Hellooooooooooo! Hope you’re all fine and dandy like sour candy. I’ll be sharing another snippet from my new release, LOVE UNLEASHED, so find a comfy chair and dive in!
Continuing from where we left off…
In minutes, she’d removed all the lug nuts and had the spare lined up for the switch. Loose asphalt and gravel bit into her knees, but she could see the finish line ahead. Kent’s hovering only spurred her on. Tossing the flat aside, she loaded up the spare and secured it to the axle hub. While she tightened the nuts in place, Kent’s “irrational” comment drifted through her mind. Maybe on another day she’d let it slide, but not today. She ensured the job was done to the Barker family standards before pushing to her feet. Then she turned on him.
“You know what, Kent Clarkson, I am not the irrational or unreasonable one here. I’ve worked my butt off to get this far with my proposal. You have no idea what’s been happening behind the scenes, but why would you? All you seem to care about it is your own agenda. What kind of sociopath doesn’t like dogs?”
***End of WWW post, but here’s a bit more!***
“Oh, so now we’re name-calling?” He rubbed at the back of his hand, his lips flattening into a straight line and his chest heaving. “Maybe if you’d listened to my objections, you’d understand why I’m so against your proposed dog park. But all you care about is having to wait a little longer to get the green light.”
“The hoops!” she cried. “Do you have any idea how many hoops I’ve had to jump through?”
Here’s the blurb:
Hannah Barker has it all. A booming business, a fabulous group of girlfriends, and a loving and devoted housemate…with floppy ears and a wet nose. She doesn’t have time for romance. Or so she says.
Kent Clarkson is a single father on a mission to keep his daughter safe. But when the blonde bombshell he’s been butting heads with all summer proposes opening a dog park, Kent—who’s been once bitten and more than twice shy—goes on the offensive. Soon, it’s all-out war.
The whole town knows the chemistry between Hannah and Kent is off the leash, but can these two set aside their differences long enough to fall in love?
Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to visit the other Weekend Writing Warriors!
Here we are, almost through another month. LOVE UNLEASHED is getting a lot of positive feedback, which is motivating me to write the final book in my series. I’ll start sharing snippets from that once I finish posting the first chapter of LU. See you next week, my friends! No tricks, only treats. 😀
They’re not very good at listening to one another – which is half the problem. Liking this very much.
That’s the trouble when both people think they’re right. 🙂 Thanks, Nancy! Glad you’re enjoying the story!
Neither one wants to listen to the other much less to find a compromise on the middle ground. But great snippet!
They’re both very stubborn, but things will simmer down eventually…until they heat up in a different way. 😉 Thanks, Veronica!
They make such delightful sparks!
Thank you, my friend! I think so, too! 😀
I’m waiting for this to come to blows soon! They are both so emotionally charged that energy has to go somewhere…either a punch or a kiss has got to happen. LOL Great snippet!
