M is for McCoy

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 Leah Walker.

**
I haven't had a boyfriend in five years, but I used that time to grow out of my bad boy phase. I really did grow out of it.

Then I met McCoy. I actually hate him. The idea of having a fling with someone whose criteria for a date is boobs and a pulse makes me feel sick.

But he is so ridiculously hot. I don't usually like men with enormous muscles - I'm small, I'm scared of getting squished - but it's not really about the muscles. It's his face. His eyes are ice blue, and at times they can look really cold, except when he's smiling. Then they sparkle (not like Edward Cullen, might I add).

His lips infuriate me. His smirk makes me want to punch him, really hard, in the face. But his lips are incredible. They're full, and they look soft and when he's talking, I can't stop looking at them, even though the words he says are disgusting, filled with innuendo and completely inappropriate  for the workplace.

I've decided that it's okay to admit he's good-looking. Pretending I don't see it at all makes every day harder because I don't like lying. Not to anyone, but especially not to myself.

So. I'm saying it right here. Radleigh McCoy is hotter than hell in mid-August during a heatwave. But he's still an arse. And that overrides hotness every time.

  1. I love the way Leah describes McMcoy, you get a perfect mental image of him and he really does sound very hot!

    Let's hope her determination to avoid him holds out! :D

  2. Just a few lines of text but I am already wondering: What will happen next? Can he win her over?
    I am visiting for the A-Z blog challenge.

  3. LOL.. I love it... I love how she so does not want to admit to herself that she has the hots for him. Her descriptions of him are PERFECT!

    1. Leah's pretty sensible for the most part - so she tries to keep in mind the fact that he's an idiot lol!

  9. I should override it. Never understood why some girls date guys that are total jerks.

  11. I'm totally with Alex here. (Not with him, with him... but like agree.. oi) If dude's a jerk, doesn't matter how hot he is.

    I tell that to my hubby all the time when he's being a dick. ;)

  12. Ha! Yes, that does override hotness every time. If only you could put them on mute! ;)

  17. My favorite love stories tend to be the ones where the characters don't get along at first then fall in love by the end.

  18. Somehow I don't quite believe Leah when she says being an arse overrides hotness. She might think that now but can she resist?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Don't get sucked in, Leah! At least she is under no illusions and knows he is an arse, though, so she could only blame herself if her heart gets broken. Hmm, is that mean?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Thatta girl, Leah. Keep that last sentence in mind. Hold onto that feeling. ...she's not going to hold onto the feeling, is she?

  21. His lips infuriate me! What a great line!

  22. Oooh... it's only a matter of time between those two, I just know it! :P

It's here! WIP: The Movie!

I can't even tell you have excited I have been about this! It's early, so I have only got round to a few entries so far, but I am having a blast reading them all! Thanks to all who have participated, and of course, to my awesome co-host, Rachel ! It's time for me to introduce you to the characters from my - as yet untitled - WIP. When I first started this blog, my WIP was different, so this might confuse some of you (sorry about that!). This is Leah Walker, my MC. Technically, she is a little young, but she looks perfect! Leah is a physiotherapist for an American soccer team, but she is actually an English girl with a, let's say, colourful past. Radleigh McCoy is the ridiculously good-looking, not to mention exceptionally arrogant soccer player who challenges Leah in every way possible.  This is Freya Phillips. Freya is Leah's best friend and roommate. She works as a coach for the soccer team, and she is both very kind, and totally wild! Th...

IWSG: Books Sales

IWSG time! I'd like to start by thanking Alex J. Cavanaugh for this fab bloghop, and today in particular, it is just the motivation I need to get me blogging again! Today, I'm talking book sales. Now, I don't really know if there is any kind of "average" amount of books sales when you're an indie author. I don't know what is considered a good amount of book sales per month, or whether I am doing better or worse than others. What I do know, is that I am happy with the amount of books I've sold. I self-published because I want people to read my work - and people are reading it - yay! My concern is - what if the sales stop? I know after a time, everyone's book sales will slow down, but I have this fear that I'll check my sales every couple of weeks to find that nobody cares about reading my books anymore.The dreaded 0 will show on my Kindle sales, and I will plummet into a pit of despair. It hasn't happened yet, but Game On has onl...

Camp NaNo Update, and details

To begin with, I want to say thanks again to Emily for allowing me onto her blog as a blogging mentor! Being interviewed is always fun, and Emily is awesome! So, to Camp NaNo! Four days in and I'm still on track! Well, I will be when I finish today's writing. :D I mentioned a while ago that I was planning to battle boy POV, and I'm doing my best to get through it. However, it is hard, so I decided to turn my NaNo story into dual POV so it will be 50% less difficult! I'm not against cheating to get the work done. :p Just to give you a quick recap on what I'm doing for NaNo: In Game On, I have a young soccer player named Jesse Shaw, and he proved quite popular during the A-Z challenge. So, I decided he needed his own spin-off story! It's set at the end of the soccer season, when Jesse and his best friend go to London. I don't have a proper synopsis yet, but this is my guideline for now Soccer sensation Jesse Shaw literally has the world at his fee...
