Hi all, I'm participating in the Weekend Warriors Snippet Sunday again, but this month, I'll be taking snippets from my 99 cent "spicy" contemporary romance, "Feast of Candles."
Feast of Candles
Contemporary Romance
99 cents
BLURB: Drake is going to take the biggest risk of his life all on a bottle of wine. Can he break the barriers around Lily's heart?
This snippet: Lily and Drake talk while she gives him a tour of her winery.
*****
He gazed at several displays with genuine interest before feathering his
eyes over her seductively. "I am interested in your heritage, but perhaps I
should share a little about mine first."
Her firm expression softened a little. "I have to admit, I don't meet too many men from Denmark."
He slid his hands into his pockets and grinned. "We're an easy people, quite happy in our way of life. Perhaps we're too complacent."
"Why do you say that?"

So he's looking for a little excitement? Americans are good at that. :D Fun snippet, Stephanie.

Wait, no why *does* he say that??? LOL, really enjoying this story - another terrific snippet!
ReplyDeleteAn intriguing admission to make to a woman he's interested in. Wonder where he's going with that? Nice job.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to know the answer to that too. Nice eight.
ReplyDeleteI want to know why, too!
ReplyDeleteComplacent? I have a feeling that won't be a problem for him for long! :)
ReplyDeleteWe all want more explanation of that last comment. Fun.
ReplyDeleteComplacent? Well, if that's him on the cover, he doesn't look THAT complacent. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnd not that most will quibble or even notice, but when you wrote 'Denmark', I found my eyes traveling over to Jimmy and I thought, "Huh? He doesn't look Danish to me." Not that Danes aren't dark, but I was thinking Italian.
Or is he faking it? Okay, now I've just gone and made myself really confused. Sigh. I'll just have to come back next week, lol. :-)
Sometimes blurbs can be too long...but your snippet is just long enough to entice readers...why did he say that???
ReplyDeleteNice job!
I wonder where he's going with this? You have me curious now.

Oh, I love this phrase! "feathering his eyes over her seductively" Gave me goosepimples!
