Welcome back for a sneak peek into the third chapter of A Heart Not Easily Broken, Book 1 of The Butterfly Memoirs!
Chapter 3 takes us back to Ebony's POV. After meeting sexy bass guitarist, Brian Young, at a nightclub during a Girl's Night Out with her friends, and ignoring his attempt to get to know her, she figured she'd never see him again. Two days later, he shows up at her house, hired by her roommate to cut their grass. Discovering there is more to the blue-eyed hunk than sexy hands on a guitar is an eye opener. How will she respond?

Standing this close to a shirtless Brian has Ebony struggling to keep her eyes straight ahead. She asks how much the yard work is going to cost. Instead of answering her question, he asks one of his own: why did she not meet him in the VIP section of the club? After some witty banter, lol, it comes down to this:
I rolled my eyes. “I’m an educated
black woman with a good head on my shoulders, not some ‘ho from the hood. If
that’s what you want, then I suggest you go take a ride down−”
Brian’s dimples popped as his lips
pulled back in a hearty laugh. He shook his head. “I knew there was something
about you I liked.”
Gotta love a man who refuses to let a woman's fuming get in the way of his attraction to her!
Alright peeps! As the countdown clock shows, there's ONE MORE WEEK before publication day! Whoo Hoo! Be sure to come back for the final Six Sentence Sunday post of A Heart Not Easily Broken!

ROTFL! I love this couple. She keeps trying to tell him off, assuming he only wants one thing, and he keeps telling her how much he likes her...not some "‘ho from the hood".
ReplyDeleteShe was just flustered by his shirtless body, I think, so she's taking it out on him. ;)
Sounds like a GREAT read!
ReplyDelete@Carmen, oh she's BEYOND flustered! Try as she might, its struggle to ignore his half naked body, wickedly charming grin, and those devilish blue eyes! Be sure to come back next week for the FINAL #Six Sunday share! What happens next leaves her absolutely speechless!
ReplyDeleteThank you for dropping by, Alexa! Glad you enjoyed the post!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE how he hangs in there, determined to get around her defenses. I hope she gives him a chance soon...excellent excerpt as always!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I like his reaction to her angry rant as well. Go Brian! Thanks for sharing, MJ.
