Setup for this snippet: WIP from Heart and Soul. This is a snippet from my new ‘rock star romance’ that I’m working on. It’s in the very early stages.
Last week : Maverick’s strange reaction to meeting Rowan for the first time has him rattled.
***
“Would you like a cup of coffee while you wait?” Katie thankfully spoke up, drawing Rowan’s concerned expression away from him and his weird-ass meltdown.
“Tea if you have it,” Rowan replied.
“Coming right up,” he blurted out a little too loudly but it finally snapped him out of his bizarre trance. He hurried away or rather ran away, if truth be told. He needed to gather his composure or Rowan would surely hightail it right out of here with the wrong impression of him and he’d be out a manager. Worse, he would never have a chance to grasp why he wanted to know all there was to know about her.
Was it hot in here? Shit, he was sweating. Anxiety would do that to a man but what was he so anxious about?
By the time he returned with the tea, he would have thought Katie and Rowan were close friends catching up on old times.

Love to hear your feed back. 🙂
About Heart and Soul…
80s rock star, Haley Rose went missing without a trace on October 31 1988 and was eventually presumed dead. Three decades later, a thirty-year old woman, Rowan Beckett recalls things only Haley Rose would know and she can belt out songs in the same fashion as the missing 80s star. However, Rowan couldn’t be the missing rock star since the woman would now be in her fifties. Could Haley Rose have came back reincarnated as Rowan Beckett?

He’s overreacting a little, but it’s a shock to have such intense feelings for an apparent stranger. I’m curious why.
Aurora,
His senses have been overwhelmed. It’s something he’s never experienced before so he’s a little freaked out.
Nicely described moment and of course I’m really wondering why he’s reacting this way. Great snippet!
Veronica,
Thank you. So glad you liked the snippet.
“…his weird ass-meltdown.” Love it! It sounded so natural. Another great snippet, Karen. And once again, the premise for this story is a hook on its own. 🙂
Teresa,
Wonderful. I’m glad it came across as sounding natural.
I love the sound of this book. I have to read it. Great snippet
Naomi,
Thank you. So glad you’re interested in the story.
Love the turmoil of his thoughts! He has no idea what’s going on. I can’t wait to find out how he react to the truth!
Nancy,
He is a bit freaked out right now. 🙂
Haha I can see him getting in trouble for this down the road. 😉
Amy,
He just might.
I’m glad he’s questioning his reaction. I would be, too. Great snippet, Karen. 🙂
Siobhan,
Me too.
His reaction still sounds suspiciously out of the ordinary. And that last sentence seems to have a great big unspoken “but” hanging in mid air 🙂
That it is out of the ordinary.
The poor dude’s got it bad. “Hot in here?” indeed!
Ed,
He does have it bad, doesn’t he? lol
I love the way he’s in such turmoil, although there’s more to it than just attraction, I guess, he’s so confused. Great emotion in this scene!
Hywela,
Thank you.
Tea is a good thing to help you pause–pouring, adding sugar or milk, drinking… Hope he can get it together, before he scares her off!
Caitlin,
It will hopefully help him. 🙂
Wow, she’s made a huge impression! Great snippet.
Elaine,
She sure has.
I wonder how long he’ll be able to keep controlling those feelings and reactions.
Carrie-Anne,
Probably not very long.
Interesting snippet. Can’t wait to find out why he’s reacting that way.
Iris,
So glad you’re intrigued.
He seems to have a lot of trouble controlling himself, I’m pretty sure the girls can totally play on that to annoy him. That would be too funny.
Linda,
He’s a little surprised at his reaction to this woman. You’ll soon find out what her reaction to him is.
Great snippet. I love his confusion and his reaction to her.
Diane,
So glad you liked the snippet.
Great snippet! Can’t wait to read more.
Poor guy. I hope he’s able to get through the rest of the scene. Great snippet.
