Here's a small sample:
We stare at each other during dinner. I'm staring at her because she possesses a casual beauty that quite literally and quite frequently takes my breath away. Since she doesn't do much gasping when I enter a room, my guess is that she's staring at me for a different reason.
And another . . .
Suddenly, Singer's face brightens. "Wait a minute, I heard about this," he says to Laurie. "You kicked his *ss, right? The guys were talking about it."
"He slipped and fell," she says. "I just neglected to catch him."
He turns to me. What were you doing while the lady was punching him out? Holding her purse?"
His question confirms my low opinion of his intelligence. He knows nothing; the fact is that Laurie wasn't even carrying a purse that night. It was more of a handbag.
I've only read one book in this series, but I really enjoyed it, so I'm looking forward to more!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read anything by this author, but I've great things about the series. Hopefully one day I'll get to it. I am glad you liked it so much, Joy!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got back to this series and enjoyed it again. It's one of those series I buy because both The Hubster and I read them.
ReplyDeleteAndy is great and Tara is the best dog EVER!!
I've never heard of this series but it does sound good and I love the snippets you posted!
ReplyDeleteI keep hearing great things about this series. I should get the first two or three to read on vacation this summer. They sound like they'd be perfect for long flights or sitting by the pool or beach.
ReplyDeleteBermudaonion ~ If you enjoyed one, you'll most likely enjoy them all. :)
ReplyDeleteLiterary Feline ~ Even though their length and wit keeps them on the light side, they are very good books. Hope you do give one a try.
Suzi ~ I think Mr. Joy has read the first one, but I'm not positive. I have 3 more on my TBR Shelves, so I'm looking forward to more. I won't wait as long this time. You know how it is though, so many books . . .
Staci ~ I love Andy. I hope you get the opportunity to meet him.
Les ~ Oh yes! They are perfect for the scenarios you mentioned. Go for it! :)
