Sunday Snippet

Welcome to Snippet Sunday. My excerpt today is from Her Kind of Man. In this excerpt, my heroine Kara and her sister Katie are talking about a man they went to school with. He always had a crush on Kara, but from the sound of it, Kara never thought he was anything special. Surprisingly, Ross turns out to be exactly her kind of man.

EXCERPT:

“I bet he didn’t go because you were going with someone else. Ross always reminded me of a devoted, old spaniel. He adored the ground you walked on, and I think he still does.”

Kara chuckled when she remembered Ross’s lovesick behavior. “That’s a pretty good description. Every time I spoke to him I expected him to duck his head and blush. One word from me and he was too tongue-tied to put two syllables together.”
 
BLURB:
Is it possible she’s finally found Her Kind of Man?

Ross Williams has been in love with Kara Cochrane since they were kids so when Kara's fiancĂ© Brandon Miles cheats on her and calls off their wedding—Ross steps in to rescue the damsel in distress.
 
A heartbroken Kara just wants to get on with her life and hunky Ross provides her with a definite distraction—that is until she starts falling for him. Big time.

But a devastating family secret threatens to destroy everything that Kara holds dear—including her relationship with Ross.

  2. Ross seems to be the difficult type to handle, in the sense that he is too deep in it too fast. I wonder how it will turn out.
