you haven’t and would prefer to read the full prologue first, along with the

ReplyDeleteExciting! It's always fun when the heroine doesn't know where she is when she wakes up :)
ReplyDeleteLove this! You've hooked me...heading to Amazon.
ReplyDeleteOh I love the deep dark family secrets mixed with murder. She better watch who she wakes up with! Great snippet.
ReplyDeleteApparently she missed a few developments along the way - excellent excerpt, sure raises a lot of questions to keep us reading!
ReplyDeleteExcellent, Carmen! Very believable action, love the deep POV, re: the shortest skirt...
ReplyDeleteNice job :-)
Very interesting! Not a good way to wake up, LOL.
ReplyDeleteFunny! I wonder if anything happened between them. I'm guessing not, but it's certainly possible.
ReplyDeleteBet it'll drive her crazy wondering if anything happened between them.
ReplyDeleteHaha. Oh, this has happened to me before ;P Great hook. I definitely wanna find out if something did happen between them, and if she was too drunk to remember, I wonder how he'll react.
ReplyDeleteGreat snippet! Lots of questions I want answered...a sure way to keep me reading. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat reactions - very realistic!
