Here's a scene from BLUEBONNETS FOR ELLY*, followed by details of how to win a free ebook copy. FYI: Reader's Favorite says, "This was a well written romantic comedy with a hint of mystery and enough kooky characters to keep you interested right from the beginning."
After
lunch, Derek drove them to the home improvement store to buy locks and hinges,
then to a nearby supermarket before taking Elly home. When he stopped under the
carport and turned to her, he leaned forward as if to give her a goodbye kiss.
She shook her head and pointed to the trailer. Sure enough, the blinds were
parted with Granny’s face visible inside.
To Elly’s
surprise, Derek put the truck into reverse and backed out of the driveway. She
turned and asked, “Where are we going?”
“Not far.”
He drove back through the neighborhood’s gate, took a left, and stopped by a
roadside park. With only birds and squirrels as witnesses, he turned to Elly
and pulled her into his arms. She lifted her hands to his neck and ran her
fingers through the dark hair above his collar. When his lips touched hers, a
wave of heat surged from her lips all the way to her toes.
Leaning
back, Derek smiled and brushed Elly’s curls from her cheek. “I’ve been wanting
to do that ever since I picked you up, and there’s no way Mrs. M was going to
stop me.”
A blush
warmed Elly’s cheeks. She leaned forward and they kissed until she could barely
breathe. When his tongue explored her mouth, she leaned even closer, tilting
her head, savoring his taste. Derek’s lips moved from her mouth along the curve
of her jaw to a sweet spot right beneath her earlobe. She caught her breath
when goosebumps traveled along her arms.
When they
stopped to catch their breath, Derek looked around as if expecting someone to
tap on his window and ask them to move along. Then he chuckled, and the low
rumble of his laughter warmed Elly even more. “I feel like a teenager, making
out in the car, don’t you? I guess I’d better get you home.”
Elly
nodded and moved back to her side of the truck.
He’s right, of course. But, ooooh, he’s a good kisser.
*BLUEBONNETS FOR ELLY falls into the sweet category. There's plenty of fooling around and sexual tension between Derek and Elly, but when they get down to the nitty gritty, the bedroom door is closed.
