Heart and Soul is a WIP.
This is in Maverick’s POV. Maverick is worried about Katie and her new boyfriend she’s picked.
This Week’s Snippet Below.
***
Katie looped her hand through his and wasn’t in the least put off by his questions. “He may look a little rough around the edges but he’s a good guy. Besides he’s as a lot hotter than that vampire from the show you’re referring to. Though I thought the actor was pretty damn cool.”
He harrumphed. “Does your Spike have a job?” He stressed your with a drawn-out drawl just so she realized who they were talking about. He knew Katie and she tended to pick guys who didn’t think they needed to work more than a few hours a day and she ended up supporting them until she kicked their arses to the curb.
“He has a job,” Katie said with annoyance.
“Uh-huh, what does he do?”

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 come back reincarnated as Rowan Beckett?

I’d be the same way, given her track record. Great snippet, Karen.
Siobhan,
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed the snippet.
He sounds like he’s being a good friend. Way to make me feel old, by the way! I used to have a TV that was a dead ringer for the one in the picture, rabbit ears and all.
I used to have a tv with the rabbit ears, too. 🙂
Trouble afoot. She’s always a pain as he hopes to straighten her out. I could feel the animosity.
Charmaine,
He wants the best for her.
Ugh, liking the bad boys. Love your likable, flawed, honest character! Can’t wait to read more!
Sara,
So glad you liked the snippet.
It’s kind of him to remind her gently.
Aurora,
It is. 🙂
I’m curious as to the answer as well. Nice snippet!
Jessica,
I’m glad you’re curious. 🙂
Yeah, I wanna know too. What does he do?
I know women like that who pick guys who don’t work all that much. And I wonder…why. Why? Why?
Great snippet, Karen!
Teresa,
I’m always confused by their choices, too.
So glad you enjoyed the snippet.
Ooh, sort of a tense conversation happening here! Good explanation for the unaware reader what “Spike” referred to in the previous snippet – well done. I can feel Katie’s temper rising as she gets self defensive…always love your writing ‘voice’. Great snippet!
Veronica,
Thank you so much.
I’m so glad you like the ‘Spike’ explanation, too.
He’s sure acting like a big brother. It makes me wonder about their relationship.
Ed,
Good friends that look out for each other. 🙂
I don’t blame him for being concerned – and I have a feeling she’s being a bit too defensive!
Hywela,
She’s made some poor choices and Maverick and Katie are good friends. He’s worried about her.
Sounds like he isn’t sure about the guy’s job.
