Here are eight more sentences from my contemporary romance 'Dream of Paris' (now released!)
Thanks to everyone from Weekend WritingWarriors (#WeWriWa) and/or the Six Sentence group on Facebook who have visited and left comments for me.
“Paris has gone to our heads, hasn’t it?” he said with a small smile.
She lowered her eyes and stroked her fingers up and down the stem of her glass. “Is that all it was?” Slowly she returned to reality, even though she tried to cling to the dream.
Her heart jerked when he put his hand very gently around hers. “Do you want it to be any more?”
She raised her head again until her eyes met his. “Do you?”
Dream of Paris can be downloaded for Kindle at Amazon USA, Amazon Canada and Amazon UK
Also available in various formats from Smashwords for Nook, iPad, Sony, Kobo, etc

Sweet snippet -- could feel the anxiousness and unknowing spilling from your words. LOVED IT.
I can feel her anxiety and her need for him to commit, grab her, never let her go...and yet. Very poignant snippet!
I missed joining the WWW but am at theSS/FB :-)
Loved the tentative atmosphere that is gripping them both, here. I wonder whether either is brave enough to speak the truth?
“Do you want it to be any more?”
Great question, perfect timing.
Nice writing.
Great six and excellent cliffhanger. Way to leave us wanting more! :)
Ooooh, that MOMENT! I love these moments. The "you say it first" is captured perfectly!
Arghh, he's not being fair! That's a life or death question!
I must confess I start reading it :)
The emotional tension is beautifully on display. Fabulous, Paula.
Great job of capturing that vulnerable moment when you aren't sure whether or not to put your heart at risk. Looking forward to reading more next Sunday!

They're both so uncertain, aren't they?
I really want to know what's holding him back!
Yes! Ahem. I love the tension in this snippet and the description of her hear jerking. Lovely.
aw, I think these two could leave Paris tomorrow but not forget each other :)
That's so sweet. What is holding him back? Loved it and made me want more more more. :-) Great job!
Oh that is sweet. Congratulations and good luck with the new release.
Congratulations on your new release, Paula. Sweet snippet. :)
So much angst going on here, very well done snippet! Best wishes on the release!
I love the indecisiveness. So common in fledgling romances. It's a terrifying thing--putting your heart out there when it might be trampled. :-) Great job, Paula! :-)
Such lovely, romantic intensity! Very well done!
There's a very sweet tension in this. I love it.
Oh, so tender and sweet. Lovely way to portray doubts.
Thank you all so much for your comments! It's a tense moment for them both, as neither really knows what the other is thinking!
I love the way they are trying to determine each other's thoughts!
It's hard trying to figure out what the other wants without giving too much away! I enjoyed this--great snippit! :)
Yes! Yes! They both want!!! Great way to capture the feelings of uncertainty and insecurity.
They are so afraid to proceed without knowing what the other is thinking. Nice, and I love the cover.
Sounds like they are close in what they want and have only to reach for it. Wonder what his inconsistent behavior reason is though? Hmmm
Lovely. Sounds like they're both a bit uncertain about declaring their feelings.
Thanks again, all - and yes, they're both very uncertain right now!
