Thanks to everyone who helped me celebrate the release of I Do. . .or Die this week. It's been a lot of fun. I've got another snippet for you, right after Shelby and Ryan have done their best to stay away from each other, but without much success:
So much for hoping this "leaving each other alone" thing would be easy. I had barely agreed to the hands-off agreement before I had subdued Ryan with a full-body assault, right there in the hospital elevator.
Silly me thought it would relieve some of the tension. Like I was some kind of pressure cooker with a wonky safety valve needing adjustment. Turns out I was more like a teakettle. Get me next to a heat source like Ryan again and I'd be letting off steam that could fill fourteen saunas.
Instead of defusing the sexually charged atmosphere, I had actually made things worse.
Thanks again to everyone for stopping by and saying such nice things about my book! I hope you have a great Six Sentence Sunday.
Congrats on your new release, Donna! Awesome six! :)

Sometimes a full-body assault is just necessary.

I have this on my "Next to Read" list. Every time I flip past the cover on my Fire, I want to stop and download it, LOL! You do steamy so well. ;)

Congrats, Donna, and what a fun snippet! I love the comparison (I love all your comparisons, okay I'm jealous of your ability to create a great comparison).

Poor thing. It's mean to hope her kettle goes off again soon, right? ;) Looking forward to reading this one.

Congrats again on the release! After that six I feel like singing "I'm a little teapot." ;)

I probably shouldn't be laughing but you write such funny dialogue. Great six and congratulations again on the book release.
