This is Kay and I'm hosting the meme this week while Maya is away. I'm reading Harlot at the Homestead by Molly Ann Wishlade.
Here's the opener:
“Kenan!”
The cry pierced the night like a flaming arrow. “Help me!”
Kenan
jumped to his feet, instantly alert. Just moments ago he’d been slumped in the
fireside chair, losing the battle against exhaustion as the rain pattering
against the windows and the crackling of the fire had lulled him to sleep.
After two months on the cattle trail, he’d been relieved to be back at the
Duggan homestead and his mind and body had begun to unwind.
But
someone needed help. He grabbed his gun belt from the floor by the chair and
fastened it around his waist.
"Kenan!"
The anguished cry came again, carried on a voice filled with pain and fear.
Here's the teaser:
Catherine
emerged from behind Rosie and Kenan held his breath. He dug his fingernails
into his palms to try to still their trembling. As she walked toward him, he
glared at the vision who had haunted his day dreams, screamed for his help and
protection in his nightmares and robbed him of all belief in his masculinity.
~ page 3 ePub, Harlot at the Homestead by Molly Ann Wishlade
Here's the blurb:
When Catherine Montgomery shows up at
Kenan Duggan’s homestead, she expects him to be surprised. She’s been gone two
years and she’s devastated to hear that her former fiancé was forced to give
her up for dead.
Catherine never stopped thinking about Kenan and hoped that they’d be reunited one day. She has suffered at the hands of another but nothing tortured her as much as being apart from the man she loves. She doubts, however, that Kenan will be able to forgive her when she reveals her secrets.
As Kenan battles his desire for revenge, their mutual desire reawakens like a creek bed in the rain, and soon they are swept up in rediscovering their all-consuming passion.

-Kimberly @ Turning the Pages
I really liked the first paragraph and the teaser. A little bit of mystery there. The only thing that didn't grab me was the plot description. I'm not sure about the whole book. I'd probably read the first chapter before deciding.
ReplyDeleteAt least, he's willing to help a person in trouble. He's quick to grab his gun belt. He doesn't seem like a mean guy.
ReplyDeleteLove the teasers! Sounds like my kind of read!
ReplyDeleteThanx for visiting my TT
