Today, I'm offering another snippet from my paranormal romance AVAILABLE NOW entitled A Hell Hound's Fire. Best part? It's free! :D Ahem, definitely not excited in the least. ;) In this snippet, Sarah and Alex just finished their kiss (broken up by the pot boiling over). Sarah's trying to regroup. This is in Sarah's POV.
True Mate.
Her Sister self seemed so certain.
She wanted to scoff, but she didn’t want Alex to
think she didn’t believe him. “It’s all right. I’m sure it’s just the ‘poor me’
attitude I was giving you. Isn’t there a line in Under the Tuscan Sun where the bloke says she has to stop crying or
he’d be forced to make love to her? I’m sure it’s just something like that.”
Did she just suggest he’d been thinking of making
love to her? Can you be any more forward
with a man trying to help you? Chewed bones. She felt her face flush and
ran a hand over her hair.
At least she knows what she wants, lol. ;) There are several great authors on the Weekend Writing Warrior list and a few of my favorites are Sarah Ballance, Charmaine Gordon, Goran Zidar, Karla Doyle, and A.S. Fenichel.
If you're interested in A Hell Hound's fire, here is the cover and blurb:
Love can be found in the most unlikely places, even
the heart of a Hell Hound.Alex MacLaren figures he'll never find love again after his mate dies. As one of the rare Hell Hound werewolves, his chances are slim to none. And slim went home. When the local Morukai shaman calls on him to protect a lovely Irish werewolf and her young son from demons, he can't help but take the job.
Sarah Flanagan is desperate to save her son Liam from the deadly monster trailing them, but she's out of options and places to hide. She lost her mate the last time she encountered a demon, and with Liam depending on her, the stakes are far higher this time. After meeting Alex, she's not sure about the Hell Hound, but she’s no fool. He’s their best hope for survival... and hers for another chance at love.
You can also find this on Amazon, but it's not free. If you'd like to help me get them to price match, please go to the Amazon page and click on the like "tell us about a lower price." Just put in the Smashwords URL and hopefully they will get the hint soon.
Thank
you all for stopping by and happy reading! :)
Chewed bones and tight pants.
ReplyDeleteI love this story! :D
OOh sounds hot! I think Alex is gonna be a fantasy lover of mine ...
ReplyDeleteYou are such a trooper to visit me the past few weeks even when I haven't been able to make the rounds. I'm downloading your book right now and will submit the link to Amazon. I hope you get to the top of the lists. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a little confused what "chewed bones" means. Is it a reference to an earlier part?
It's like when we say "Crap!" or "Bloody hell" It's particular to my werewolves. :)
DeleteLOL. I think her mouth got ahead of her there. Love this!
ReplyDeleteLol. She's flustered but seems she's not so far off the mark ;)
ReplyDeleteI remember that line. Too funny. I bet his jeans are too tight.
ReplyDeleteI REALLY enjoy these two characters. Excellent excerpt yet again!
ReplyDeleteSuch a unique story and lovable characters
ReplyDeleteLoved her inner dialogue. Tweeted.
ReplyDeleteSomething tells me his jeans HAVE become too tight! I loved her internal thoughts and her dialogue. Very believable and sweet.
ReplyDeleteLove how her inner conflict is messing with her head. Great job!
ReplyDeleteOh boy, I can't wait to finally read this book in it's entirety! Based on the snippets it's going to be amazing.
ReplyDeleteI want to know more about the Hell Hounds. Trying to get the book from Smashwords, if I can figure how to get it on the Kindle app on my iPad.
ReplyDeleteROFL! As if his jeans had become too tight. Nothing like the suggestion of sex. . . ;-)
ReplyDeleteShe does know what she wants indeed - I like that in a woman. Nice 8!
ReplyDeleteIntriguing. Love the "chewed bones" remark. Obviously fits werewolves. Great bit.
ReplyDeleteThat was definitely a bold yet indirect statement. Congrats on the release!!
ReplyDeleteHa, I love how her inner monologue is freaking out! Great snippet, Siobhan!
ReplyDelete"I’m sure it’s just something like that"
ReplyDeleteLike that line.
Could be misinterpreted as a throw away remark, but then, in a book, there's seldom room for such frivolity.
Will be interesting to see how it comes back into play.
Well done!
Foot in mouth indeed... I believe she may just have made things even more awkward as if that was possible.
ReplyDeleteGreat snippet. I LOVE the last line!
ReplyDeleteIntriguing. Nice touch with the "chewed bones"
ReplyDeleteMy mouth gets me in trouble like that sometimes too, so this really makes me identify with her. Love his jeans dilemma. Great snippet!

Your details are always wonderful, and this is no different with him shifting his stance. Those are the things that pull me in and you always have 'em.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Wonderful, Siobhan. Your writing flows so smoothly. I really liked this: "Can you be any more forward with a man trying to help you? Chewed bones." Nice!
ReplyDeleteVery good and I like how you worked in the book reference into the story, in the OOPS! I said to much off the top of the head thing. Very realistic.
