Welcome back to another Saturday Spankings. Pull up a chair, take a seat and prepare for a long hot Saturday. The list is long this week so you can be sure you are in for some tasty treats. I am giving you another little teaser from my next Corbin's Bend novella, now with a shiny new title and a full first draft! Damn, that means edits....
So without futher ado, let me give you a little snippet from Forever Summer.
The background: Kieran has just arrived in Corbin's Bend. Ange and Jim have left him to his own devices for a few hours when Carla arrives to collect some blueprints. They get talking. Kieran asks about her parents, he's curious as he knows Carla's father is Jim's business partner and he asks if her parents live in Corbin's Bend.
“No, my folks live in Denver, they
were too settled to move. Mom has all her charities and things to keep her in
the city.”
“So what brought you here?”
Carla realised then that he
didn’t know a thing about the place. She had some vague recollection about Ange
saying something about their families being ashamed of the publicity. Sooner or
later he would find out. An unsuspecting vanilla in Corbin’s Bend for three
months: This was going to be fun! Carla
couldn’t help but wickedly wish to be present the moment the realisation dawned
on him.
I think Kieran's enlightenment should be entertaining. But will Carla get to see it, and would she even want to?
This is a blog hop. Say hello, or make a comment if you like. Thanks for dropping in before visiting the others on the links below, Have a great Saturday.
LOL, I'm rooting for Carla to be in on it!
ReplyDeleteGreat excerpt!
Can't wait to read this, Tara :)
She might or she might not be - you'll just have to wait and see :)
DeleteThanks Katherine
I want to be in on it too! Great snippet Tara! :)
ReplyDeleteLol, is there a bit of a voyeur in you Constance? :) Thank you.
DeleteThere's a little bit of voyeur in all of US Tara lol. :)
DeleteROFL.
DeleteI love that Carla got her own book, she's such a complex character!
ReplyDeleteShe is that for sure.
DeleteShe reminds me of that song,
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good, Oh Lord please don't let me be misunderstood - By the Animals I think.
Carla's story needs to be told.
ReplyDeleteI think she deserves her say at this stage. :) Thanks Leigh.
DeleteI am really looking forward to reading this. I'd like to see Carla get a happy ending (by way of a few spankings, natch.)
ReplyDeleteInteresting dynamic if the guy is the inexperienced one. We've had it the opposite way round a couple of times in Corbin's bend in Finding their Bliss and Long Shot.
Of course, maybe he isn't as unsuspecting or vanilla as she thinks. He is Jim's brother, after all.
Time will tell! But yes, it's an interesting dynamic indeed and a fun one to write.
DeleteThanks Etta.
I love that last line! LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks, Thianna.
DeleteAnother great addition to Corbin's Bend. Love the excerpt, Tara, and yes, Carla definitely deserves her own happy end (no pun intended).
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathryn,
DeleteLol, I think one happy end might lead to another ;)
Great snippet, Tara!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mary.
DeleteNice tease, Tara! I'm glad you're giving Carla a lap!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sher. Yes, she deserves her crack of the whip, so to speak. :)
DeleteShe should SO be there for the reveal. Exile to Unity has been my favorite of the Corbin's bend novels so far. Can't wait for Forever Summer.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jule.
DeleteYou are always a very kind reviewer/critic. Much appreciated.
