Summer Snippets: Beguiling Bridget


Six Sentences:  


“Truly, you have a rapier sharp wit, my lady. Pray tell, how do you do it?”


“I read, my lord,” she replied. “I daresay none of the women of your prior acquaintance can boast such.”

“Indeed,” he said, eyeing her with a hint of doubt in his own charms. That ought to finish him. A couple of well placed poisoned darts in his more than adequate ego and he would be but a memory of this tedious night.


BLURB: 


Driven to distraction by the redhead across the room, Anthony Benson barely hears the terms of his brother’s challenge before agreeing to them.

No matter. It will be easy. Viscount Maddox has never had any problem impressing the ladies. And four weeks is more than enough time to win over this so obviously neglected wallflower.

But things are never as easy as they seem.

The lady has lofty aspirations. And not one of them includes love or marriage. Especially not with an arrogant and self-assured playboy like the viscount. No matter how attractive he may be.

6 sentences:

Jack cleared his throat and walked over to where the attractive curly haired brunette sat. When he caught her gaze he wasn't prepared for her deep green eyes with small brown centers. A guy could get lost in those eyes. He extended his hand. "Jack DeVane. Nice to meet you." A spark raced through his fingers when she met his handshake. From her genuine smile, to the gleam in her eyes, she could have been on the town's welcoming committee because that's just how she made Jack feel. Warm and Welcome.

Summer Snippets: All We See or Seem


Here is another Summer Snippet for you. Check out this great book from Leah Sanders...



Six sentences:

As he rounded the corner into Gate 12, he caught a last glimpse of the woman disappearing into the jetway. His heart, which had been up in his throat since first laying eyes on her, dropped into his stomach heavily, crushing his hope of solving at least one mystery. Now he would never know their connection — where he knew her from, and why she inhabited his every thought, waking and sleeping.

In one last effort, hoping perhaps it might draw her back out of the jetway, he called her name, the only name he knew to call her. “Gem!” he yelled down the ramp, but she didn’t so much as wince with recognition at the sound. Could he be mistaken?


Blurb:

Gryff’s orders lay unopened on the table.

The silent tension caused Gem to bite her lip. She tucked a loose strand of auburn hair behind her ear and shifted uneasily in the chair. Wide-eyed, Gryff sat stiffly beside her, regarding the envelope. He was like a statue—hands on his knees—staring interminably at the table.

Finally, Gem cleared her throat. Gryff jolted as if in a daze and turned to look at her. A look of uncertainty hung in his eyes. She swallowed the dry, sticky taste in her mouth and reached for his hand. It felt cold…clammy. Gem could feel the faint tremor of his fear radiating through his fingers. She took Gryff's hand between her own and squeezed, trying to infuse heat and reassurance at the same time.

"Sometimes they come back," Gem's voice was barely a whisper. It was a feeble attempt, but she was grasping at straws here.

Everyone knows.

They don't come back. Never whole, anyway.

Summer Snippets: A Body in the Attic


Today we continue with our summer Snippet Series. If you are looking for a good read this summer, Astraea Press has a lot to offer. Check out this fabulous book!


Six Sentences:

Everyone laughed, except Annabelle who didn’t understand the joke, as they remembered the last time they’d had Chinese and Dakota got into the lo mein noodles.
“Annabelle, it’s really very simple,” Emily started. “You know dogs, when given people food will take mouthfuls—well, Dakota didn’t. He ate the noodles like a child does spaghetti, sucking one strand at a time into his mouth. Several strands even slapped him on the muzzle, which startled him but didn’t deter him from partaking in the meal his way.”

Blurb:

A missing soldier. A break in. A former, now soldier, model tells of an aborted assault. A passageway hiding more than years of dust and cobwebs. Rooms where there are none. The reappearance of the mysterious ‘brown-haired man’. What, if anything, ties these random facts together.
With precision and dedication Emily and Dakota start to unravel some of the questions. Only when an FBI agent steps up do the facts start to merge into what appears to be a terrorist conspiracy.
A body found halfway across the country is the final clue in answering all of the question, but one.
Will Emily be able to save a life before it’s too late?

Today we have another great summer snippet for you. Check it out! :)



Six Sentences:


“Now comes the fun part.” Grandma opened the sliding glass doors leading onto the balcony. “You need to learn how to fly.” She tugged a lounge chair next to the railing. “Just climb up here and leap off.”
Not that I didn’t love my grandma, but she’d lost her ever-loving mind. No way in the world did any of my plans include jumping to my death.

Blurb:


Sixteen-year-old Maggie Winters can’t think of anything more exciting than junior year. There’s her first prom to look forward to, she can drive, and most important Connor Prince has finally noticed her. But unfortunately so has the school snob, Katrina Melville, who goes out of her way to make Maggie’s life a living hell. If that’s not enough, Maggie’s grandma has decided to retire, which doesn’t seem like such a big deal. That is until she finds out her grandma is a Fairy Godmother, and not just any Fairy Godmother. The Fairy Godmother, as in Cinderella, pumpkins, and mice. And she has informed Maggie that she’s next in line to become the new Fairy Godmother.

At first Maggie is excited, the whole getting wings, flying (or rather trying not to crash), and a wand that lets her grant wishes. It’s like being a superhero, without all the action, explosions, and spandex. Then she gets her first assignment, Katrina Melville, her nemesis. And if that doesn’t make her want to poof herself into oblivion, she finds out that part of Katrina’s happily-ever-after is Connor Prince. Life is so unfair. Even worse, she can’t tell her two best friends about any of it and they’re getting sick of her disappearing acts. Then there are the dangerous creatures, called Grimms who will stop at nothing to keep the happy endings from being fulfilled, even if it means destroying the Fairy Godmother responsible. With time running out, Maggie has to make this wish come true or it will ruin the fates of everyone involved, and open the world to darkness beyond imagination. Maggie will soon find out what it truly means to be a Fairy Godmother—and it isn’t all about princes, gowns, and wings, but something much more.

Summer Snippets: Secrets of Catalpa Hall

Welcome to another Summer Snippets! Check out the great book we have featured today...



Six Sentences:


There was a sudden, violent shrieking of wood and nails being ripped from above. More crashing, more ripping, and then, in a mist of smoke, a hazy light appeared. Then she saw Gideon’s face above, the bandana pulled over his mouth, his eyes red-streaked from smoke. He said nothing, just continued to rip at the boards. Next thing Melody knew, he was reaching down for her, folding her into his arms and lifting her into a cauldron of smoke and flames.

“Close your eyes,” Gideon said. “We have to go out the balcony.”

Blurb:

Melody Moon has returned to her rural roots with fame and riches in hopes of finding Gideon, the young man with the ghastly birthmark on his face. His memory has haunted her for twenty years, yet no one knows what happened to him. After purchasing Catalpa Hall, their childhood sanctuary, Melody makes a strange discovery: carved in the wood below the old stage in the hall is her name, Gideon’s name, and the current year.
Melody and Gideon were once known as the “Double Uglies,” dubbed as such by Melody’s reprehensible older brother, Dean. The cruel nickname later earned Melody fame as an author of children’s books, but only Gideon knows the nickname had actually precipitated dreadfully more—it precipitated her brother’s drowning long ago. It’s a loss that’s tormented Gideon, turning him into the recluse he’s become.

What exactly did happen at the secluded pond behind Catalpa Hall when Melody and Gideon were so young and just trying to get by in the backwoods culture…and who else may have witnessed it? Someone with sinister motives is involved, and is desperately attempting to tear the now reunited Gideon and Melody apart. Gideon’s love for the enchanting young woman he’d been forced to abandon two decades ago may force him to leave her again, for he feels certain Melody could never understand the truth. At least, his perception of the truth.

Summer Snippets: A Bright Particular Star



Welcome to another installment of Summer Snippets! Here's the book we are featuring today...




Six Sentences 


He had known from the first that this was different. She was different.
He admired and desired her, but there was infinitely more to the way he felt than that. He had tried to define it and still he found it
impossible to articulate everything she meant to him.

How could he explain why one woman—this woman—had ripped the heart from his chest, never to let it go?

All he knew was she was a beacon of beauty and kindness in a cruel, unforgiving world,
the irresistible light that now guided him out of the filthiest hellholes, the seediest gaming dens and endless tight corners.
She touched his soul and he loved her more than life itself.
