Howdy!
Well, my week in
television ended up being pretty damned awesome. Seriously, the Walking Dead kind of caught me off
guard, but gotta give it to Rick. When he steps up, he sorta goes full tilt and
gets it done. Not sure how I feel about the parting of ways, but I'm leaning
towards it being a good thing.
Thoroughly enjoyed Castle, which is a nice change since
I've been kind of 'meh' about this season. I love getting to see Rick and Kate
together—that kind of never happens and it pisses me off—but the storylines
either underwhelmed or made me scratch my head. Sons of Anarchy continues to rip the scabs off old wounds. I love
having my smart Jax back. He's always at his best when he's not reacting to and
working through shit like watching his best friend die. Very interested to see
what side Tara's actions have him landing on. My hope is he'll stay smart, get
the Irish out of the way, deal with the DA, and then let the emotional fallout
hit. And good Christ, stay away from Gemma so she can't throw gasoline on the
fire. *shakes head*
Arrow and The Tomorrow People just
make my Wednesday the best day of the week. I can't say enough about Arrow at the moment, and anything I
would say would contain spoilers, so *zips lips*. Haven twisted everything
sideways again, but hit on a theory I had from the first episode. I kind of
can't wait to see how the new wrinkle plays into the mythology. I have more
thinky thoughts, but again… spoilers. LOL
So, that's my week
in TV. Maybe I should get to the actual post, right? Tonight's snippet is from
The Cabin, a novella with one of my favorite tropes—sibling rivalry. This time
the brothers don't want the same girl, but they almost let her come between
them.
Here's the tagline:
Whip meets the woman of his dreams when tries to convince
Kari to give his brother another shot at her art class. But when she can't
accommodate the request, Whip still wants to pursue a relationship… until his
brother tries to get in the way and Kari decides she won't come between them.
And the snippety
peek…
Kari made the trek up the
mountain and made her way from the drive around to the back of the cabin,
following the heavy thudding sound. She found Whip—stripped of his shirt—chopping
wood and stopped to admire his raw masculinity. Instead of announcing her
presence, she watched the corded muscles of his arms and back work to split log
after log. When he paused to wipe the sweat from his face, he caught sight of
her standing at the edge of the porch. He lifted a brow. Instead of flushing
with guilt, she boldly met his gaze and strode forward, stopping to stand toe
to toe with Whip. She reached up, cupping his face and leaned in to capture his
lips with hers. He tasted like hickory and sunshine. The kiss dragged out and
Kari didn't care when Whip grabbed her hips, bringing her flush against his
chest. She'd missed him, more than she wanted to admit.
Kari finally gives
up her losing battle against wanting Whip… and he's going to be very happy.
That's it for this
week. Happy reading!
