Hi! Welcome to another Weekend Writing Warrior round. Every week writers post 8 sentences on their blogs from a published or unpublished book. Then we "hop" around and leave comments on each other's snippets. Whether our work is already published or in progress, the helpful comments help us become stronger writers on our next WIP. We welcome EVERYONE's comments.
Deanna is frightened of the attractive bank customer turned dangerous kidnapper. He's upset that she got involved and he lets her know it.
...and now the eight:
“Finally, you’re awake,” he walked over to her and
pulled the tape from her mouth; it stung. “What’s your name?”
She
looked at him in fear, “Deanna, Deanna Blair.”
“Well Miss Deanna Blair,” he mocked her southern accent, “you really screwed us; we
never planned to take any real hostages.” He shook his head as he
looked at her, the last thing he wanted was to be attracted to her, to be
distracted from the things he had to do.
“I thought you were in
trouble.”
He
exhaled loudly, “crimes happen every day in
New York and no one ever wants to get involved and then Miss Goody-Two-Shoes
has to come along; damn!” Now he felt responsible
for her.

Review
Hostage Heart is a captivating read… I really enjoyed Chelle Cordero's 'Hostage Heart. It read quickly and kept my interest until the very end. I would highly recommend this book and I plan to read all of the author's other books. It took me along on the adventure. I enjoyed the romance.

Miss Goody-two-shoes! Perfect thing for him to call her!
Poor girl. I bet she wishes she'd never opened her mouth in the bank. :-)
Good 8, Chelle!
Some days it just doesn't pay to rob a bank! LOL Fun snippet -- I almost feel sorry for him.
I'd say this bank robber is in a little over his head with his hostage. You summed up his thoughts about it quite nicely, I can almost feel his frustration with himself.
Nice snippet!
Can't wait to read more. I really like this story!
Well, too bad for him!
Poor guy, someone ruined his perfectly good felony . . .
I hope she kicks him in the shins. :)
Yup, I hope she fights back. Serve him right. Great excerpt.
What irony. To help him she's caught and in danger--from him. Great plotting.
Wrong place, right time, wrong effort. Great snippet, Chelle. :)
Perfect snippet as entree to an exciting book with as many twists as a tornado.
Lol, talk about a plan going wrong;).
Great 8.
Interesting! There's going to be all kinds of complications now, I'm sure. Terrific snippet!
Are you planning something unpredictable with these two?
Nice 8!
Good stuff. I can the things warring inside his head.
Oh my gosh, this gave me the shivers! I love it. Yikes, what has she gotten herself in to?
Oh what a scene. Miss Goody-Two-Shoes has found herself in a real pickle, but it sounds like her kidnapper may just want to protect her. Great scene. Love his inner thoughts. :)
Oh, I love that. On one side he is trying to be scary and on the other side he wants to protect her. I found it very funny.
