Spotlight on a hockey romance - The Right Kind of Mistake - by Rebecca Thomas

Happy Leap Day

Today Rebecca Thomas has brought along her latest -

Unlucky in love, Haylie Keene can’t believe she’s dating another hockey player--especially her ex boyfriend’s former teammate. Sexy as hell Cam Erickson is impossible to resist, but Haylie's doubts keep her from jumping in with her whole heart. And when her ex makes a play to win her back, she’s completely torn.

Cam doesn't know the meaning of giving less than a hundred percent, whether it's to win a hockey game or Haylie’s heart. So when it looks like she might choose her cheating ex over him, he’s unwilling to sit the bench while she makes up her mind.

When Haylie realizes she might lose Cam, she knows she must fight to keep him. But can she thaw the ice around his heart before the last buzzer sounds on their relationship?

Excerpt

“You need to quit kissing me so I can think.”His lips drifted back toward mine, but I placed my hand on his warm chest to stop him. I had officially become a flake. Hot for him one minute, cold the next. I was mad at myself so I could hardly blame him if he was mad at me too.“I’m letting my past and my insecurities interfere.” I had to find a way to make him understand. “I want to be your girlfriend when I’m – ”“Stop.” He raised his hand. “I like the sound of that. Say it again?”The guy was incorrigible. “Which part?” I blinked. “The part about being insecure?”“No, the girlfriend part.” He tipped his head to the side and made a circling motion with his hand. “The part about you wanting to be my girlfriend.”“I do, but – ”“No buts.” His teeth nipped at my neck, then skated along my skin, leaving a trail of goosebumps behind.I pushed at his chest, still uncertain about what I was going to say. “Are you going to let me talk?”He sighed. “Yes. Go ahead.”“The problem is me.” I pointed to my breastbone. “I’m the one with all these issues. You’re golden, but I’m not.”“I’m not golden,” he replied, a dead serious look in his eyes.“Yes, you are. What’s not to like about you? You have everything. You’re the entire package.” Whereas I’m the once-upon-a-time girlfriend who sat on a shelf and doesn’t know how to be in a relationship anymore.“Yeah.” He nodded his head. “That’s what I keep telling you.”I laughed. I couldn’t help myself. I was talking and yet I didn’t know what I was going to say. I was still on the fence. The idea of trusting someone again was too much, but how could I push him away? “Anyway, as I was saying, I’m the problem. I’ve been burned. I’m not prepared to be burned again.”“Haylie,” he reached out and took my hand. “That’s not fair. Don’t judge me by other guys.”I squeezed his hand. He was so warm and good. I wanted to trust him. “I know it’s not fair and I hate feeling this way. I just need a little time.”

Palm Forehead - Again?!?! Victoria tries to be on Weekend Writing Warriors #8Sunday

Link back to WWW








Of the 3 past weeks - twice - TWICE - I have forgotten to sign up. Months and months - Sunday after Sunday and all of a sudden - bam. Okay I'm done ranting at myself. So here's last week's post - again.



Kim Magennis and Naomi Shaw – thank you for tracking me down. You've already ready and commented on this week's post. But I'll still pop over and read your post for this week.


From Dancing in Circles - NA contemporary romance.
Scene set -Robert is meeting Stephan in a challenge. Just as the fight was about to start - Robert's friends arrived.
WARNING - Language. Note - Robert and friends are wearing black leather jackets - so - not boys scouts :-)



Robert stepped closer. "Ya get one shot. Make it good. 'Cause then I'm gonna break your fuckin' face."Stephan swung. Robert caught the punch and turned his fist. His knuckles were close to Stephan's face. "Continue or concede?""Concede." Stephan's voice cracked. Robert released him.








Blurb – One born into privilege and a charmed life surrounded by love and family. The other born to a life of violence on the streets as the solemn gang leader of the notorious Shoresmen. A young, idealistic co-ed, Julie, meets a jaded, cold gang member, Robert, and cracks his icy shell, allowing the warmth of her love to awaken his soul.
Amazon






5 Stars - Author Victoria Adams does an excellent job at bringing characters to life. I really enjoyed living through Julie's dream of becoming a dancer and her connection with Robert. Yeah, Robert may have gotten himself in the wrong crowd, but he really does portray a compassionate person and in the end he really does grow on you. Can't wait to see the next one in the series!

Welcome to the 130th week of My Sexy Saturday #MySexySaturday #MSS130

Welcome to the 130thweek of My Sexy Saturday. This week’s theme: A Sexy Paranormal Love


No actual paranormal story - but things happen in Red Tulip that aren't exactly predictable.
Darcy discovers a red tulip that a mystery person has given her. She puts it in a vase, when she returns there are 2.



My heart jumped when I saw the empty vase. "But…there were…first there was one, then another appeared, and now…now they've disappeared."I glanced at Shamus. What was I reading on his face – disbelief? No, curiosity. I followed his gaze to the table. Next to the vase lay a piece of paper with a single sentence on it.








Blurb - Darcy O'Calahann, a junior gardener from a small mid-western town, is trying to make her way in the big city.Shamus McTavis is a wealthy bachelor with a mysterious family past.Are Darcy's eyes playing tricks on her? Is she losing her mind? Or is there really a Red Tulip tying her and Shamus together?

Another episode of my Flash Fiction - Sunrise and another point for the Ruby-Slippered Sisterhood #amwriting #flashfiction

I'm multitasking. I've decided to start the rewrite of my flash fiction - Sunrise and get it ready for publication under the Romantic Flashes series. Sunrise will probably be a 2 book series – novella in length.

Also, I'm participating the Ruby Slippered Sisterhood which in Jan and Feb holds a writing challenge to score 50 points. You set up how you will collect your points and then try to meet your challenge.

example - 1 point for attending yoga class (because an author has to stay healthy)

1 points for writing a chapter (2 points if it's over 5,000 - lol)
1 point for editing a chapter and putting it on blog 

What is a flash fiction? I belonged to a group that posted weekly prompts that were to inspire us. I added the personal challenge of using as many as I could in my weekly chapters. Some weren't suitable as this is a sweet romance story and some of the pictures or written prompts were on the "hot" side.

Chapter 6
Anger and sadness filled J’dol as he vaulted off Sian’s deck and raced towards the protection of the forest. Once inside, he slowed, glancing over his shoulder to see if he was being followed. He was alone. Not a soul insight.His shoulder smacked against a tree's rough bark. J'dol winced and grabbed his arm. He needed to find a place to hide and to dig the wood out his flesh before sickness set in.He peered back towards the cabin. Sian. How could she honour them? He clenched and released his fists. The Miz-hapen. The life-sucking leeches who killed his family and destroyed his village. J’dol rubbed his face. Sian seemed so innocent and sweet. And beautiful.He stepped between an opening in the trees which led to a dock with a small structure attached to it. Crossing the dock, he jumped into the water, dove under the edge of the structure and surfaced inside. He tossed his sword and pack onto the walkway. Water streamed off him as he climbed onto the walkway. He swiped his hand over his face. Raising an eyebrow, he shook his head. These people must also revere the Miz-hapen. Only very rich people would waste precious resources to build a house for their boat. He glanced around the spacious interior, imagining the look of delight on his sister, Odine’s, face. If she had a home this large, she would be the happiest woman ever. A stab of pain hit his heart. If she were alive.He bent down to pick up his sword, but the injury to his back made him stop and hiss. He gritted his teeth, bent lower and grabbed it. The sword was his safety. He must never be without it. Odine’s embroidered peacock on the back of his pack snagged his attention. Imagesof her, Tu-a and Ra-no flashed through his mind. The only family he had left and now they were gone.The protection of the symbol of the peacock had spared him his life. A life that he vowed to use to discover what happened to him and then wreak havoc and revenge on the Miz-hapen. He surveyed the interior of the house for the boat. No place to safely hide. He had to keep running. Determination fueled his exit as he slipped out of the boat house and into the forest.Once in the protection of the trees, he followed the scent of seasoned roasting meat. It had enticed his senses and empty stomach since he fled Sian’s. Peering between two bushes, he watched a man flip over several large pieces of meat on a tall, shiny kind of campfire. A female’s voice sounded from the house. The man yelled over his shoulder, “Coming, honey.” He closed the lid and entered the house. J’dol scurried out of the trees and stumbled. His right leg refusing to hold his weight. Hopping on one and dragging his hurt leg, he worked his way over to the above-the-ground-campfire machine and lifted the lid. The mouth-watering aroma hit him harder than a death bomb. His stomach rumbled in protest at being empty and in delight at an expected meal. J’dol reached in to grab the meat, but the temperature was too hot. He stepped back, drew his sword, pierced his meal, closed the lid and limped back into the forest.Finding a safe place, near the water, but still hidden by bushes, J’dol didn’t wait for his meal to cool. He placed it on the back of his backpack, pulled out a knife and sliced off a chunk. He raised his knife, licked his lips and opened his mouth.“Stop!”J’dol paused. His stomach rumbled in protest.The sound of a runner's heavy labored breathing drew his attention. He popped the meat into his mouth and chewed as he pushed a branch aside to peer out at the beach. A man raced up the beach towards him, running as if death were on his heels.“Stop!”Behind him, J’dol watched two men, like the uniformed ones who had visited Sian’s home, chasing and yelling at the runner. He slipped back behind the bush and cut off another chunk of meat. Using his teeth, he pulled it off the tip of his blade.Bushes rustled nearby. J’dol stopped chewing and breathing. His ears alert.“Gotcha.”A uniformed man dove out of the bushes and tackled the running man. They wrestled, but soon the uniformed man pinned the other onto the sand. He knelt with his knee in the man’s back. His two partners raced up beside him and stopped. They drew in large gulps of air.“Good job, Mathews.” He poked the prisoner with the toe of his boot. “Trying to break into empty cottages, eh? Never heard of alarm systems? Cuff’em and let’s get out of here. It’s too hot to be chasing anyone down.”The kneeling man pulled out round, shiny bracelets and clasped them around his prisoner’s wrists then he dragged him to his feet. With a small push on the shoulder, he urged the man forward. One of the other uniformed men stood and glanced about. “Wait!” He pointed to the forest. “There’s another one.”

It is defintiely still winter - SnowShoeing. #photographs #ThursThoughts

Last Monday, my hubby and I went snowshoeing. It was a spectacular day. There wasn't a cloud anywhere to be seen. It was  -7 (19F) and no wind.  We'd recently had a storm that came down as snow, ice pellets, freezing rain then snow.
Everywhere was a blank of pristine beauty. We live in the country. The fields were vast expanses of white. The trees were coated with ice. Both reflected the snow to add to the days brightness and the sun danced on the ice, making everything sparkle.
Here are a some photographs to enjoy. 

This is the back part of the back yard.
Yup, that's me. Bundled up in several layers.

From the far edge of one of our fields looking towards the house.

lol - yes, the house is there - you have to look really, really closely at the further row of trees. It's about a 1/2 kilometer from that edge of the field to the house. I think that's about a third of a mile.

Man up, dude, and get this over with on this week's Book Hooks #MFRWAuthor #MFRWhooks

Scene set - Robert is currently living with Julie and her parents. Julie has hinted that she "wants to chat."



Knocking the pile of clothes off the bed, he changed in to a dry sweatshirt and jeans and left everything else in a lump in the centre of the floor. Back in the kitchen, while the pizza heated, he scoured the fridge for a cold beer, but had to settle for a Coke. When he'd eaten, he sat staring at the table. He didn't want to go upstairs and confront Julie. He couldn't figure out what he could have possibly done wrong. He rubbed his face. Man up, dude, and get this over with. With a big sigh, he headed to Julie's room.






Is the love of a girl from wealthy Westland and a street punk from the slums of the Shore strong enough to surpass all that life will throw at them and forge a life together? Is Julie willing to sacrifice her childhood dream of becoming a professional dancer for the man she loves? Is Robert willing to lay down his ties to the gang in order to hold onto his new found love?
Sacrifices must be made, but will they be enough?

About the Author
Mary Montague Sikes grew up near the bloody Civil War battlefields of Central Virginia where thousands died. Those early years in a landscape where tears still flowed sparked her interest in the psychic and the paranormal that carries over into her writing today.

Sikes loves to travel, especially to the Caribbean and Jamaica where she discovered the legend of the White Witch of Rose Hall Great House that inspired her first novel, Hearts Across Forever. More psychic encounters in Sedona, Arizona led to her novel, Eagle Rising. Adventures in Antigua became the book, Secrets by the Sea. Then, an escapade in Trinidad developed into the story of Night Watch. Her love of "Indiana Jones" type quests took her to the Maya Ruins of Palenque and eventually directed her to write Jungle Jeopardy.

She has been told by readers that her novel, Daddy's Christmas Angel, set in a small fictitious American town, is the "best book I've ever read". The romance is a little like "Sleepless in Seattle" and has a happy ending.

From Red Tulip - Which is where my gaze had locked on to... #MySexySaturday #MSS129

Welcome to the 129thweek of My Sexy Saturday.
This week’s theme: Our Sexy Mystery
This week’s theme is Our Sexy Mystery and this is our nod to the mystery and romantic suspense authors. Nothing like a good mystery to get a great romance started. Show us your most romantic or frustration relationships all with a flair for the mysterious. 
 I - sort of - have a romance with with a hint of mystery. In Red Tulip - Darcy keeps seeing someone that isn't there - red tulips appear out of nowhere and a message on a paper changes from one language to another. Darcy's never sure if it's happening or if she's losing her mind!
I couldn't scurry myself fast enough into my apartment. I bolted both locks and placed the burglar bar against the door. No matter how much I was aroused by the thought of him being in my residence, hell was going to freeze before he did. He'd already gotten into my shed and slipped onto my subway car. Who was he?Shaking him from my thoughts, I placed the tulip in a vase with water and put it on the small table next to the sofa. After showering, I dressed in a comfy top and yoga pants then tossed supper into the microwave. The seconds counted down. Not only timing the heating of my meal, but pointing out the minutes, hours, days and weeks since I had visited with my family. I rested my forehead on the photo of home taped to my fridge door. The scene out our backdoor. Mirror Lake bounded by trees dwarfed by snow-capped mountains.It had been one of my dreams, to come to the "Big City." The other was to work with flowers, possibly in a flower shop, hopefully on an estate. Both goals had been achieved.I held back a sniff. Then why was I so sad?Ding.Using an oven mitt, I hauled my dinner out of the microwave, and then pulled a fork from the drawer, tucking it into my back pocket. I peeled the plastic off the tray and disposed of it. Balancing the hot tray on one hand and grabbing a Diet Coke from the fridge, I padded into my living room to settle down to dinner and a dose of Dr. Phil.I never made it to dinner. My meal flipped out of my hand and landed roast turkey, mashed potatoes and corn side down on my foot. My Diet Coke hit the floor sideways and rolled towards the table next to my couch. Which is where my gaze had locked on two red tulips in the vase. 



Blurb - Darcy O'Calahann, a junior gardener from a small mid-western town, is trying to make her way in the big city.Shamus McTavis is a wealthy bachelor with a mysterious family past.Are Darcy's eyes playing tricks on her?
