Welcome to Saturday Sample. We'll continue with out excerpts from Flood. I hope you're enjoying them because I really enjoyed writing the book. Flood was reviewed by RomCon Reviews. They gave it 5 stars, and in part they said, It's the kind of story that stays with you because of the intensity of the circumstances and you remember the characters. You can read the rest of the review here .
Blurb:
Drawn together by their love of animals, Aria De Luca and Caleb Hawkins burn for each other. They never suspected that malignant forces around them were successfully plotting Caleb’s ruin from the moment he entered her life. When the flood of a century strikes Aria’s hometown, an alienated Caleb is all that stands between her and catastrophic loss.

too big for her body, and a scarred back. Her ears were
down; her eyes looked scared.
Aria slowly approached the pair. “Hello, Peaches.”

Poor Peaches! Vivid description and I hope she's going to be a lot better by the time the book ends :) This is the new snippet right? And the one posted for Sunday the 17th is last week's? It's confusing me LOL. (A lot of us just post our snippet on Saturday and let it serve for both days of blog hops.) But the story itself is so compelling!
ReplyDeleteI'm angry, too, about the abuse.
