Sunday Snippet-04/28/2013 – Body of Work
Welcome, and thanks for stopping by. Today’s eight-sentence snippet is part of the Weekend Writing Warriors meme, and comes from the early pages of my May 1st release, BODY OF WORK.
The past couple weeks have been from Cassie’s POV, as she finishes her workout and drools over the handsome, ginger-haired personal trainer at the gym. (Click here for previous snippets.) In the following excerpt, we’re with the hero, Brian, later that same night.
Brian rolled to a stop on Sloane Street. He killed the engine and stared through the rain-covered window of his Jeep at the white bungalow. If he did this, if he knocked on Cassie’s door at quarter to one in the morning, there’d be no going back.
A man could only take so much. The petite brunette had caught his eye from day one. She’d been torturing him for months—chatting, teasing him with comments that made her blush, openly flirting with him while she exercised. He’d have made his move immediately if not for his stupid contract.
Which led him back to the decision at hand—to knock on her door or drive away?
Only a few more days until BODY OF WORK hits the virtual shelves! For now, you can read an excerpt or add it to Goodreads. (There’s already an ARC review up there, if you’re interested.)

Knock on the door! Isn’t it obvious what the “right” decision is? Looking forward to this one.

Love to read the hero’s POV–he’s got a little dilemma going for sure–nice snippet!

This decision will have consequences either way. Nice dilemma.

I hope he knocked on the door. Can’t wait to find out. Happy release week, Karla 😀

But, I’m sure there will be consequences if he gives in to temptation. I enjoyed reading why he is suffering, it make me fear for what will happen if he goes to knock on the door.
Veronica Scott
Wow, he’s certainly got a major dilemma going! Excellent excerpt, can’t wait to see what he decides and what happens next.
Linda Morris
Lots of sexy build-up here. We all know what he’s going to do, though. You didn’t call it “dirty gym book” for nothing, lol!

Knock! I can’t wait until Wednesday!

Go, Brian, you good thing! I really like the ‘her making comments that make her blush’ detail.

Only a few more days. Yay you! How exciting. Wanna email me and do a promo on EW and/or my site as well?
Yeah, I’m always a day late and a dollar short. 10-month baby. What can I say?
