Spring Fling Blog Hop #HopswithHeart #Giveaway

Hops with Heart

Welcome to the Spring Fling Blog Hop!
March 20-23

Here in Michigan I'm really saying we need to fling into spring fast because all this snow and cold weather is really getting me down.  When I think spring, I picture blooming flowers and green grass but out my window this morning, a fresh coating of snow.  Really?   I think our seasons are confused lol, shifting somehow because the way Michigan is going, we won't see green grass till June!  I just realized I still have winter on my website too so I think that will get a spring overhaul today too!

Summer Shorts Anthology

Excerpt from Surf's Up:

 

Kylee couldn‟t take much more of watching this poor guy wipe out every time he stood up. It just looked painful. She didn‟t know how to surf herself but after watching him, she wasn‟t about to try either. Even if she did know how, she wouldn‟t help. She was hiding out at her Grammy‟s winter home on the gulf coast for a reason; mending a broken heart, not meeting another guy. Technically she was over Roger. There was really nothing left to get over so it was hardly a breakup. They hadn‟t seen much of each other the last couple months. His secretary was way more accommodating to his, ah…needs anyway. Kylee had always been good with numbers which made her good at her job but it also made Roger think she could do his job too.

 

 He was dating her to use her. She needed someone more her own speed, a guy more lively and self thinking; someone to let her be herself—if one of those even existed. This would most definitely be the last flip today—she felt a bit like a lobster at this point. She didn‟t get to do much sunbathing in Michigan what with the long winters and her day job. If anything, she had to go to a fake n‟ bake to get some color. She wanted to savor this little slice of heaven as long as she could. If there weren‟t so many people around she would have lain nude, no tan lines that way.

For the love of Pete, there she went again, flipping over for the opposite side of her body. Without his glasses he couldn‟t be totally sure but both sides looked equally as tempting from his vantage point. Ugh…time to call it a day. She was gonna be the death of him. No way would he ever make any progress when all he could focus on was her. He‟d be on vacation for several more days yet so maybe he‟d have better luck tomorrow. Worse came to worse, he could always pay for lessons. Might be considered cheating to some but he would still be achieving the ultimate goal and he was okay with that.

 

After washing up on shore, too tired to paddle out again, Benji grabbed his sandals and the towel he‟d wrapped them in to hide his keys and he muscled his board to the rented pickup. The beach access he‟d found was only a block from his brother‟s condo where he was staying and he remembered seeing a pub somewhere around where he could probably get some food. He wasn‟t in the mood to cook- not that there was anything to make anyway. His brother hadn‟t stocked up before he left for vacation with his fiancé. Zach and Kelly would still be gone when Benji headed back to Michigan next week so no point in getting a bunch of stuff to leave there either.
