Here's the blurb for Adventures in Online Dating: 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!
In the last excerpt, Mr. Parking Enforcement Officer told Syd that she should have put money in her own meter and worried less about her date's. We'll continue from there in 3, 2, 1....
“That’s completely beside the
point.”
He
laughed long and hard as he took a step closer. “Not to me.”
Now
that he stood in front of her, she finally looked him over--tall and tan and
young, but not too young, and yummy. His eyes were green with flecks of gold, warm and inviting. Freckles dotted his nose and the tops of his cheeks, lucky
whiskers outlined his mouth, and lips that looked softer than rose petals curved
upwards. The sound of his melodic laughter still floated in her ears and
enticed a smile that was beyond her control. “Officer....”
“Patrick,”
he supplied.
“Patrick, um, could you find it in your heart to let me off the hook this one time?”

Great descriptions! Will her let her off?
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving! I personally, am thankful for hot men, real or imagined. Patrick sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteFine excerpt and description and oh the Patrick! Take him.
ReplyDeleteWell, that excerpt and he were yummy : ) Slurp!
ReplyDeleteGreat description - especially the part about his lips curved upwards like rose petals. I do love roses. :)
ReplyDeleteSomehow I have the feeling that soon Syd will not want Officer Patrick to let her go at all!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving and congrats on the final installment! Now, stop molesting minions and go write more.
He certainly does sound appealing! Congratulations on the whole SilkWords experience, how it went well.
ReplyDeleteLove his reply--it is the point to him. In fact it's his job. I don't see her getting away without a ticket.
ReplyDeleteIs this it?? Is HE the one?? All the guys she's met online, and the one that sort of happenstances into her life has got to be it!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're having a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend, Evelyn! It's always nice to stop and reflect on the things we're grateful for. :-)
