As you can see, I have a cover for I Do. . .or Die. I love the wedding theme, and the pics of the hero and heroine, and I definitely like the turquoise and hot pink letters. It's a fun cover and I'm completely thrilled.
In last week's snippet, Shelby helped "subdue" an assassin by hitting his prone form with a dried-out evergreen branch. In this next part, Ryan is getting ready to pat the guy down, and he gives Shelby his gun to hold:
Ryan handed the gun to me, butt end first, and I grasped it between my thumb and forefinger. He started to show me the proper way to hold it, but the bad guy on the ground decided to use the opportunity to try to wriggle away.
“Stop, or I’ll blow you to smithereens!”
Both my hands were on the gun now, my arms outstretched toward him, my legs spread out in what I just knew was a sexy Bond girl pose. I was all business right then, and he knew it, since he stopped immediately.
Of course, Ryan had his foot parked on the guy’s back, so that probably made a big difference too.
In addition to the excitement of seeing the cover for the first time, it was exhilarating to view the pre-order links on Amazon and iTunes. But wait, there's more! There's also the very first review, on Goodreads (4.5 stars!). Thanks for letting me share all the good news with you. You sixies are the best!
Oh, one last thing: Summer Lovin' is finally free on Amazon, so if you want a Kindle copy, it's available now.
Have a great Six Sentence Sunday! I'm looking forward to reading all of your snippets this week.
Lovely, lovely cover, Donna!
I really enjoyed this six, it made me smile. Your voice is a joy to read. I'm off to check out this book further and, of course, download Summer lovin'!;)

Yeah, without the foot on the back, she most likely wouldn't have had time to think about the pose.
Nice six!

LOL! Great surprise. What a come-down for the girl who was sure she was "all that", though. Better luck next time, sexy Bond girl wannabe. :)
