An unexpected reunion…Rodeo Blues @KMNbooks @RebeccaJVickery #8sunday #snippetsunday
Enjoy a snippet from RODEO BLUES. Feedback is always appreciated.
If you're interested in last week's snippet of Rodeo Blues here you go: Chapter 3, snippet 5
Snippet: This takes place a few paragraphs later from last week. Inside Big Bob's Saloon, Tye spots Sonny and Mike (friends from his youth) by the stage, setting up their band equipment. He hasn't spoken to them in ten years, and isn't sure how they'll react to his return. Tye decides it's time to find out.
This is in Tye's POV.
*The excerpt may have been modified to fit the 10 sentence limit.
*********************************************************************************
"Hey, boys." Tye said in greeting.Both men turned toward him in unison. Mike was the first to recognize him and let out a whooping yell of greeting before he grabbed hold of him and pounded his back.
Tye stood six-two, Mike was two inches taller and solid muscle. He'd forgotten how strong Mike was and had to catch his balance after his friendly how-do-you-do of a welcome.
Sonny offered a handshake. "Hey Casper, thought we heard the last of you when you skedaddled out of here to ride them bulls."
"I told you I'd be back."
Sonny's dark brows rose. "Didn't realize it would be a decade later."
***********************************************************************************
Seems like Mike has no trouble with Tye's return, but what about Sonny? Seem a little standoffish to you?
Hope you enjoyed the snippet.

Blurb:
Eight Seconds to Lose the Girl…
One chance to win her back.
Tye Casper, a.k.a. the Ghost Rider and champion bull rider, should be the happiest cowboy alive, but when he left home ten years ago to make it big, he said goodbye to the only woman he has ever loved. He's had his eight seconds of glory, but without Jolie Lockhart by his side, the wins mean nothing.
He's been given an opportunity to return home to Skeeter Blue for one last rodeo. He believes fate has sent him there and he'll have a second chance with Jolie, but nothing goes as planned. He soon realizes staying seated on a bull for eight seconds may prove much simpler than winning Jolie's heart.
