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 : Rowan was having a difficult time keeping her eyes off her new boss.
This is Rowan’s POV.
***
As if he sensed her staring, he turned toward her and met her gaze with an arched brow. Then she realized he must have asked her something but she had no idea what. Heat rose from her neck to her cheeks like a fever out of control, making her wish she could fan herself but wouldn’t that appear even stranger than not answering him. She quickly stepped around his tall frame to peek inside the room and hoped her awkward silence wouldn’t come off as too weird. A musky, woodsy scent, hit her nostrils like phantom tease. Damn, did he have to smell good on top of everything else? Her gaze landed on the queen-size bed with a blue and white comforter and she chewed on her lower lip to stifle the sigh as images of rolling around on the spacious surface with the man behind her played havoc with her libido. Stop it, she mentally chastised herself. This was her boss, for God’s sake and she was in no way interested in starting a relationship with him or anyone else for that matter when she had something much more important to tend to first.
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?

Terrific details to set the scene and I could feel her embarrassment and preoccupation. Excellent excerpt!
Veronica,
Thank you so much. Glad it all came through.
I went through the same thing yesterday! Stupid guys with their awesome smelling and appropriate use of cologne…
lol-so very true.
The sensory details are great, but what I like even more are the conflicting urges warring inside her mind.
Ed,
Thank you. 🙂
Is she in a fix. He’s bound to see her embarrassment and wonder why. Good snippet.
Diane,
Glad you enjoyed the snippet.
“…she was in no way interested in starting a relationship with him or anyone else for that matter when she had something much more important to tend to first.” yes, keep telling yourself that, Rowan!
lol- She will for a while.
Great scene and great imagery. Well done!
Christiane,
Thank you.
She’s hooked on him, but what is more important to her?
You’ll have to wait and see.
We often can’t control when we start having fantasies about a crush, even if it’s a very awkward setting!
So very true.
I wonder what she has that’s more important to tend to. Good set up.
Thank you.
She can be interested, even if she isn’t ready to act on it… yet. 🙂
Loved it. Great details ….
Nice imagery and showing her inner conflict. Well done.
Oh I think she is interested enough to start something with him. Now I wonder if they are going closer to this bed just yet.
Ah, the scent of a sexy man. Has been the undoing of many a woman. Great snippet, Karen. 🙂
