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 Every week writers post 8 sentences on their blogs from a published or unpublished book.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.
The strain of maintaining their pretense is getting to both of them. Ryan has tried to keep her by his side and claims it's for her protection. He's admitted that he wants to be with her and just hold her. He kisses her, but when she kisses him back he's afraid she thinks she has to. He apologizes for "everything".
In answer to a question from last week, the name "mamere" that Deanna called her grandmother has French origins and reflects the French/Cajun influence of New Orleans where Deanna's grandmother was born, lived and perished in the floods.
...and now the eight:
“Ryan, if you are so sorry,
why don’t you just let me go?”
“I can’t,” his expression was troubled, “not yet.”
“Ryan, I have a life, I
have friends, I have a job,” she swallowed back a sob,
“I want to go home.”
“Do you have a boyfriend or someone special?”
Deanna was surprised by his question, “no.”
“When you walked into that bank, if I hadn’t known what was going to happen…” he trailed off.
“You’re just confusing me.”
He smiled impulsively, “you’re not the only one who is confused.”

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.

From the Intro:
This
booklet is intended as a guide to help you get through a medical or trauma
crisis – it is not intended to replace professional medical or emergency
response or advice.
I
was an Emergency Medical Technician, CPR and First Aid Instructor, and
volunteer with a local ambulance corps for nearly three decades. I responded
to numerous emergencies, performed CPR, delivered babies, transported trauma
victims and sometimes just offered comfort to a patient en-route to the
hospital.
People
deal with emergencies differently, but no matter how serious or minor the event
may seem to someone else, each person who experiences pain, fear or loss for
themselves or a loved one is dealing with a true crisis. It is my hope that
this booklet will give a little comfort when it comes to dealing with an
emergency.

Nice "pillowtalk". I think he must be undercover... I hope he is! Good 8, Chelle!
I want to know what he didn't say!
He definitely needs to make up his mind. He can't be a good guy in disguise or a bad guy pretending to be good. This guy is so frustrating!
This is sort of reverse Stockholm Syndrome, isn't it? :)
I still think he's not who his gang thinks he is, but either way, he's definitely regretting his life choices! :D
how hard for her not knowing if he's a good guy then he cant reveal the truth in their situation either. this is so interesting
What is going on here is the big question. Definitley cliffhanger time. We'll tune in next week and Chelle, you better 'fess up or we're coming after you.
Somehow I think he's one of the good guys, an undercover agent, maybe.
Great exchange, Chelle. Both their feelings come through in their reactions and behaviour. Great 8.
What I wouldn't do to crawl into his mind! LOL. Very good 8! Intriguing dialogue to say the least. I HAVE to know what happens!
Questions and confusion make for rich fodder to a writer. Good exchange between the characters.
I love see them so befuddled by each other. I do hope they work things out soon. :)
Emotions can be so confusing! Wonder how this will all work out.
A confusing situation to be sure! Enjoyed their pillowtalk. :)
I just figured it out! hooray!! Anyway once again a fantastic snippet!!
I feel sorry for both of them! But you're doing a terrific job of writing the story...another excellent excerpt.
I'm confused, too. Nice dialogue. It kinda reminds me of the Stockholm syndrome, but the other way around, isn't it ... anyway ... loving the story!
