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


Thank goodness he’s finally fallen asleep. Liesel took a deep, deep breath and softly blew it out. He had tried for two hours straight to make her talk to him, but he’d finally given up.

She sneaked a peek at Bryce while he slept. He looked even more appealing now than he had last night. Hmm. Look at those little crinkles in the corners of his eyes. He’d probably do well in Hollywood. She could picture him cast in the role of the cowboy good guy, the one who wore the white hat and faced the bad guys in the street. He’d always win because of his great virtue.

This week

Frowning, she sped past a slow mini van. It didn’t matter how perfect Andy Bryce looked. She wanted nothing to do with him. If only they found the cache soon! Her life pleased her very much just as it was. Frankly, she resented Melton for tempting her into this stupid game.
****
“Hey, wake up.”
Andy slowly raised his head. His neck felt stiff enough to break. He had leaned his head back against the headrest for far too long.

    She seems angrier with herself.

    She seems to be worried yet she's on the way. Well done, Elaine.

    Elaine, we just relaxed the rules on wewriwa. I wrote about it on my 8sunday post this week. Participants will no longer have to change punctuation or write run-on sentences to stay within wewriwa guidelines. :-)

    She just won't cut Andy any slack, will she? I suspect that will change, and I can't wait to find out how/why. This is on my Kindle and now I'm out of school, maybe I'll have time to read it!

    I like these insights into her character. She must have something mighty important in the balance to overlook a hotty like this! I'm dying to find out what it is.

    I want to know more about her life! Intriguing snippet and I like the way we can see he's getting under her skin despite her best intentions.

    Her big secret, whatever it is, must be pretty big. I'm eager to learn what it is.

    The fact that she has to fight with herself about him shows just how much he affects her.

    I'm curious about her anger at him and at herself. What's the big secret? And what does it have to do with him??? Curious minds want to know. :)

    I'm looking forward to reading more to understand what's making her tick (this is the first I've read in awhile, so I'm catching up).
