Setup for this snippet: WIP from Heart and Soul. This is a snippet from my new 'rock star romance' that I'm working on. It's in the very early stages.
This week:
Rowan strode over to one of the walls to admire the photos.
Maverick's POV.

"I really like these; gives the place character," she told him. "I recognize quite a few of the bands too." She leaned in close to admire one photo in particular.
"The bands are what this place is all about. Before I made it the Heart and Soul, it was a dance hall and bar back in the early 60s called Blue Suede Shoes. It closed in the late 80s and stood empty for years before it opened its doors again in 1997. This time, a restaurant that served heart-attack dishes, the greaser the better, but it closed due to poor management. To say the least, I was thrilled when I found a lot of those old photos you see on the wall stacked on the top shelf in the storage area."
"I'm surprised you opened Heart and Soul as a coffeehouse to showcase the bands and not a bar," she said as she admired yet another photo.
"I assure you, we aren't breaking any rules," he teased and winked with a smile when she turned to meet his gaze.
Her lips curved.

Love to hear your feed back. 🙂
About Heart and Soul...
80s rock star, Haley Rose went missing without a trace on October 31 1988 and was eventually presumed dead. Three decades later, a thirty-year old woman, Rowan Beckett recalls things only Haley Rose would know and she can belt out songs in the same fashion as the missing 80s star. However, Rowan couldn't be the missing rock star since the woman would now be in her fifties. Could Haley Rose have came back reincarnated as Rowan Beckett?

I can picture this scene well.
A neat reason to showcase the old photos. Is she in one of them?
What a nice bit of backstory. Gives a lot of insight into his character. Love your Wall of Fame graphic!!
Interesting back story details for the bar! Enjoyed the snippet as always…
Love that the coffee shop has a backstory.
Terrific snippet with an underlying sense of romance ahead.
They’ve found an interest in common. That’s important.
What a lovely bit of descriptive writing. Great job, Karen!
Not everyone who likes music can–or does–drink. I think a music cafe is a great idea, myself. 🙂 Great dialogue!
Really enjoyed this snippet, interesting backstory!
Aww I like they’re flirting!
That sounds like a fun coffeehouse. I also like how their potential relationship seems to be ramping up.
Love the history of this place!
As someone who does not drink, I love the idea of a music cafe as opposed to a bar. I live a straightedge lifestyle, which the movement was musically influenced. Punk hardcore bands in the early 80’s started the movement. 🙂
Fascinating backstory. Love learning the history of a place. I think it’s cool that it’s a coffee place and not a bar–even though he would make more money selling liquor. I wonder why??? I love how this story is progressing.
Great snippet, Karen and I loved the photo as well.
This creates good atmosphere while filling n some history. Nicely done, Karen!
Interesting storyline. I look forward to reading more.
