Keeping his hands off her #smalltown #sweetromance @entangledpub #MFRWHooks #mustread
Today is Book Hooks, a blog hop where authors post clips from their books and link to each other to share them with you.
My hook comes from One Week to Win Her Boss, the next book in my Snowflake Valley series, releasing this Monday! Take a peek, then read on to find the list of other authors participating in the hooks – and to find out about a special giveaway from me.
Here’s my hook:
Michael shot to his feet as Amber rose from the couch.
She froze, looking up at him uncertainly. But she didn’t back away. She didn’t look away. Those sparkling eyes of hers stared into his, drawing him to her. Instead of backing up and walking off the way he’d intended to—the way he should have—he stepped forward, as if he had no choice in the matter. And maybe he hadn’t.
Maybe there was a reason he had come to the lodge just when Amber had decided to hide out here.
Maybe he wasn’t meant to keep his thoughts away from her.
Or his hands off her.
He trailed his fingertips along her jaw, then lifted her chin. Her eyes widened and her lips parted and her breath exhaled in a rush that halted any thought he’d had of walking away.
With the tip of his thumb, he grazed her bottom lip. Her answering indrawn breath made it impossible for him to keep from lowering his mouth to hers.
One more taste…
But even as his lips brushed hers, he knew that taste would come with a price he wouldn’t want to pay.

Here are the other authors participating today. Go visit! Read their clips! Enjoy! 🙂
Enjoyed the excerpt. Drew me in .
Oooh, nice! a price he wouldn’t want to pay…
Good twist at the end!
Great Hook!
I like how they both have reservations about kissing, but do it anyway.
Thanks, Janet – just what we always hope to do. 🙂
Thanks, Kayelle – definitely a high price for this hero…
Thanks very much, Kris!
🙂 Thanks, Holly. I appreciate that.
So true, Ed – they have big reasons for not getting involved, first of all, because he’s her boss. But… 😉
Okay, so you’ve definitely got me wondering. Just what is this “price”? Is he commitment phobic?
Anyway, good luck with the book!
Thanks, Lisabet! I’m glad this caught your attention and made you wonder.
