Because he's North Shore - 8 sentences from Dancing in Circles on Weekend Writing Warriors

Link back to WWW
From Dancing in Circles - NA contemporary romance. To catch everybody back up - Robert is the new kid at school - final year of a prep school. Julie is in all of his classes. The other students don't like Robert as he is "not one of them" - not of the same social status. Julie finds herself drawn to him and when he is removed from class and searched by the police she races to his defence. Mr. Parks, his teacher has also arrived. Julie speaks first.




"He has rights, and I'd say every one of them's been violated. Does anyone care? No. And why not? Because he's North Shore. Well, who died and made us Westlanders God?"Mr. Parks put a hand on Julie's arm. "She's right, you know."




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.

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!

One final Snippet from Christmas Knight on Book Hooks #MFRWhooks #MFRWAuthor

From the newly released anthology of Christmas stories -a snippet from Christmas Knight
Tamara is on a holiday crusie and she's upset her parents missed their flight and they won't be together at Christmas. A voice behind her just asked - "When it's such a beautiful evening - dark sky, twinkling stars, soft tropical breeze, why would anyone so beautiful be so sad?"




Her gaze met the crystal blue eyes she'd noticed in the audience. Her brain seized and her vocal cords froze. Aware the man standing before her was waiting for an answer, Tamara managed a weak shrug and a loud sniffle. She lowered her head. Oh, great, I look a mess. All red-eyed and snotty-nosed, and he's standing there looking like a Dolce and Gabbana model. Kill. Me. Now.

Whew - made it through the craziness. All that's left is clean up and finish the turkey leftovers. This is the final snippet of Christmas Knight - until next year :-)
Tamara managed a weak shrug and a loud sniffle. She lowered her head. Oh, great, I look a mess. All red-eyed and snotty-nosed, and he's standing there looking like a Dolce and Gabbana model. Kill. Me. Now.She swiped at a tear with her fist and lifted her gaze. He waved a handkerchief before her. A teasing smile crossed his lips, making her heart flutter.
