Here's the blurb: After too many failed relationships, too many shots of tequila, and too many not-so-gentle nudges from her best friend, Sydney Montrose joins an online dating site in hopes of finding THE ONE. During her adventures, she crosses paths with a professional gamer who lives with his parents, a sweet and sarcastic parking enforcement officer, a flirty barista, a mystery man, a touchy-feely former felon, and a clown. Which one will she choose? Well, that's all entirely up to you!
And here's the excerpt, continuing from where we left off:
She brought the mug to her lips and
let loose a moan as the hot, soothing beverage trickled down her throat. “Joe
wouldn’t know a cuppa joe if it smacked him in the face.”
“Joe, huh? He didn’t really look like a Joe.”
She
gave Mystery Man a good once-over. He definitely
didn’t look like a Joe--maybe a Hunter, or a Preston, or a Luke. “So tell me your name.”
“Garrett,”
he answered without preamble, “and you are?”
Good
heavenly God, Garrett was a sexy name. “Sydney.”
And Mystery Man finally has a name! lol. Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to visit the other Weekend Writing Warriors!
As of yesterday, I officially kicked off my summer break! I can't tell you how much fun I had this past week with all my coworkers, celebrating the end of another year of teaching. I ate SO much cake, I laughed, I cried, and I got in a whole bunch of hugs. I sure don't mind being off for two months, but I'll miss them a ton. Now begins the summer of Evelyn! Wishing everyone a fabulous week ahead, and happy Canada Day to my fellow Canucks! :)

*smiles* I had to laugh at the last lines.... (my BiL is named Garett, and I ... well, just can't put sexy and the name together like that... but yeah, I can see how some could)
ReplyDeleteLove how she doesn't hold back from showing she's enjoying herself now.
What a fun loving, often foolish , girl. You've gotta love her. Nice name, Garrett.
ReplyDeleteHappiest summer ahead for you. Evelyn.
Garrett works for me! Or Joe...fun snippet!
ReplyDeleteI really like the name Garrett:)
ReplyDeleteLoved how you considered the name Luke sexy. I concur. Looks like you are having fun with the story
ReplyDeleteWhat would she have done if he had a dorky name? Tossed him back after she finished her coffee? :)
ReplyDeleteShe was wrong about his name - what else has she wrongly assumed about Mystery Man? Great snippet.
ReplyDeleteI like Garrett, too. But she is in great danger of strictly judging this book by its admittedly sexy cover. :-)
ReplyDelete"Good heavenly God..." Your excerpts always make me smile, Evelyn!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it's been 125 posts so far. I don't think you've missed a single one!!
Somehow I managed to miss a week, not sure how I did that. Anyway, I'm happy that smooth mystery guy now has a name. (Sad it's not Luke, however...) I think Syd may finally be on the right path!
ReplyDeleteHope Canada Day was full of awesomeness!
