Well, hello, dears! I felt very Mrs. Doubtfire the way I said that. Are you all ready to sink the sub? Hide the weasel? Park the porpoise? A bit of the old
Humpty Dumpty, Little Jack Horny, the Horizontal Mambo, hmm? The Bone
Dancer, Rumpleforeskin, Baloney Bop, a bit of the old Cunning
Linguistics? And I'll stop now. :D Today's excerpt is from a little story that's releasing in a couple weeks. It's called Cheapskates in Love, and I now have a blurb AND a cover to share with you!
Isn't it beautiful? I just love my cover. It's too perfect for the story. Here's the blurb!
It’s couples' skating
night down at the local rink and Elena Armstrong can’t seem to keep her
cocky jock blind date around long enough to knee him in the balls.
Sadly, she was too much of a cheapskate to pay for a membership to an
online dating site and based everything on Leonard’s personality profile
alone. Big mistake.
At the opposite end of the rink, Ben Kessel,
another cheapskate on a blind date with Iris, the ice princess, is
having a similarly miserable time. Elena, a hater of all things
sports-related, inches out into the skating world butt-first and
collides with Ben. After sharing their hilarious and horrifying
dates-gone-wrong stories, the two disappear and make everything right
again on the floor in the players’ dressing room. Almost everything.
They forget to exchange numbers. Now these two cheapskates need to make
the ultimate sacrifice: pay for a membership to the online dating site
so they can track each other down. But is the possibility of love really
worth the price of $24.95 per month?
Ready for an excerpt? Okay!
Hey,
uh, what’s your last name?”
“Kessel.”
Kessel. Elena Kessel. Mmm, that has a nice
ring to it.
“You
still there?”
She
grinned and said in a seductive voice, “I wanna kessel all over you.”
I wanna kessel all over him too. :D Hope you enjoyed! My Cheapskates are now on Goodreads! If you'd like to add it to your TBR list, click here!
