Gotta say, I'm
fairly easy to entertain, but I love it when the shows I watch elevate my
standards. Right now, just about all my faves are hitting one hundred percent
satisfaction levels. Once again, The
Walking Dead blew me away. My super hero shows, Arrow, The Flash, Agents of SHIELD and Gotham are amping up the tension. My
batshit insane shows, Haven, Sleepy Hollow, and Sons of Anarchy keep getting a little crazier and that keeps me
glued to the television.
I also like a good
mystery and got to watch Inspector Lewis
last week. I usually catch up on the series when it's available on DVD, but I
couldn't sleep and PBS was showing it. I've also been watching previous seasons
of The Murdoch Mysteries (also known
as The Artful Detective) on Ovation. Why they changed the name for US
television is beyond me, but it's a great, fun Canadian show.
Tonight's post is
from Rise and Shine, a contemporary novella with fun characters.
Here's the tagline:
Abram Purdy sees the same barista, Whitney Boone, every day
of the week. She always knows exactly what he needs to get his day started. He
runs into her on a Saturday jog and discovers she's accepting a teaching
position at the local university and Abram decides to see if she'll still make
his morning coffee—at his place.
And a snippety peek…
Abram entered Rise and Shine, his
gaze seeking his favorite barista. Sure enough, Whitney had a line about ten
deep standing in front of her station. She glanced up and waved, nodding for
him to take a spot at the end.
He flashed a smile and followed
her prompt. He didn't wait long either. She moved through the order with
efficient ease, chatting up her regulars, and getting to know two new
customers. The woman had a way of putting people at ease, yet keeping the flow
smooth and moving in fast order.
His turn arrived and she had his
order ready before he even reached the counter.
Putting the lid on the cup, she
grinned. "Strong, black, and hot. I love how easy you make my job."
She slid the cup in his direction. "Did you have a nice weekend?"
He nodded. "Not bad. Got
started on a couple of new projects and ran errands. How did your weekend
go?"
She waggled her eyebrows. "I
had a hot date with my favorite guy."
His lips twitched. "And did
Emory behave himself or did he try to mount all the female golden doodles
again?"
Whitney laughed. "He
controlled himself this time." She leaned in. "I told my sister if
she wanted me to keep dog sitting when she goes out of town, she had to get him
neutered." She shook her head. "I never want another owner chasing me
down the sidewalk again."
Abram chuckled. "I don't
blame you." He moved toward the checkout area. "See you
tomorrow."
She waved and started mixing the
next order.
These two have been
so much fun to write. And yes, I know I say that all the time. LOL
That's it for this
week. Happy reading!
