NOOK
Set up: Alan and Michaela are finally alone… But Michaela is having difficulty concentrating. lol
***Note: This takes place a few paragraphs later from last week’s snippet, and the snippet has been modified to fit the 8 sentence limit. Fancy punctuations. lol
****************************************************************************
Hyatt had already stationed himself at another table of all women, who buzzed around him like bees to honey. The pub may be filled with people, but in all other sense, Alan and she were alone with no one close enough to hear their conversation.
“Um…shouldn’t you drive your girlfriend home?” she asked and waved her thumb toward Kait, who sauntered out the door.
“Kait and I are only friends. No need to worry, she lives nearby, besides, ” the corners of his mouth twitched, “she’d take my head clean off if I held her hand all the way home.”
Hyatt’s boisterous laugh drew Michaela’s attention and she smiled when he waved and blew her a kiss.
“I should warn ye,” Alan said and leaned forward in his seat, his beautiful blue-eyed gaze proving a distraction and making it difficult to follow his words.
“About what?”
****************************************************************************************
Hmm… What will Alan warn her about? Hmm…

Great snippet–I’m anxious to see what the warning’s all about. Nice desciptions.
Nancy,
Thank you so much. I’m glad you enjoyed the snippet.
I’m curious what he is going to warn her about – will it be about Hyatt’s womanizing or his own mesmerizing blue eyes?
Chelle,
You’ll have to stop by next week and find out.
I want to know about what to?
My guess would be about Hyatt playing Don Juan with every new girl in town.
Linda,
Hmm… you just may be onto something. lol
And so much for Kait!
I love this part—Alan and Michaela making assumptions about each other. It’s clear that Alan’s powers don’t stretch to telepathy!
Sarah,
I do love the beginnings of a relationship and how they feel each out out to find out if they stand a chance. Even Alan having his wonderful talent, isn’t sure where Michaela’s interest are. Thanks so much for popping in for a sneak peek.
Hmmm…Hyatt might draw the attention, but I believe Alan will manage to keep it.
Sarah Cass,
lol– You are spot on with your observation.
I’m eager to find out what he’s warning her about… Kait? The other man that was in and who was looking for a fight? (His name escapes me at the moment. Ethan?) Or something more light-hearted?
P.T.,
You shall find out next week!
Ooh yes, about what? Curious to read more and enjoying these snippets!
Gemma,
I’m thrilled to know you’re enjoying the snippets!
Yeah, about what? Hehehe, great snippet, Karen.
Siobhan,
Thanks so much!
Oh my, a warning? If she wasn’t leaning in toward those blue eyes before, she will be now…is it next week next?
Millie,
Soon… so very soon.
Love the feeling running through your story, the pub and characters are fleshed out so well. Super eight.
Charmaine,
Thanks so much for the lovely compliment.
Good snippet. Nice cliffhanger ending.
Beth,
Hope you’ll stop by next week to find out what happens next.
Oy! If there were a cliffhanger award for #8sunday, you’d win it, Karen! lol. Good snippet!
Teresa,
lol– gotta keep you coming back for more.
Oh what a time to stop! Can’t wait to find out what the warning will be, excellent excerpt. I just feel so at home in this place, thanks to your terrific way with the descriptions.
I think the blues eyes drew me in! Nice snippet.
Melisse,
It’s all about the eyes, isn’t it?
I’m voting for a warning about Hyatt.
Sue,
You just might be right.
I’d let Alan warn me anytime he likes. Sigh. But I hope that Hyatt gets his HEA, too?
Karysa,
Yes, Hyatt does deserve a HEA, doesn’t he?
You left us there? What is the warning! Sigh, guess we have to wait another week…
