Today I'm setting up my Christmas stuff! I'm so excited! I also managed to finish Nano last Sunday. Editing is going to be a nightmare. LOL
After Reine's gloomy thoughts from last week, today we get a glimpse into Mystique's mind.
Enjoy the snippet and have a lovely day!

Mystique
slid into the seat next to the sexy hunk she’d been trying hard not to stare at
all night. Scratch that -she’d been trying not to ogle him since he’d walked into
the bar late one night a few weeks ago. Damn, that night she hadn’t been the
only one left gaping as he strutted inside and ordered a beer.
Fortunately
for her, the novelty wore off on most other women quite soon. After all, he was
no Jake Gyllenhaal or Brad Pitt. He tended toward the darker side of the
spectrum. More like Charlie Hunnam in Sons
of Anarchy but with black hair. He was the kind of man mothers warned their
daughters about. Mystique could almost hear her own mother warning her that a
man with tattoos and long hair spelled nothing but trouble. The bad kind.

Is there a good kind of trouble? Maybe, like, the kind of trouble that thinks about marriage?
ReplyDeleteI think all girls want Charlie Hunnam kind of trouble, even for one night!! Lol. Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteHahahaha. Yep, mothers might dislike his kind of men but girls sure do love them.
ReplyDeleteHe sounds very 'interesting'. Irresistible, in fact! What is a girl supposed to do with that sort of temptation?

ReplyDeleteBest to listen to mommy, girl. I sense trouble ahead.
ReplyDeleteI get the feeling she is not going to heed those warnings from her mum, lol. Great snippet. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe can't help but be attracted to those men our mothers warned us about. It's like our inner teenager rebelling again. lol. Great snippet, and congrats on finishing NaNo!
ReplyDeleteHe's a bad boy indeed. ;)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on surviving NaNo! This is a great snippet. Who needs Brad Pitt when you have hunky tattoo guy at the end of the bar?
ReplyDeleteLoving this story. He has no idea who he's dealing with.
ReplyDeleteBut trouble can be highly intriguing...enjoyed the excerpt!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds as though she is planning on putting mother's warning right to the back of her mind. He does sound rather delicious.
ReplyDeleteThere's something attractive about a rogue. Great snippet
ReplyDeleteGotta love those bad boy and she's not about to take Mom's advice. Nice clip, Elyzabeth!
ReplyDeleteWell, she wouldn't be the first, or the last woman to fall for a bad boy against her mother's advice!
ReplyDeleteBad boys, bad boys. She's gonna get burned. LOL Great snippet.
ReplyDeleteI've met some very nice, nerdy guys with long hair and tattoos. But I suspect this particular isn't nice and sweet!
ReplyDeleteGotta love the bad boys! Great snippet!!
