Happy
Six Sentence Sunday again.
Thank you so much for visiting and taking the
time to read this week's snippet as Six Sentence Sunday winds down. Only one more Sunday. :( I
really appreciate your time and the
comments you leave for me. While my sixes aren't always right after
each other, they are in chronological order. You can find last week's six here.Today, I'm offering a snippet from a new work in progress, a cross-over paranormal romantic suspense with BDSM elements, entitled Second Chance Succubus. Here we meet the second of the two heroes, Nik Wolffe, older twin to Chayse from last week's snippet. Nik and Chayse are both in law enforcement, but Nik is a Private Investigator, while Chayse is a cop.
Nik parked his
Chevy pickup outside of Eve’s Paradise, one of the premier gentleman’s clubs in
Vegas and grimaced. The place was crawling with cops, which didn’t bode well
for his investigation. Personally, more than professionally. Not only was Eve’s
Paradise a legitimate cover for the Underground, a clandestine BDSM club, but
if the cops had arrived, most likely so had his twin brother.
Fuck.
They hadn’t spoken
since Chayse severed their ties over a woman and walked out on his brother.
Nik’s rage had ebbed, but it simmered below the surface, and he didn’t want it
erupting during an investigation.
Oooh, it sounds like Chayse has some explaining to do. ;) There are several great authors on the Six Sentence Sunday list and a few of my favorites are Karla Doyle, Sarah Ballance, Silver James, J. M. Blackman, Gem Sivad, and Goran Zidar. Thank you for stopping by and happy reading! :)
Can't wait for them to meet up! Nice set up.
ReplyDeleteOh, I can't wait to read what happens when they do meet again. Great six! :-)
ReplyDeleteNik's got so many things to deal with at once. How will he get through it? I like the gentleman's club for the setting - things can get wacky pretty fast in a place like that. Great six!
ReplyDeleteLots of world building and atmosphere. Great set up and intro to Nik.
ReplyDeleteSo much going on in your six! Love his reaction to the possibility of seeing his brother. Intriguing six!
ReplyDeleteOh, love the tension! Very intriguing!
ReplyDeleteSounds like he's about to set foot in a hornet's nest. Good luck to him!
ReplyDeleteA couple things I really love here: the first is the single lined "fuck." That really puts a lot of force and tension behind it. I know he means it and I know I've said it like that too many times. The second is that he knows his anger could still boil over, enough to ruin an investigation and he has to be mindful of it. I always love that kind of tumultuous character. Great six.
ReplyDeleteGreat setup. Curious to see the brothers' first interaction.
ReplyDeleteFabulous hook!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely setting us up for conflict on many levels. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteGentlemen's Club? They don't sound like gentlemen to me!
ReplyDeleteSounds like there is a confrontation coming up. Great tension and atmospheric build up, Siobhan!
ReplyDeleteMonica is right. The way you've set things up with this snippet makes me think it's going to have lots of conflict. Great job!
ReplyDeleteIt makes me want to more about Nik's investigation and why it takes him to a BDSM club. I'm intrigued!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a lot of conflict packed into six sentences. Great job!
ReplyDeleteNice! Snappy writing! I enjoyed this.
ReplyDeleteWell that's tension for ya. I'm really liking this story.
ReplyDeleteWonderful tense scene building up to his meeting with his brother. Loved reading this excerpt.
ReplyDeleteTension is the word of the day, LOL. Fantastic job of building what will surely be an explosion at some point!
