#1) He drew his face back, softening. “I didn’t mean to frighten you.” He then thumbed behind him. “You left your outside door unlocked. But don’t worry…I secured it behind me. Besides,” he added, purposefully drilling his pelvis into hers, “you had the music up so loud it was like a beacon.” He licked his lips. “Calling to me…”
* * *
#2) “Come on, say something,” he crooned for her. “I brought your favorite sandwich from Beacon Hill Bistro and all I get is a half-smile?” He set the food down next to him, and reached out, cupping her chin in his large hand. “Give me something, beautiful. I’ve never heard your voice and I’m betting it purrs like a kitten.” * * *
#3) “From the moment I first saw you, I knew you were someone I had to meet. And from the moment you danced with me, I knew I had found the only dance partner for me. For years, I had searched. No one had made me feel so sure of myself as you had. It was the reason I pursued you so adamantly. When I walked into your shop, I saw the real woman behind the passion. I’ve never felt this way for any other woman before. You moved me. You touched a place within me, once guarded by walls of wariness.”
* * *
#4) He took a deep breath of courage and imparted his desires. “You had painted me with such content on my face and I realized it was the only time I ever felt fulfilled. When I woke, the morning after I spent the night in your arms, I was truly satisfied. You gave me that sense of peace. Now, I know I don’t deserve to ask anything more of you than what I’ve already taken, but if you give me a chance, I can be the man you painted on that canvas.”
* * *
#5) He turned around abruptly with a shit-eating grin on his face. “You looking at my ass again?”

ReplyDeleteI like #5 - very playful, very alpha male. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies.
ReplyDeleteTina, you and I seem to be cut from the same mold. We both fancy the same lines. haha
Renee:
ReplyDeleteDefinitely like #4. I am moved by the protagonists being moved. I am moved when they reveal a little vulnerability--that, to me is the most endearing, appealing, and even sexy, thing about them.
Loving it. I'm such a sucker for an Alpha. :)
ReplyDeleteGod, even though I have already read it, I can't get enough of it.
ReplyDeleteWe should all have a Grayson...by the way...I love that name.
You've created a dangerous, dangerous man, Renee. I like him! Lol.
ReplyDeleteMy faves are #2 and #5.
Always a good read from you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting the work out there.
I think #5 is my favorite! Love them all.
ReplyDeleteNumber 4 is beautiful but number 5... just oozes personality!
ReplyDeleteWow I am fanning my self. Grayson is such a hero. I will be buying the book next week. I cannot wait.

Yeah #5 makes me laugh every time! I love Grayson's cool swagger. I ate it up when I was writing him.
ReplyDeleteAnd Michelle, THANK YOU. I do hope you enjoy the whole book...you'll have to let me know when you're through.
Thanks for the feedback everyone! These are so cool to read.
Again I like all of them as they are more revealing of his personality, and his detemination of not letting her get away.
ReplyDeleteAll alpha!
Love the last one especially...*S*
Thank you for these quotes!
Makes me wnat this book even more *S*

I held my breath reading #4. Just wonderful.

You know, I've told my husband on may occasions why I like my heroes and how I love what they say to the heroines of the story. And he looks at me strangely and says "But it's YOU who writes what they say..."
ReplyDelete*Big sigh* He just doesn't get it. haha
Thanks for being with me today!
They are all great, but #3 and #4 make me melt. lisa gk at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteThey're all good, Renee, but I liked #1 best because it had an element of suspense in it. Smile.

Renee,
ReplyDeleteI just love Grayson's character. He's a gorgeous, broody, snarky, sexy Alpha male.
He's a typical smart ass, quick witted Alpha. Just look at the last quote about his ass. He knows he's gorgeous and he points out when you notice that.
But what I love most, is he let his vunablity show when he told her how he felt about the painting and how he went about finding her.
Grayson probably never ever experienced that little bit of weakness for a woman.
I find it sexy. Thanks Renee for another good read. Also thank you for the contest. Oh I have a neice whose name is Grayson.
She's a pain in the butt, lol.

Teresa, you have a niece named Grayson? I don't believe I've ever heard that name for a female. Interesting...
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, Grayson does know he is sexy but he is also the smart ass you think him to be. I really love his character!
Love the dialog you chose. The book is amazing. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank YOU Sarah for visiting!
ReplyDeleteI love that last line! LOL. Of course she's checking out his ass again. Great line excerpts!
