Yay, Six Sentence Sunday time again!<\/p>\n

If you’ve never heard of it before, Six Sentence is a rather simple concept. Authors share six sentences from one of their works. It could be a work in progress, a book not yet released, or a book that’s available for purchase.<\/p>\n

Today I share a snippet from\u00a0\u00a0Loving a Fairy Godmother<\/strong>. LFG is my recently re-released take on Cinderella and the first story in my series, “Fairy Tales and Ever Afters”.<\/p>\n

This is the scene where we first meet our hero Tiernan, from our heroine Reina’s POV:<\/p>\n

Under the trees and surrounded by his harem, Tiernan lounged in the grass, his relaxed demeanor proclaiming he didn\u2019t have a care in the world.<\/p>\n

The other Godmothers were gazing at him in dreamy adoration, as if every word that came from his mouth was a miracle. Though, to be fair, they might consider the miracle more what his shirt and breeches covered and less what came from his mind, considering how many glances Reina counted checking out those two areas.<\/p>\n

He was a beautiful man. Even at her most annoyed, Reina could never deny that. Sandy blond hair, eyes the color of a summer sky, and dimples that made every woman who saw them start fanning herself.<\/p>\n

Beautiful, but not perfect, with the nose that had been broken at least once and scars slashed into his skin, testifying about his life as a soldier as much as the broad shoulders and heavily muscled body did.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I adore Tiernan. He’s one of my favorite characters so far.<\/p>\n

As an aside, while I did not base Tiernan’s looks on any individual, I recently came across a guy that – while not 100% – came pretty close to how I pictured Tiernan.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He’s an actor by the name of Josh Holloway<\/a> and my understanding is he’s known from the television show “Lost” (which I never watched). Check out my boards on pinterest if you’re interested in seeing Reina or who may have inspired other characters in my books.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
