Teaser Tuesday: The Next Forever by Lisa Burstein

Here is a little peek at a novella I recently read. (Review coming soon.) I really liked this line, so I wanted to share it here for Teaser Tuesday.

"I was pausing him, pausing myself. Trying to keep us in the perfect place we had been in before we got to college.

When he was my hero and I was a girl who needed one."

From The Next Forever by Lisa Burstein. 

Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.

Teaser Tuesday: Reinventing Claire by Darian Wilk

I haven't done a teaser in a while, but here you go.

"I started crying.  And not the weepy, sniffle kind either, where you delicately blot a hanky to your eye.  No, the snorty, heaving sobbing you only want to do locked in your bathroom with the shower running so no one can hear you."

Teaser Tuesdays: Family Magic by Patti Larsen

Teaser Tuesdays was created by MizB of Should Be Reading.

My teaser:

I am just starting Family Magic, so I chose to give a teaser from the first paragraph. Enjoy!

Not that I didn’t welcome the distraction, to be honest. Anything to take my mind from what went on around me.

Being part of a demon raising is way less exciting than it sounds.

Teaser Tuesdays: The Gaia Wars

Teaser Tuesdays was created by MizB of Should Be Reading.

My teaser:

The woman smiled, but Warren, who noticed most everything, didn't believe it. Her smile was warm and genuine, all right, but her demeanor suggested sadness and confusion. Another thought pinged Warren out of the blue then, as their eyes met. Something about this person seemed familiar.

My teaser for this week is from a book I finished reading a few days ago.

Teaser Tuesdays: Farsighted

Teaser Tuesdays was created by MizB of Should Be Reading.

My teaser for the week: (More than 2 sentences, as usual.)

"Oh, they're not divorced." Shapri shakes her head. "They're still married. They live together even but haven't talked for years. Sometimes they'll be sitting in the same room saying nothing. Dad stares at Mom with so much sadness like he wants nothing more in the whole world than for her to smile, but all she does is ignore him."

Farsighted by Emlyn Chand, p. 88

I bet you can't guess WHY she is ignoring him!

Teaser Tuesdays: Head Over Heels by Jill Shalvis

Teaser Tuesdays was created by MizB of Should Be Reading.

I almost didn't do a Teaser this week, but here goes. This one is from a book I just finished reading for a blog tour stopping by next week.

"Sure." Chloe once again bent to the computer. "So where are you headed?"

 

She bit her lip. "LA?"

 

Chloe looked up from her screen. "Okay, but tomorrow night, when you're standing at another front desk in some other inn, don't say it with a question mark. Own it."

Teaser Tuesdays: Love Unfinished by Darian Wilk

Teaser Tuesdays was created by MizB of Should Be Reading.

My teaser for the week: (More than two sentences again, but I just can't help myself.)

She blushed and held a hand over her eyes. "God, I know I look just awful --"

He smiled playfully. "You look amazing."
 

She self-consciously cringed and tugged her Tom Petty t-shirt. "Oh, I don't but --"

"I like you better like this," he grinned. "Not so stuffy and uppity," he said, brushing off the shoulder of the worn t-shirt.

Love Unfinished by Darian Wilk, p. 127

You've got to love man who likes a girl in her jeans and Tom Petty shirt!

Teaser Tuesdays: Geek Girl

Teaser Tuesdays was created by MizB of Should Be Reading.

My teaser for the week: (OK, more than two sentences, but I couldn't help it.)

I slip my arm deliberately under Trevor's, lacing my fingers with his. She notices; so does he.

"Hey," my answer is flippant, a slight feline threat in there that she recognizes instinctively. The mice always do.

Geek Girl by Cindy C. Bennett, p. 49

Granny stood there holding the invisible reins of an invisible camel and smiled. "Oh, I rather like the rain."

I can just imagine the thoughts you get just from reading these two sentences! So funny!
