Was thinking about trying out my squeaky new Kitchen Sink WIP this week but...it may need to percolate, not to mention progress...
And Stacey Kennedy gave HEALING HEARTS a review on Paranormal Romantics last week that absolutely made me sniffle. She plucked seven sentences that, she said, made her fall in love with Adam and "get all giddy over the man." I've never excerpted those before.
So...in honor of Stacey's review and Adam's new Romance Trading Card designed by Angela Waters, the artist who created the Healing Hearts cover for Carina Press -- and egged on by @Stacey_Kennedy and @LisaFoxRomance on Twitter, here they are, magically condensed to 6:
Emma stared from one man to the other as if a bolt of lightning had riveted her to her place behind the large piece of furniture, revulsion filling her eyes when she looked at Farraday—shame when she gazed upon Adam.
Damn it to bloody blue blazes, he thought. The hell with her stiff-backed pride. He would have leapt to her side and knocked the other man senseless if he could. But he’d left his agility in a Spanish ditch.
“To me, Emma,” Adam repeated, his voice calm but forceful.

Love it! And what a wonderful trading card! :)
So romantic! Terrific card as well.
Terrific Six, Taryn. I can see why the reviewer fell for Adam.
Great six, love the trading card details, I'm intrigued.
I approve. Great six, as always, Taryn! Adam;s trading card looks fab!
Great card, great snippet and GREAT book. Adam is definitely a man to get 'giddy' over.
Wonderful 6! Great hero!
I love that - the conflict of what he wants to do but can't!
-happy sigh- I can see why that made her fall in love. Beautiful strength and voulnerability.
This is a great snippet. Full of conflict!
And the trading card is fantastic!
Adam's voice resonates arrogance. Farraday, frustrated need to protect. Wonderful snippet!
I know what happens :-)
I read Healing Hearts this week and LOVED it so much! It's a great story.
Um, Adam's the good guy, Gem. Farraday's the villain. The last thing he wants to do is protect. You knew that, right?
Tara -- It's a romance! We ALL know what happens! LOL!
Great six Taryn!
Love his calm resolve to guide her.
Wonderful six! Really enjoyed the tension from Adam's POV. Nicely done! :)
Loved that part **grin**
The trading cards are great too!
Oooh, I love these sentences when I read the review and I still love them now.
Aha, there it is! I am intrigued by the relationship between these three, especially her and Adam. And that's a good thing because I got the book sitting right here. *happy dance*
great six and congrats !
Thanks for coming back and trying again, Vivien! Hope you enjoy Healing Hearts!
Taryn, yeay for more Adam... he is one character that has stayed with me long after I'd finished reading. you know, i still think of him from time to time. You are an amazing writer! Thanks for sharing a few lines to pull him forward in my mind again. I can't wait to read more of your work!
Anyone who hasn't read Healing Hearts yet, what the heck are you waiting for? It's amazing!!!
lovely snippet, this one is already on my tbr :)
Oh, nice! And I love the trading card!
Wouldn't have to tell me twice!
Adam sounds like a great character! *decides to borrow him* Wonderful six!
Taryn, I think my rave review says it all.

And for yours, too, Lindsay!
Finally got caught up and read the book. Those were great sentences. Enjoyed the read and liked the changes from what I heard months ago.
Thanks, Janet.
I loved this book when I read it and I loved those 6 sentences. Lots of reasons to love him.
What a great six!
Awesome. Letting his voice do what his body no longer can. I can see why the reviewer loved Adam so much.
Your trading cards are awesome, too!
Love it! I think I just added another one to my TBR pile...
Sigh. Sigh. And sigh. Yes, I got goosebumps all over the place...again!!! :D
Awesome, Taryn! Congrats on the fabulous review!
Great trading card. One of the nicest I've seen. But I've been so busy writing I'm out of the loop. Is there a purpose to the cards or are they simply to hand out?
Thanks!
Oh, sigh. Can't wait to read this! Nice trading card too!
This was such a great story. Reminds me yet again, why I love historical romances so, so, much!
'calm but forceful' - nice!
Brilliant six - and congrats on the fab review :)
he's a man who knows his heart - great 6
He is just super hot. Love the trading cards.
