INTRODUCING DISTORTION
My Friend has stepped outside the box with her newest novel. It really is worth the read and for your reading pleasure and to entice you a bit here is a excerpt from the book. ENJOY!
“Ow! Son of a
bitch!” What the hell had she stepped on? Bending over, she looked down to find
a large shard of a shell sticking up out of the sand. Damn it! She picked up her right foot to inspect it and watched as droplets
of blood mixed in with the crushed shells and cigarette butts. Well, isn’t this just grand? So much for starting out on the right foot. The
cut on her sole bled profusely, and she wasn’t quite sure how to staunch it
other than cover it with her shirt. Thank goodness she’d worn a bathing suit
underneath her clothes. But how to get back to her house? She snorted. Good question, Hope. Now what’s the answer?
She looked
around for anyone that might be as crazy as she for coming out so early, but
not a soul joined her. Great. Now what?
Her foot throbbed in rhythm with her heart. She needed to get it washed,
bandaged, and up in the air quickly. She searched around again, this time to
see how close any of the beach houses were that dotted past the dunes. The one
nearest had sea green shingles and a white wrap around porch. It had a very
non-assuming and friendly look. She’d been judged by the book covers she
created, so she figured the house may very well be a good reflection of its
owner.
Hobbling through
the sand and up the dunes gave her quite a workout. Every step she took made
her wince and left a little token of her affection for the sea, a bloody
footprint. Her once white tank top now wrapped clumsily around her foot, boasted
a horrid shade of deep red. She reached the apex of the sand hill and saw the
silhouette of a person sitting on the porch.
“Hello? Hello!”
She waved her arms high in the air. “Excuse me; I could use a little help. I’ve
cut my foot and I’m bleeding like a stuck pig.” The blob didn’t move. Did she
mistake an outdoor statue for a person? She hoped not because she felt like
crap at this point. Gathering her energy, Hope drew in a deep breath and
projected her voice. “Excuse me! Can you help me, please? Hello? Oh….”
The world
according to Hope whirled around her and spun out of control. Her body crumbled
and rolled down the dune toward the house. Abruptly, all went dark.
***
She soared
through the clouds, catching the wind beneath her wings. Coming out of her fog,
she realized instead that someone had been carrying her and walking at the same
time. But who? Her brain swam like when she’d twirled a hundred times on the
grass as a child. Opening her eyes, she looked up at her savior and thought she
must still be in “La La Land.” A strong jawline, a straight nose, and five
o’clock shadow graced the profile of a Greek god. A hairband captured dark
brown hair at the base of his neck. Her foot twitched and she groaned.
“Easy now, I’ve
got you. My name is James White and I’m just gonna bring you onto my porch to
see to that foot of yours.”
“Oh, thank you,
James. I’m Hope Evans. I don’t feel so well. I stepped on a shell. My foot is
cut real bad.” Her head fell back onto his chest like a rag doll.
“Hi there, Hope.
Don’t worry. I’m certified.” He laid her gently on a chaise lounge, grabbed a
few pillows from some other chairs and placed them under her foot. “I’ll be
right back. I need to get my first aid kit, and I think a cup of OJ for you to
drink might help, too.” His smile reassured her that all would be well. He
ducked inside giving her a chance to look around. She’d missed most of the sun
rise, but she didn’t care anymore. Due to a kindhearted fellow, she’d found an
angel at dawn instead.

My Thoughts
Distortion is something different brought to us by Deena
Remiel. With this newest book she has stepped
out of the box and brought us a love story unlike any of her others. Hope, who
stumbles upon the sexy cover artist James, suddenly finds her life immersed in
danger. And without a doubt James must
do what he has to, in order to keep her safe. Jam-packed with intrigue and characters you will
love and love to hate, this book is a must read. I was engulfed from the first page to the last
and look forward to what is next by this author.
