Eeek! December already! Although, I have to admit, this is one December I'm actually looking forward to, since I Do. . .or Die will be releasing in 8 short days.
It's already received a wonderful review, from Lexxie at Risque Reviews, who gave it 4.5 stars, which earns it a Top Pick designation. (Pardon me for a moment while I let loose a few million squees! Okay, I'm back to normal now.)
Anyway, for today's snippet. It's the aftermath of the shooting in Ryan's front yard, and his house is a hotbed of activity, with tons of police checking things out. Shelby is being seen to by a handsome young officer:
“Are you feeling okay, ma’am?”
I grimaced. “I was until you called me ma’am.”
The skin around his eyes crinkled in a way that probably melted lots of female hearts in this town, and I would have been one of them if my heart wasn’t already distracted by another pair of sexy eyes.
“Can I get you some water?”
“Only if it’s got whiskey in it too,” I said.
Thanks for coming by, and for your comments, which are like little mini-reviews that buoy my writing spirits. I'm really looking forward to everyone's Six Sentence Sunday snippets. I got a little behind last week, so I apologize. I'll be doubling up today!
Also, Lord Midnight is one of the books in the running for Sizzling Read of the Year. There are also books by fellow Sixies Karen Bynum and Laura Kaye, so make sure you go vote!
P.S. Stop by tomorrow for a cover reveal of my Strangers on a Train novella from Samhain. There will be fun and prizes!



Loved your 6!! Whiskey in it...hahaha :P Congrats on your upcoming release!! And congrats on being nominated for Read of the Year!! :)
