IN STILL DARKNESS • July 29th

Resting a hand on her waist, Richart tilted his head and explored those smooth pink lips that had drawn his gaze so often, then drew back before his emotions could take over and make his eyes begin to glow.

“Wow,” Jenna breathed, staring up at him.

“I am so smitten with you,” he admitted softly.

Secret Love by Christine Warner - a sweet, nostalgic romance set in small town America 1955:

Wayne could stare at her all night. The way her face lit up with her lopsided smile, and how her hands strayed to her hair when she grew nervous, entranced him. She didn’t even try to be beautiful—but she was.
How ironic that ten years ago she’d confessed her crush in such a matter-of-fact way, and now he turned into a tangled mass of nerves at the idea of voicing his crush on her.

“Where is the man who wanted to marry me?” Patience asked quietly. “The Gypsy who vowed to protect me from my unspeakable burdens?”

“He refuses to fight a battle he cannot win,” Luca said.

“Then he is not a true champion, nor defender of God, if he expects such an easy victory. The man I know welcomes a challenge. He is a legend.”

I glanced down at my hand and then back up at him and shook my head. My eyes continued to stare into the fathomless depths of his, I felt drawn, transfixed. Stepping forward, the knife dropped from my hand and clattered on the stone step. My fingers touched the roughness of his unshaven jawbone.
“I think I do remember you.”

3 lines from my NA Contemporary romance - Dancing in Circles – Book 1 of the Circles Trilogy.

"Tonya's the school slut," said Jennifer.
Robert's chuckle started with a shake of his shoulders then moved to the crooked grin on his face before it erupted from his mouth. "Figured that out all by myself."

Fantasy/ Paranormal Romance - Son of Dragons Book 2 Legends of Oblivion:

A woman who was not afraid, but used to being feared. It unnerved him, yet excited him. His pulse quickened and his loins tightened at the thought of those eyes filled with passion for him.

From my contemporary romance, A LONG WAY FROM EDEN.

He studied her for a minute, his look enigmatic. She returned his scrutiny, wondering how he'd received the scars. Despite their dangerous appearance, they didn't take away from the attractiveness of the man.

He fidgeted for a few seconds, and then suddenly blurted out, "Your son got my daughter pregnant."

Please check out my Amazon Author Page for more blurbs and excerpts. Thanks!

From LEGALLY UNDEAD:

I wasn’t thinking any of this when I pulled the knife out of the body on the ground. I was thinking something more along the lines of “Oh, bloody hell. Not vampires again.”

"She hoped that he could not read her mind; she would truly die of shame if he had an inkling of how desperately she wished to caress his cheek with the tips of her fingers. And Mother of God, if only this virile man would crush her into his arms and kiss her—perhaps even make love to her! Where were such wild, outrageous thoughts coming from?"

Great snippets everyone!

Susan Macatee said...

Snippet from time travel romance, Thoroughly Modern Amanda.

Slipping out the door, she hurried down the path, hoping her family wouldn’t catch sight of her and inquire as to where she was going. Today was her regular day off from the newspaper office. If they found her missing, they’d likely think she’d gone shopping.

from BAD DREAMS by J.D. Faver

“But officer, honey. Can’t we work something out?”
He gazed down at her, flashing a wide grin complete with dimples. “Well, I might be persuaded to show some leniency. What did you have in mind?”

From AWAKING THE ALPHA by Carolina Valdez

Blaze had had the tattoo so long he'd forgotten it, but he became very aware of the fingers that brushed across it. Smooth and free of calluses, they weren't the fingers of a heavy laborer. The tantalizing sensation of Logan's touch accompanied a rush of pride. "Team Six."

"Wow. Heavy duty stuff."

"Yeah, heavy duty stuff."

"Good Lord, a real live SEAL. Can I touch you?"

He was teasing, of course, but Blaze responded, unable to keep the huskiness out of his voice, "You already have."

And I'd love it if you'd do it again, only somewhere else on my body. It would be nice below the belt, where it matters, he thought..

Logan squinted in the sunlight as he studied the tatt. "Whoever did this is a superb artist and an excellent tattooist. The wings of an eagle, an anchor, a trident and"--he smiled and looked into Blaze's eyes--"a pistol."

Blaze's wolf was dancing so hard in his chest he had to breathe in deep to get any words out. He was beginning to wonder if it wasn't his wolf nature but a problem with his heart anytime he connected with this man. He managed to explain the logo's meaning.

Devil Moon
With a whisk of her hand, she pushed the dusty hat from her head and sailed it into the seat of an empty chair at the table. Rhys had been prepared for a cropped head of straggly hair but was surprised to discover that Teddy Gamble had an abundance of shining tawny locks which had been gathered in a braid and pinned beneath her hat. With some relief he concluded he’d been right to suspect that the woman had at least a tiny element of femininity to her.

Mariner's Cove

The view was awesome and so was Brook's powerful body. She hadn't noticed his muscled arms when they had walked through town, but watching him sail was quite different. She realized she was staring at his chest and she averted her eyes.

Cooking Up A Storm by Ashley Ladd

Their gazes locked for several long moments and the urge to kiss the other man became overwhelming. He leaned forward, then loud clapping and cheering rent the air from below and he remembered they were on public display.

For several seconds he was a statue, his gaze locked on Enrique’s.

The marquesa's Necklace by P.J. MacLayne
I lived for a short time in an apartment that didn’t have enough drawers in the kitchen to allow me to have one for junk. I hated it, and it was one of the primary reasons I moved out. Well, and the fact that the upstairs neighbor’s hobby was clogging.
