So we come to our final ‘Six Sentence Sunday’. I’ve enjoyed ‘meeting’
so many other writers through this blog hop, and want to thank you all for your
friendship and also all your comments. Thank you, too, to Sara Brookes for
hosting SSS since February 2010.
I understand there are 'alternatives’ being set up –
the details of two of these are given below.
Meantime, here’s my six from ‘Dream of Paris’ for this final SSS:
Anna and Matt accompany a group of senior students (from the
school where they both teach) to a weekend conference in Paris. On the last
night, they’re not on duty at the college where the group is staying, and they
stroll along the pathway by the River Seine, stopping when they reach the southern façade of Notre
Dame Cathedral. And now they have their first kiss…
Matt’s hand tightened around hers, but when he didn’t reply,
she turned to him. The soft heat that simmered in his eyes made the hairs
on her skin stand on end. Everything inside her did a double somersault, but
she stayed motionless, mesmerised as he leant towards her.
Slowly, almost hesitantly, his lips brushed hers, in a brief
and tender connection that sent warm pulses of pleasure dancing through her.
When he moved fractionally away, she brought her hand up to grasp his arm. He
let out a quiet groan and his mouth returned to hers, now intense and hungry.
Blurb: Anna
Richards has a dream of going to live and study in Paris, but when Matthew
Carlton comes into her life, her dream changes direction. Attraction sparks
between them, but Matt’s behaviour is strangely inconsistent. Anna is shocked
when she discovers the reason and is sure there is no future for them. Can
Paris work its magic and make her dream come true?
'Dream of Paris' will be released next month.
Here are the links to alternatives to SSS:

sentences instead of six

I love the emotion and passion in this snippet. I really like how you showed it from both characters point of view.

A beautiful and passionate kiss, loved it!
Great emotion is these sentences. Well done!
This is such a beautiful moment and you treated it with the care that it deserved, preserved it perfectly in time.
Thanks for tips on Sneak Peek Sunday and Weekend Warriors.
Beautifully written. I love the physical responses that show so well her emotional reaction to this man.

Sounds like the beginnings of a very sexy kiss!
Sweet and sultry six, Paula. So glad I got to know your writing through SSS. :)
Love how her touch ignited a groan and a fabulous impassioned kiss. A dreamy six, Paula :)
Thank you all for your comments, I'm so pleased you liked their first kiss. It actually continues with several more sentences, but I was only allowed six!
sounds like a beautiful story!
Oh, yeah. That's what I'M talkin' about! I could use more of those kind of kisses myself, LOL! Always a pleasure reading your snippets Paula! I'm so glad we met on the SSS meme. Love your writing! I think we both signed up for the FB SSS, so once I get some time, I'll be posting again. In any case, we're already connected on FB and Twitter, so I'm sure to keep up with you and your status!! Best of luck with the new book!
An amazing kiss. And that's only the beginning! LOL Wonderful! :)
Such a sweetly passionate kiss. This sounds like a lovely love story.
What's more romantic than a kiss on the Seine?
Thanks, all. My 'Dream of Paris' is a romantic story, set partly in the City of Love. It'll be released on the very appropriate date of February 14th!
I've signed up for the Weekend Writing Warriors, and also joined the Facebook SSS group, so hope to meet you all again at either or both of those.
Beautiful first kiss, Paula. So full of passion and longing and sweetness! Well done! I look forward to running into you on one of the new Sunday memes!

Terrific kiss, what a great place for it to happen! Another excellent excerpt - I've really enjoyed reading your Six Sentence snippets every week. Glad you're going to keep posting, me too. Best wishes!
