My plan for the A - Z Challenge is to write every post as if it were a diary entry by a
character from my WIP. Today's post comes from Radleigh McCoy.
**
I really thought Bailey had learned his lesson about hiring pretty girls. Sooner or later, they will end up in my bed, and then he has to start all over again, finding someone new once they get fired for breaking the rules. Must be exhausting.
The latest one arrived today. She's British, which right away, makes her interesting. I've slept with British girls before, and they're usually kinda ... reserved. Not this one. She's got fire in her eyes. She's tiny, only a little over five feet, I'd say. And smart. She didn't crumble like all the others when I spouted all the usual lines that make women forget their morals and drop their panties, so I guess she earned my respect. I'm not fooled though, I've never met a woman I couldn't charm. They're all the same, really. Throw around some compliments, flash the cash, wine them, dine them. They lap it up. Then, when it's all over, they get to make some extra cash by selling their story to the highest bidder. Sex for me, money for them. It's a win-win.
British girl has more class than to go running to the papers. I can tell. But the rest of the story will be the same. I guarantee it.

I love me some British women! Man-oh-man do I looooveee them. They're super smart, they have a cool accent, they have an excellent sense of heritage and they're sexy as hell!
ReplyDeleteGreat entry Kyra! :D
Cocky much? Whoo wee - I want to beyotch slap him.
ReplyDeleteHi Kyra! Welcome to the Challenge!

LOL, this guy sounds like a real winner. Hope the British girl kicks his behind!
ReplyDeleteHaha love it. As a British girl myself, I highly doubt I'd fall for the charms of this snake! Would love to read more of his cheeky antics, though :)
ReplyDeleteYeah this sounds like a few guys I know from the bar job I use to work. Especially this one guy who was my bartender. There actually became a rule that co-workers couldn't sleep with him. I was one of the few he couldn't charm LMAO
ReplyDeleteHaha, no way she falls for his "charms!" Love the snippet. You really get a feel for his character in just a short time.
ReplyDeleteCocky dude, isn't he?
ReplyDeleteHehehe! He's very confident. Can't wait to see how our smart British gal messes up his world. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, kinda' want to smack him in the face. ;) Good job.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope she knocks some of that cockiness out of him. A good rejection is just what he needs :)
ReplyDeleteBoy, he's sure of himself. Lol
ReplyDeleteI have to say that I really like your idea for the A to Z Challenge. What a great way to get to know your characters better. Very smart idea. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMan, I hope that British girl gets the best of him!!! I do sort of love a cad, though.
ReplyDeleteI love the character voice.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to turn him down!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same...but for British men, of course! Great entry.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Love the voice! :D
ReplyDeleteWhat a jerk! LOL yep, I hope the British girl kicks his butt.
ReplyDeleteSuck a jerk, but great voice!! I second Clarissa. British men, yay!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cocky dude! But I must admit I want to keep reading, if for nothing than to find out how the cool British girl sets him straight:)
ReplyDeleteOh man. I don't like this guy! I think the British girl will teach him a thing or two. LOL. Great job!
ReplyDeleteHe's definitely full of himself! Great job!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like my hubby.
ReplyDeleteHaha! I'm totally kidding! He'd kill me if he knew I said that, lol.
Holy hell! This was amazing. I loved the insight into Radleigh's mind. He is such a misogynistic arse. You've got an excellent voice for him.
ReplyDeleteArrogant yet funny. I like!
ReplyDeleteSuch a creative idea for A-Z challenge!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a complete and utter tosser!
ReplyDeleteI actually read it and thought to myself this guy sounds like a complete tool.
I think I'm starting to like your story a little too much. Which suprises me and worries me, being a guy and all. >_<
Bring on C!

Wow, what a creep. I bet he's fascinating.
ReplyDeleteHoping the Brit gives him a run for his money...or a swift kick in the behind.
Happy Monday! Looking forward to more!
Ha! Us British girls are all the same ;-) You can always tell we're Brits because we drink a lot of tea. LOL. Hope she gives Radleigh the run-around (sounds like he needs it)
ReplyDeleteWow. I sure hope that British gal puts him in his place.
ReplyDeleteOoh interesting! I bet his attitude gets him in some trouble
ReplyDelete"Sooner or later, they will end up in my bed..."
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, my stomach is hurting from the chuckles. What a lady's man. x3
Okay, so I really, really, really want to read your ms! This character is Ah-mazing! LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteGreat voice. He is a total tool. But a very believable one, so, well done!!
ReplyDeleteI think your readers are going to enjoy seeing him taken down a peg or two :-)
ReplyDeleteAWESOME voice! This was fantastic! Well done Kyra ;)
ReplyDeleteHa! I think Radleigh McCoy is going to be soundly mistaken :)
ReplyDeleteThe voice here is excellent. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a very interesting character!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for the challenge. Radleigh definitely needs to be taken down a peg or two!
ReplyDeleteHa! I love how authentic the voice is in this. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!! I love it so much, I might steal it for next year. I can't wait to read more from your characters. Will see you around!
ReplyDeleteFrom Diary of a Writer in Progress
I had classes in college with some girls who were jock groupies. Fun to see it from the guy's perspective.
ReplyDeleteI love the voice you've created. This is such a good idea for the challenge.
ReplyDeleteYou've worked the voice so well---all the best for the rest of the challenge!

Thanks so much for all the comments! Very happy to hear how many of you are looking forward to seeing McCoy being taken down!
ReplyDeleteThe narrator sounds like a character that one would love to hate but he sounds so authentic, not overdone. Great job! I was sad to see the end of the post. It was getting really good.
