Good morning, Sixers!
Today we begin my promotional binge of excerpts from About Last Night, which releases June 11. Should you be bowled over with its wonderfulness and wish to preorder, there are links off the Books page.
In today’s excerpt, we meet the hero, whose name our heroine, Cath, doesn’t know yet. She calls him City. She’s waiting with a friend at the train station and predicting his arrival in three…two…one.
“Tall blond man in an expensive suit, Financial Times under his arm,” she said, then added, “Possibly a cyborg.”
Thirty seconds ticked by, and City rose into view, punctual as ever and way too good looking to be human.
Cath had a soft spot for City. From the moment she’d spied him waiting for the train to Bank last winter, he’d intrigued her. She’d given him the nickname as a nod to his profession, because everything about him announced he worked in the City of London, the square-mile financial district at the center of the metropolis: the dignified wool overcoat and scarf he’d worn all winter, the shined shoes, the ever-present newspaper. Aristocratically remote, he was Prince Charming in a suit.

Ruthie, I finished About Last Night. Where can I put a review except Goodreads & Amazon??
A new read to go find. nice one!
The whole book is great — I loved it. I think I might just have to re-read it, all in one sitting.
Oooh, Parker Hurley would be great. He wears the suit really well, but I also see him in a paint streaked shirt. Thanks for the visual!
Must read ALN this week. I’m dying to, but I know that once I start, I’m going to have to ignore the world until I’m finished.
Love the excerpt and her nickname for him.
I’m sure she’ll be learning his name sooner than later, a lot more besides LOL! Excellent excerpt!
Great description! Very nice six, and congrats on your upcoming release! Enjoy your Sunday
Love your six Ruthie…love his nickname coinciding with his looks…beautifully written!
Great six! Love Cath’s “voice” and her description of him!
Prince charming in a suit. LOVE THAT! Plus, Cath sounds like a lot of fun. Great job!
Beautifully described, l can see him clearly and purrr!
This is very nice. Good descriptions and the heroine seems a likeable person too.
Just skipped a boring session at the conference I’m at to finish ALN – it was the Queen’s pajamas! Review forthcoming. In this excerpt, I love “way too good looking to be human” – that’s a winner right there.
One of many of my fave moments in this wonderful story!
LOL “Prince Charming in a suit.” Great line, Ruthie, and great six. Congrats on your upcoming release!
“Prince Charming in a suit.” I love that, and the nickname “City” is just perfect! I love your casting choice too. Great six.
