Teaser Tuesday (July 28)

Teaser Tuesday button
Should Be Reading hosts the Teaser Tuesdays weekly event.

My modified rules are as follows:

Grab your current read. Pick two or three “teaser” sentences more or less at random from the book, anywhere on the page. You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your teaser from… that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given! (Please avoid spoilers!) (Read the official Teaser Tuesday rules.)

My teaser:

Conscience Point by Erica Abeel“More than the prospect of icy water, Maddy shrank at the thought of getting naked. With a backward glance to check for voyeurs, she quickly shucked her plaid Ship’n Shore blouse and stern unnecessary bra; stepped, tripping out of her pedal pushers. She was slim-chested and hairy and bony-kneed, she would die of mortification” (p. 38).

This is from Conscience Point by Erica Abeel.

  2. Nice teaser! Hope she doesn't die of mortification - or freeze to death.

  3. Great word picture there of skinny-dipping...you can sense the character's mortification. Good teaser!

  5. Interesting teaser, and gosh, I haven't heard the phrase "Ship n' shore blouse" for at least 100 years! That was a fun "blast from the past"!

  6. When I first read it, it sounded like she had a hairy chest. Either way, she's brave if she did that. I don't think I'd ever do something like that.

    BTW: I LOVED The Richeest Season when I read it ; her new book isn't bad either.
