Her stare locked on Shaun, and she watched him grab his bag from the foot of the bed and stride toward the exit. The hotel room’s been paid for, so ya can spend the night and make the most of it. We can call it a day if you prefer or we can enjoy the rest of the evening. “Ya definitely not what I expected, either, but here we are. I’m not what ya expected.” Shaun, hands firmly rooted in his pockets, shrugged his shoulders. “For biting your head off when you tried to help.”

Hell, I.I’m sorry for losing it.” He raised an eyebrow. “Listen, Shaun, I’m sorry about the way I came down on you. “Ya, that a problem?” God I love his Irish brogue. Her stomach flip- flopped around the butterflies dancing in her gut. She couldn’t remember the last time she’d felt this nervous. She sat on the nearest thing to her, a dining chair from the breakfast for two set, and chewed at her freshly manicured nails. She reminded herself that she wanted this and backed up. He quirked his mouth into a grin as if she amused him. “Uh-huh.” She glanced up at his welcoming expression and caught her stare in his. “Ya feeling better now?” Thick Irish accent, smooth like Baileys, coated each word her one-night stand spoke. And when he rushed to help her, he‘d surprised her again.ĭrop dead gorgeous and caring? This could be dangerous. She wanted a man who would be thanking his lucky stars to have her in his arms, and one who would be romantic and polite. Most attractive men who know they’re hot behave like monkeys in heat because of it. Average, that’s what his profile had said.

I’m the character who gets caught up in headphone wire when she sees a hot guy in that movie.Fat Greek Wedding, Big Fat Greek.whatever.

At least he was a gentleman about it, though.

Poor guy looks like a rabbit caught in the headlights. Not! And only I could top it off by going all defensive on his ass. The full story has a 4 flame rating and is therefore NOT suitable for minors. This Sweet Irish Kiss excerpt has been edited to make it a PG-13. Very well written indeed! JoAnne Kenrick knows how to write unique, if not quirky, characters that stay with me long after I've finished reading their stories.' - Talina, Night Owl Reviews It is as if the author really took the back seat on this one. I like her ability to dig deep within the characters feelings allowing them to step up and tell their story. Her attention stays more on the characters rather than the setting which is fitting for the genre of the novella. Kenrick's writing style flows nicely throughout the story.
