Hi everyone. March definitely came in with a roar so I’m hoping for some lovely spring weather soon. Just in case, I have my gardening gear ready and a basket of bulbs waiting to be planted. 🙂 This week’s snippet is another excerpt from Rhythm, Smoke, Inc. 3.

Being tall herself, Holly had the unusual experience of tilting her head in order to see her dance partner’s face.
Sun lines marked his wide forehead, a shaggy lock of hair dangled above unruly brows, and dark eyes met her gaze as he frowned down at her.
As she resisted the urge to tidy him, he removed his suit jacket and his arm flexed showing off the bulging pecs under the pink dress shirt.
Silently, her dance partner led Holly to the official starter table.
“Good to see you Marty,” the registrar gushed without even glancing her way.
Okay, I can do this. She scrunched her toes inside barely-there sandals, wincing as she surveyed her partner’s humongous gray suede shoes.
“At least size fourteens,” she muttered, staring at the intimidating foot gear.
“Fifteens,” he grunted without looking at her. “Wide.”

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Have a great week!
With such big feet he could either step on hers, or make her feel like she was floating across the dance floor. Nice snippet!
You know what they say about guys with big feet, right? Actually, I don’t know, either, but it’s a line from Notting Hill.
Big hands, big feet, big… 🙂
Haha! Why Gem, are your characters having a double entendre type of conversation?? lol
Great scene–wonderful visuals!
You betcha! so now they dance and he’s wearing a pink shirt. Your descriptions are wonderful.
That was funny (the bit about the shoes) and I enjoyed the entire scene! Great snippet…
I knew a girl in high school who wore size eight–male–shoes so I can totally picture this. Nice snippet!
It’s snowing here! So much for an early spring. Really enjoyed the snippet. I loved her impulse to “tidy” him. Do you have a blurb for this yet?
I love the way she’s worried about his feet.
I’m betting she didn’t intend for that to be overheard. LOL I love that she wanted to tidy him.
Great, sexy descriptions. 😀
Great scene, Gem, filled with wonderful visuals. Can’t wait to see where it’s leading. Hmmm, large feet . . .
I do hope he’s light on those wide size feet. 🙂 Great imagery.
Whoa, those are big feet. Hope he’s a good dancer. He could probably break toes!
enjoyed the snippet … and the feet conversation …. different … interesting … LOL
He sounds like a mountain of a man! She’s in for some new experiences, I’m thinkin’! Great scene.
Love how conscious she is of everything about him. Great snippet!
