Everyone knew everyone else and, while he made brave attempts to keep introducing her, the curious glances she received did nothing to make her feel welcome.<br /> “Sorry ’bout that,” he offered after another brief reunion. “I was out last night and thought I’d more or less seen most of my friends.”<br /> “Well, you obviously have more friends than you know.” She stood, uncomfortable under the gaze of his ozone blue eyes, and shifted around to look through the crowd. “I guess I’m something of a curiosity, a novelty, huh?”<br /> “Well…”<br /> “Do they expect to see you with someone else? Did you leave a girlfriend behind?”<br /> “Nope. No girlfriend.” <br /> Jake put his elbows back on the bar before he took a swig of his drink. Her gaze ran over his lean, muscular body and found it difficult to believe one of the local belles hadn’t scooped him up. ‘Lanky’ was a word made for this Texan, and when the black hair<br />grew in, he’d be downright irresistible.<br /> But not to her; he wasn’t Steven, and a sudden yearning flowed through her veins like poison from a snakebite<br />Andrea Downinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11553961600937196102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418615068820902521.post-7097903409669335342015-02-27T16:45:54.014-04:002015-02-27T16:45:54.014-04:00I love Arabs!

I've never been to a Texas BBQ before - it sure beats the pants off our typical Kiwi one. The food! The music! The dancing! I love it. <br /><br />Congratulations, Andrea on the release of Dances of the Heart. What a fabulous-sounding book! I LOVE that excerpt! Any man that can effortlessly teach me to dance and look good doing it has my vote of hot hero material :) But there are TWO romances in this story - wow! How on earth did you manage to decide on which excerpt to concentrate on? Perhaps you could share a short one on the other couple?<br /><br />If you're looking for me ladies, I've just spied some of Jake's pals in the corner. I'm off to drag them out onto the dance floor :)LaVerne Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10418742073687153863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418615068820902521.post-49207531750513141532015-02-27T15:48:49.307-04:002015-02-27T15:48:49.307-04:00Well, Ray, of course, breeds Arabs on his ranch an...Well, Ray, of course, breeds Arabs on his ranch and Carrie and Paige used to own horses.
