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 is showing Rowan her apartment above the coffeehouse.
This is Rowan’s POV.
***
He placed the key in the lock and turned the knob. Upon entering, his hand reached for the switch on the wall to the left of him, illuminating the room in a warm glow, coming from the hanging lamp next to the sofa.
Luckily the place had come furnished, which proved a blessing since her previous place of residence had been too. Never big on knickknacks or frivolous items that collected dust on a mantle, all her worldly possessions fit in the trunk of her car.
“This is the living room,” he said as he played tour guide. Fresh paint and disinfectant, and some kind of fragrant carpet cleaner scented the air, indicating the place had recently been given a makeover to welcome a new tenant.
“The bathroom is here,” he continued the tour as he flipped on the lights as he went. “And the bedroom is across the way.”
At the mention of that particular room her mind went where it had no business treading, but who could really blame her? Maverick was a looker to say the least with his perfect hair, eyes that spoke of mischief, lips that confirmed it and not to mention his athletic physique—with muscular arms wedged into a black t-shirt and his bum in those jeans were a dose of sexy no woman in her right mind could ignore…

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?

I’m trying this from my phone. I don’t think it worked last week. Very good snippet. I liked the description of the apartment…and him.
Nancy,
Thank you. So glad you enjoyed the snippet.
Nice description of him … Makes me wonder where this is heading ….
Iris,
Glad you’re curious to know.
Iris,
Glad you enjoyed the snippet. 🙂
Sounds like the guy is more attractive than the apartment, which is saying something!
Christina,
lol- He just might be. 🙂
Great snippet. But watch out, Maverick. I think the lady has you firmly in her sights.
Christiane,
She sure does. 🙂
Christaine,
She just might. lol
An excellent excerpt, enjoyed all the details! You really know how to set the scene 🙂
Veronica,
Thank you so much.
I’m glad she and I are on the same page. I might have scrolled back up to check out that model a couple times. Just sayin’. 😉
Amy,
lol- Well, no reason you can’t take another peek. 🙂
Nice description–of him! lol. The apt. description was pretty good too. 🙂
Teresa,
Glad you liked them both. 🙂
I can imagine her looking him up and down while he’s indicating the facilities! She’s interested, but what is he thinking?
Aurora,
You’ll soon find out what he’s thinking. 🙂
Good snippet. I like your description of the apartment–indicating the place had recently been given a makeover to welcome a new tenant. That would be great in her POV, that she would see the place as welcoming.
Diane,
Thank you.
I like the image ‘a dose of sexy no woman in her right mind could ignore.’ That says so much. 🙂
Libby,
So glad you enjoyed the image.
That last line says it all, doesn’t it! I like the description of the apartment, but I reckon her mind was only half on the details – the other half was obviously otherwise occupied!
Hywela,
Yes, she was a bit distracted. lol
I’m looking forward to reading this one!
Karysa,
So glad you’re intrigued. 🙂
I can’t help but wonder if he’s having similar thoughts to hers!
Carrie-Anne,
He just might be. lol
So, does he give her a tour of the bedroom, too?
Ed,
A more thorough tour may come later. lol
Two nice views, sounds like! I can’t help but feeling this mutual connection will go somewhere.
Caitlin,
Just might.
I can see why she’s enjoying the tour. Good snippet, Karen. 🙂
