Beth melted into the shelter of his embrace. Her
damp, sun-warmed skin met his and she sighed. She wore a red bikini top
and her own stringy-hemmed cutoffs.
Slowly, she raised her face. The top of her head
barely grazed his shoulder. She had to stand on her tip-toes even though he was
leaning down—then their lips met, and the brilliant rays of sunlight falling
through the pines illuminated his face like that of a saint in a stained-glass
window. “Saint John,” she laughed.
He laughed with her.
Beth shook her head to clear the memories.
Okay, folks, that's all for this week. Now skip on over to the wewriwa.com website and check out some AWESOME authors! Until next week...cheers!

Beautifully romantic with a poignant last line. Loved it!
Such a great visual! Can't wait for the release!! LOVE the cover of Stevie-girl and the Phantom Pilot, too!
Such an idyllic scene! Guessing it will be disturbed sometime soon. Looking forward to the next instalment.
Great descriptive narrative. This seems to be the Sunday for them! But I really enjoy reading an author who has strong narrative skills. Dialogue is great but I think background setting it critical as well. IMHO. Great snippet.
Wow, I loved the description of the light especially. Terrific snippet!
Thank you, Gemma. This couple makes me just *sigh*
Thank you, Sweetie!
Heh heh heh. You already know me too well!
Thank you so much, India!
Thanks, Veronica. It's from my own memory of hiking around in the mountains near Ruidoso, NM!
So lovely and you left me wondering what happens next about memories.
Thank you, Charmaine. =)
Sweet eight! Beautiful, truly beautiful! I love when the sun acts like a spotlight to highlight a moment in time. *happy sigh*
Super excerpt. Well done.
Thanks, Kate. I love that type of image, too.
Thank you, Elaine.
What a delightful kiss. Makes me want to read more of this couple's romance. Comparing him to saint? Interesting.
Yay! Glad it makes you want to read more! Thanks, Denise...
