Hi Sixies! Hope you're having a great holiday season. Here's another snippet from I Do. . .or Die, where commitment-phobe Shelby tries to figure out her changing feelings for her sexy bodyguard, Ryan, and what to do about it:
I needed a distraction, because I was still rattled by the tender kiss Ryan and I had shared the day before. I preferred passion--it had a beginning, a middle, and if done correctly, a spectacular end.
Love-type emotions were too hard to handle. In my experience, they had a beginning, and an end. There wasn’t usually a middle, and if there was, it was only there to speed you to The End.
So instead of thinking how Ryan’s tenderness had practically made my skeleton dissolve, I planned to resort to my old standby: lust.
Thanks, as always, for stopping by. Hope Santa brings everyone lots of great presents!
Great six! This is on my Kindle, now I just have to actually find the time to read it.

I've been in a relationship like that, totally sucks, but I think she's onto something. Lust can be all kinds of fun. Fab show of character.

Stick with what you know, kid. Hopefully Ryan can break through those barriers she has around her heart. Can't wait to read this one!

Awesome six, Donna! Great emotion and lets us know a lot about her background with just a few words. Well done. :)

Having already read the book and loved it, all I can say is that it's great to revisit and enjoy your heroine. You do such a fabulous job with first person. Will return for another "hit" from I Do ... or Die -- or maybe I'll just pull out my Kindle :-)

OMG she's a great character. She REALLY doesn't expect long-term anything, does she?

LOL! Love her! I've got this story waiting for me on my eReader!
