8-Lines from Love Over Time #MFRWHooks






Welcome, and thank you for dropping in to read my 8-line Hook from my latest work, Love Over Time -- an Adult Contemporary Romance about two strangers with a very distant shared past who cross paths a few times before slowly making a connection as that ancient, shared past starts to unfold, offering both agony and ecstasy along with much-needed understanding that is meant to lead them to a lasting love.

About Love Over Time


This second novel was published back in July and is available on all formats through Smashwords, and for the Kindle at Amazon.




Blurb


A chance encounter at the airport is innocent enough, but it sets in motion a chain of calamitous events that leave photographer, Kaisa Dalen, badly shaken and jet pilot, Perry Lindstrom, reluctantly determined to protect her at all cost.

8-Lines


While he stood staring at her, she focused on his big, dark eyes that were locked onto her; making her feel anxious about being caught in his spell.

Their navy depths appeared unfathomable, like the deepest part of a lake or a stormy sea.

Her skin chilled, causing her to shudder, and that made her suddenly recall the words a friend had spoken about the man of her dreams.

“His eyes,” her giddy friend had cooed. “The second he looked at me, my whole body started to quiver and I just knew.”

Aware that something similar was happening to her, Kaisa rolled onto her side and crossed her arms at her chest, giving that man her back.

Her heart beat a mad rhythm that pulsed inside her ears, helping to drown out the emergency room noises and that no-longer-reassuring breaking news bulletin.

She could feel heat radiate off her face, making her want to fan herself for relief, but she didn’t dare when she could also feel the hot guy’s presence still behind her.

“You have no idea how glad I am to see you again.”

Over There! #MFRWauthor Blog Challenge Week 17

Hello, and welcome to another installment of the MFRWauthor 52-Week Blog Challenge. This week's question is: The Top Five Places I'd Like to Visit I've included a Linky at the end of this post so you can visit everyone's submission to this week's Hop. I know it sounds ridiculous to say I Love to Travel because, let's be honest, who doesn't? A more accurate or realistic remark might sound more like this: Who Can AFFORD to Travel? Right? Not me! But, dreams are free and here is mine. #5 Crete Home to the Ideon Cave, which was the birthplace of Zeus. But also for the food, the atmosphere, and especially the photo ops standing near all of the white buildings with blue awnings/rooftops/shutters... and with the Mediterranean as a backdrop. I learned in one of my Linguistics classes that there is an island off the coast of Greece where the language is so obscure that even Greeks have trouble understanding it. Fascinating stuff, s...

Korean Drama, Fool's Love - a Review

Image
호구의 사랑 / Hogooeui Sarang AKA: Ho Gu's Love / Fool's Love / Fool for You Genre: Romance, comedy Episodes: 16 Network: tvN Broadcast: 2015-Feb through Mar Synopsis A romantic comedy drama that depicts Kang Ho Goo, who never had a girlfriend and has no dating techniques. He meets his first love -- a member of the national swim team -- Do Do Hee and gets involved in a complicated love/friend relationship. Main Cast UEE as Do Do Hee (A swimmer, Asian Games silver medalist) Choi Woo Shik as Kang Ho Goo (artist, dreamer, lover) This was worth the watch AND the wait for episode uploads. At first, I didn't care for UEE and thought that Ho Goo's twin sister did a better, more believable job portraying the bad-ass, ugly duckling with the opposite attitude. But as the show progressed, I managed to get past UEE's huge eyes and fat cheeks, and that deadpan, I really don't give a shit vibe she carried throughout and started to enjoy her on-screen time ...

The Thought Bubble Never Pops #MFRWauthor

Hello, again. Sorry about missing last week's challenge (Favorite Novel Quotes) AND not being able to read or comment on the posts from the week before! I don't know what happened, but not only couldn't I open the MFRW Author Blog page to find the links, the links refused to appear on my blog, so I had no way of joining the hop and was very upset. Last week's challenge was not something I would have been able to participate in since I'm not one to quote anything... because I can't remember what "I" said ten minutes ago, much less what I read ten years or months or hours ago. MY total recall is along the photographic line; not the literary. My son can watch a movie ONCE and then verbatim quote it for years after, leaving his mother in awe of such a skillful talent! And here's me, trying to remember the movie title and who starred. What I recall most from both books and movies that I truly enjoyed is the setting that evolved in my ...
