Rainbow Snippet August 19-20

8/19/2017

11 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+.

I'm continuing snippets from The Dragon's Devotion today, leading up to release day on September 4th. Last week, I shared the snippet of Bastien first seeing Corentin. Today, I thought I would give you Corentin's perspective on the moment. He noticed Bastien and has been watching him for a couple minutes.
Picture






​Suddenly, the other man’s gaze collided with Corentin’s, and everything seemed to freeze for a moment as the connection held. Corentin couldn’t make out the color of his eyes from the distance—something dark, he thought. But he could see them go wide, a bit startled, and Corentin smiled, slow and sure. He had no idea why this man had captured his interest in one look, but he dearly wanted to find out if longer exposure would bear it out, perhaps deepen it.

​He gave himself a stern mental shake. What was he doing, thinking of starting an affair with anyone? He had to leave, not become more deeply enmeshed in Tournai and its people.

If you'd like to know more about The Dragon's Devotion or to preorder, you can find it here. There's also still time to enter my Birthday Giveaway for a chance to win a backlist book of mine (go enter!). Thanks for stopping by!

I don't think he'll be leaving any time soon, not when he has those interesting eyes (and their owner) to keep him there.

He may have to leave, but the heart knows what it wants... :)

I simply love reading about guys who are like, "it's not the right time to start anything because blah blah blah" and then totally fall for it. :D
I just realises we have the same release day. Yay!

You're going to have to stay, Corentin. ;)
I felt a tingle down my spine while reading this.

Another smoldering moment...I love the line about Corentin's smile being slow and sure. (fans self)

Wonder which part of him is going to win the argument?

Sometimes that one look is all it takes to change your entire world.

Sometimes, you just don't have a choice. I really liked this bit... fate in action.

I'm betting he doesn't leave.

Something tells me he won't be leaving so quickly after all.
