It's Sunday here in the UK so, for Six Sentence Sunday, here is another excerpt from my newly released 'His Leading Lady' which continues the aftermath of Jess and Kyle's sizzling first kiss (when Jess is pretending to be her twin sister). For anyone new to Six Sunday, please look back to my previous Sunday posts.
She looked at herself again in the mirror and tried to calm her thudding heart.
She was wearing Lora’s clothes, Lora’s make-up, Lora’s hairstyle.
Of course, he’d thought that he was kissing Lora, not her, and she’d responded as Lora, hadn’t she?
So that was some damn good play-acting, Jess!
Except that it didn’t explain her own response. Not just the way she’d responded to his kiss, but all those other feelings that she didn’t even want to think about.
It sounds like it is going to get fantastically more complicated! I think it might be time to head over to Whiskey Creek. Thank you Paula great writing.
ReplyDeletePoor Jess! Her playacting got her in deep trouble, with herself.
ReplyDeleteNice inner thoughts there. Great six.
ReplyDeleteJess has a problem! Love her internal conflict
ReplyDeletepoor girl. When the truth comes out it's gonna be bad :-)
ReplyDeleteAlix - you're right, it DOES get more complicated!
ReplyDeleteCate - yes, this was something she didn't expect ;-)
Marie and Taryn - thanks, her inner conflict is only just beginning!
Sandra - and then bad will go to worse?
Hmm, sounds like she is a method actress. Lol! Poor girl.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, but they have some sizzling chemistry and that's what he'll remember, I'm betting. :)
ReplyDeleteLife is so complex - we never know - well put
ReplyDeleteYou might full him but never yourself.

Oh dear, this is not looking good for all three of them. I love the complication!
ReplyDeletePerhaps by pretending to be her sister, she herself is gaining more confidence. Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteSo tormented...love the deception here but I can't help but feel for her when this inevitably will come out.
ReplyDeleteLisa - maybe carrying the method acting too far?
ReplyDeleteGem - yep, the chemistry definitely sizzles!
Sue - she didn't realise it was going to to SO complex ;-)
Joyce - good point, who's fooling who?
Liz - oh what a tangled web we weave - and all that!
Gayle - yes, definitely.
Laynap - it'll get worse before it gets better LOL
And so...guilt sets in. Tense six!!
ReplyDeleteLove how you've weaved so much conflict into this story. Great six!
ReplyDeleteVery interested in finding out what's going on and why she's dressed as someone else. Great six!
ReplyDeleteWow, you're starting to get at the very meaning of identity here.
ReplyDeleteOh - I love the inner turmoil. I want to find out more.
ReplyDeleteGreat six!
ReplyDeleteOoooo. You've set up all kinds of delicious trouble. Can't wait to see how it's resolved.
ReplyDeleteSo much potential for what's to come. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great story, great conflict.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really lovely novel and that excerpt shows the great writing syle!
ReplyDeleteThanks you all for your comments.
ReplyDeleteThe conflict is only just beginning. Taking on someone else's identity, even though only temporarily, can lead to all kinds of problems!
