Teaser Tuesday 3.30.10

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading and it asks us to...

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share a couple of “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn't give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other Teaser Tuesday participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teasers!

Isalys's Teaser:

"He wanted to make this one kiss they would remember forever. He slid his arm around her waist and lifted her until most of her weight settled over him. She lowered her lips to his, but just as the soft warmth of her breath fluttered across his lips, her eyes opened in shock and she was yanked off him.

Kate cried out.

As Garrett surged up, he saw the blunt edge of a cudgel an instant before it slammed down over the scar on his forehead. Agony rocketed through his skull. And then there was nothing."

~ p. 78 from "A Touch of Scandal" by Jennifer Haymore

Note: Sorry guys, I just couldn't condense this scene down to two sentences. But if any of you read the prequel, "Hint of Wicked" then you know that the shit is about to hit the fan!!


Vanessa's Teaser:
"They were nose to nose, and mouth to mouth. Violet was intrigued by this side of him... the confident, no-nonsense side, refusing to take no for an answer. She leaned forward and sighed as her lips barely brushed against his."

~ p. 222 from "The Body Finder" by Kimberly Derting
