list of participating authors. As always, thank you to everyone who stops by my blog to read and comment on my snippet each week!
This week I’m giving you another little snippet from my upcoming release LOVE AND LATTES, A Meadow Ridge Romance. It is available on 9.10.11 everywhere or for pre-order now from the Silver website. Click HERE if you’d like more info.
This snippet happens right after Chase learns Julia is his new employee! Yikes. Not good for them since they’d like a repeat of their steamy night together…
Chase sat on the bench out front of the store trying to enjoy the warm early spring air, but his thoughts were too clouded for even the heat of the sun to break through. Women hurried past him, shopping bags gripped tightly in their hands as they walked back to their Mercedes, and BMWs, and over-priced SUVs. They wore heels so high he wondered how they didn’t just topple over on the spindly spikes. As the click of their heels faded into the distance, he groaned and rubbed a hand across his forehead. Those were perfect examples of the girls he was tired of dating. Why couldn’t one of them work for him instead of Julia?

I hear him on the high heels. I never have understood the appeal of them. Or maybe it’s my feet that haven’t. 😉
Poor guy. Getting what you think you want is never as much fun as getting what you actually need.

Maybe he doesn’t pay enough to support their shopping lifestyle. 🙂 If she’s so unlike those gals, I think I might dig his Julia.

Poor guy. I love how, instead of ogling the women, he’s comparing them to Julia and finding them lacking 😉 Speaks to his character in my opinion. Great six!

Congrats on the September release! The hero sounds like a a true hero–with too much integrity to take advantage of an employee. Hmm, what’s a guy to do? Great hook into the story!

Very telling, a great six!

Would love to feel sorry for him, but this is for the best. I’m hoping. 😉 I wish the 10th would get here fast.
