I’ve joined the Rainbow Snippets group on Facebook. From their description: “Rainbow Snippets is a group for LGBTQ+ authors, readers, and bloggers to gather once a week to share six sentences from a work of fiction–a WIP or a finished work or even a 6-sentence book recommendation (no spoilers please!).” Pretty cool, eh? Don’t forget to “Like” my Facebook page and/or my Facebook profile while you’re over there checking out this fantastic group!
In honor of the release of the Vows Series Box Set, I’m going with another snippet from To Love and To Cherish (the final story in the set). The box set is up exclusively at Amazon.
This snippet follows immediately after where I left off last week. Overview of the scene: Nash has come home to face his roommates (Harley and Oliver), and he’s scrabbling to find a way to tell them about the arrangement he’s just made with Emmitt (a marriage of convenience). He’s afraid of what their reaction might be so he’s headed that off by redirecting the conversation to their own relationship.
Last week ended with Harley and Oliver sharing a mushy scene after getting engaged.
This is told from Nash’s 3rd-person POV:
Nash stood up again. “Want me to make myself scarce for an hour or so?”
Oliver’s head snapped up. He grinned slyly. “You don’t think we’re that easily sidetracked, do you?”
Fuck. “One can hope.”
“Seriously, what the fuck, Nash,” Harley said. “Did you goad me into getting engaged just to avoid ’fessing up about who you just boned?”

I have no idea what to read now. Nash and Emmitt left me with a book hangover 🙂 I want something sweet and without a lot of drama, at least not relationship drama. Outside drama is fine. And nothing too long. Got any suggestions? 🙂
Hmm…have you ever read The Blinding Light by Renae Kaye? Not sure it fits your “nothing too long” requirement at 74k, but it’s humorous and rather sweet. The relationship arc is fairly steady and the drama in their lives comes from one of the MC’s family (not homophobic drama…just regular family stuff). It’s one of those books I tend to reread with regularity.
I have, but it was a long time ago. Maybe it’s time to re-read it. Thanks for reminding me 🙂
It worthy of being in the reread pile. 🙂
LOL! Love it! 😀
Thank you! 💕
LOL. Too bad the distraction didn’t work.
Oh well, it had to come out eventually. 😀
Ooo, love that last line! 🙂
Teehee 😃 Thank you!
Distraction overturned. Oopsie. Nice snippet!
😀 Thank you. Alas, it was doomed to fail.
Haha, what a way to avoid fessing up! Couldn’t make that swift exit… great snippet. 🙂
😀And in the end, he’d avoided nothing, LOL. Thank you! ♡
Well, Harley is nothing if not straight and to the point Bravo Harley.
Quite true. Harley never holds back. 😃
He should have just tried to slip out unnoticed instead of announcing it…
Hahaha! Trouble is, he has something he really does need to explain to them. He’s just having trouble finding out how to do it so they’ll understand his motivations.
I’m thinking he needs to ‘fess up! LOL
No worries, he’s about to! <3
Hahahaha. That distraction tactic didn’t work. 😀
😀 Nope, it was doomed to fail. Hehehe…
The answer to that last question should be interesting.
IKR? Dare he deny it? 🙂
LOL Love the last line!
😀 Thank you!
