Rainbow Snippet April 15-16

4/15/2017

5 Comments

 
It's weekend, and time for more Rainbow Snippets. The Rainbow Snippets group on Facebook asks its members to share six sentence snippets from their work each weekend. Check out the group's Facebook page to read all the snippets and add lots of great books to your tbr. You'll find all sorts of books with the common thread that the main character identifies as LGBTQ+.

This week, I have a snippet with Cathal and Flavian from The Artist's Masquerade for you. We're in Flavian's point of view here. 
Picture





​He watched Cathal, focusing only on him, on the way he moved, sinuous and graceful, a bit incongruous for someone so tall and well built. He held his breath as Cathal came near, turning as Cathal passed behind him, a hairsbreadth away. Flavian’s skin prickled at the proximity, and he let out a shuddering breath when Cathal moved away again.


His hopes that Cathal hadn’t noticed were dashed when Cathal looked at him over his shoulder, a knowing smile curving his full lips. And how he wished that smile didn’t make heat curl through his middle. He could not think of Cathal that way, could not let Cathal affect him that way.  
​

You can find out more about The Artist's Masquerade here. And, The Artist's Masquerade and the other Tournai books are all 25% off at Dreamspinner this weekend. Thanks for stopping by and reading!
