Welcome to Snippet Sunday and Weekend Writing Warriors! For those new to this, fellow writers post eight sentences from one of our works.
MUST LOVE BREECHES released a week and a half ago!
So, Isabelle was at a reenactment ball and has stepped back in time to 1834, though she doesn’t know it yet. Picking up where we left off two weeks ago when she meets the hero:
Would this man look equally exquisite on the streets in blue jeans and T-shirt, or were his kind of looks enhanced by the period clothing? She’d seen that phenomenon before: someone who looked absolutely yummy in a historical flick and, when wearing modern clothes, appeared positively humdrum.
But never mind that. Right smack in front of her stood a man at noble ease in form-fitting pantaloons and coattails. The black coat molded to his frame, and the starched white collar poked just high enough to accentuate his jaw. With a hand-tied cravat to boot. Hoo! Which brought her to his deliciously sculpted lips, one side cocked up a smidge.
To join in the fun and see the other wonderful writers, go to Weekend Writing Warriors! Thanks for stopping by!
MUST LOVE BREECHES now available on all major retailers
She’s finally met the man of her dreams. There’s only one problem: he lives in a different century.
“A fresh, charming new voice” – New York Times bestselling author Tessa Dare
HOW FAR WOULD YOU TRAVEL FOR LOVE?
A mysterious artifact zaps Isabelle Rochon to pre-Victorian England, but before she understands the card case’s significance a thief steals it. Now she must find the artifact, navigate the pitfalls of a stiffly polite London, keep her time-traveling origins a secret, and resist her growing attraction to Lord Montagu, the Vicious Viscount so hot, he curls her toes.
To Lord Montagu nothing makes more sense than keeping his distance from the strange but lovely Colonial. However, when his scheme for revenge reaches a stalemate, he convinces Isabelle to masquerade as his fiancée. What he did not bargain on is being drawn to her intellectually as well as physically.
Lord Montagu’s now constant presence overthrows her equilibrium and her common sense. Isabelle thought all she wanted was to return home, but as passion flares between them, she must decide when her true home—as well as her heart—lies.

Great snippet. Love the premise 🙂
Yummy description, Angela! 🙂
Excellent description! I would probably wonder the same, thinking that of course, he wouldn’t be wearing these clothes all the time. Clothes can make the man, and this one sounds interesting 🙂 Congrats on the release!
If she loves his clothes, she’s gonna get a kick out of his speech patterns. Great snippet, Angela. 🙂
I can picture this man from your description. He sounds yummy! Nice 8. Added Must Love Breeches to my TBR.
Oh, I can picture him perfectly! He sounds delicious:)
Well — yum, yum. He definitely sounds delish. Congrats on your release!
Your hero sounds like trouble, handsome, interesting, sexy trouble. And congrats, again, on the book release! 😀
Would look just as sexy in jeans and t-shirt. Congratulations on the new release.
Nicely done!
Jeans and a t-shirt would be sexy enough. Nice snippet and congrats on the release – though for some reason I thought you released this a while back.
I love those high collars. Mandarin collars are nice, but those starched ones—sigh . . .
Gotta love a smirking man!
Nice work. Vivid imagery…
Love the description, and especially the difference between how someone looks in different clothing.
I think she’s smitten.
I love the description–and this sounds like a fun book!
I love the comparison about how people look different with historical clothes and contemporary.
