Saturday Sample and Weekend Writing Warriors: Never Trust a Pretty Wolf


Welcome to Saturday Sample and Weekend Writing Warriors. Today we'll continue to share excerpts from Never Trust a Pretty Wolf. On Sunday when you finish here, do go to http://www.wewriwa.blogspot.com for more excerpts from a bunch of great authors.

Blurb:
Liesel Wolf has a secret, a dangerous secret she’ll go to any lengths to conceal. When she’s paired in a charity game with sexy marshal Andy Bryce, a man with secrets of his own, her carefully constructed world comes crashing down, and Liesel’s on a collision course with her past.



Excerpt: 
Chapter One

Last Week

“Fine by me.”

By seven fifty, they’d finished their breakfast of bacon, eggs, and pancakes and had their latitude and longitude chart unrolled. Andy couldn’t wait to hear from Melton. Trying to make conversation with Liesel Wolf reminded him of talking to a cool, marble statue. Every time he spoke she stared blankly at him, but she didn’t deign to make a reply unless she couldn’t get out of it.

Promptly at eight, Melton emailed the first set of coordinates. Andy quickly scanned his chart. “Those coordinates are in South Carolina.”

“South Carolina? That’s at least twelve hours from here.”


This week: We're in Andy's POV

  1. OUCH!! lol This is outstanding, Elaine. Their personalities are like drops of water hitting a hot, well-seasoned cast iron pan. Sort of sizzling, bordering on explosive.

  3. Hmmm. I think she's playing the role of macho Neanderthal here. Wonder when he's going to get tired of that?

  4. Fun banter. She's reacting before she knows what he's really like.

  5. Sparks are flying! So far, though, she's the one acting like a macho neanderthal.

  6. Whoa! Macho Neanderthal? That's harsh. She is making a big assumption.

  7. Her hostility is wearing ME down and I'm not even in the darn car with her! I feel the tension building and something is no doubt going to snap...and make for excellent reading. Great snippet.
