Dancing in Circles on Weekend Writing Warriors #8sunday

LINK BACK TO WWWVictoria's Pages of Romance is back on WWW. I had a  problem with the connection between my Triberr and my blog, but I worked it out.

Welcome to another weekend of Weekend Writing Warriors. My 8 sentence snippet this week is from my first release from my NA contemporary romance – Dancing in Circles- Book 1 of Circles Trilogy.
Scene Set -We left Julie and Robert having lunch. He's the new boy in school and Julie has found herself attracted to him.


"Trish said you were staring at her in English," said Julie."I wasn't lookin' at her. I was lookin' at you."Julie felt a blush rush to her cheeks."Trish is usin' me. She wants to make Super Jock jealous and pay more attention to her.""But you're doing what she wants by fighting Stephan." Julie rested against the back of the booth."I'm gonna scare Stephan." Robert met her gaze and asked, "What's it to ya?"


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.

What people are saying about Dancing in Circles5 stars  - Julie I liked, but Robert, loved that guy. He's thrown some insurmountable circumstances to overcome, but he manages a way around it all quite nicely. While he may be the 'bad boy', he still has a heart of gold. The author did a nice job expressing that while we may not all travel the same paths in life, we still are essentially the same people and deserve happiness alike.
5 Stars - I loved the cover, as well as the story. I liked the school setting, and the description in the beginning of Julie and her friends. Julie is the dreamer, searching for a happy ending. I also liked Robert, who is a "bad boy" gang leader. "from the wrong side of the tracks," etc. One of Julie's relatives says he has a heart of gold, and he does. He's smart and practical and I think he's great.
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!
