Keep in mind Heart and Soul is a WIP.
About the snippet: Katie is skeptical about Maverick's interest in Rowan.
This is in Maverick's POV. Katie is speaking first.
***
"Dammit, I like her and we need her. So keep your hot bod in check."
"I don't bed every pretty woman I meet," he said defensively. He may have in the past but in the last few years, he'd changed his ways. He was more selective. He even had an adult relationship that lasted more than a few months. The last one had made it to four months to be exact until said girlfriend decided she wanted a boyfriend who was a rock star and not one that had been a rock star. So what was Katie complaining about?
She took a seat at the counter. "I've been working with you from the beginning."

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?

Does he realize four months is not exactly a long-term relationship? Katie has been working for him longer than that.
Aurora,
I don’t believe he does. lol
Sounds like Katie is going to explain his faults to him in more detail. Enjoyed the snippet! I really want to see these characters succeed…
Katie isn’t afraid to tell him. 🙂
Here comes the lecture . . . I think he needs to listen this time because he’s going to need her advise .
Nancy,
He sure does but will he listen?
Well, maybe he is making an effort to change his ways. The last girlfriend dumped him it seems like, so I’d want to give him the benefit of the doubt. I just hope he does want to change. Snippet really sucks you in, Karen.
Jenna,
I’m so glad you were sucked into the snippet. 🙂
Oh my, when he falls, it will be a hard landing. lol 🙂 Loads of emotion in this. Good writing!
Karen I saw a comment you left on a blog — that you forgot to add your name to the list. I just added it. I’m sorry I didn’t see it earlier in the day. 🙂
Teresa,
No worries. It was my fault. Thanks so much for adding my link. 🙂
Thanks for posting on my blog and linking me to yours.
I loved what you have shared here. I can feel the tension between the two of them and this idea of him being a former rock star and she wanting an active rock star now is great. 🙂
Runa,
So glad you enjoyed the snippet. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
Yes, Katie would know all the signs to look for, when to know he’s attracted to someone.
Katie has known him for a while. She does know the signs. 🙂
I bet Katie has a lot more to say, and he may need to hear it! I like her.
Elaine,
I’m so glad you do and yep, she has a few things to say.
I like the way this conversation is going! 😀
Well, four months might not be long, but if the lack of him being the “rockstar boyfriend” was the only issue behind the girlfriend leaving, then I’d be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Providing he is truly sincere about the “changing his ways” bit.
His thoughts made me chuckle. Four months in a relationship … well hello …. and what a bad reason to leave him. Hope he’ll find somebody for longer soon.
Now comes the lecture. LOL Katie has his number. I don’t have a sense (or missed it earlier) of their relationship. Buddies? Has she had a crush on him that he never notices? Big sister?
Sounds like she knows him rather better than he would like 🙂
The reincarnation angle is very cool!
Sounds like Katie knows her friend’s ways quite well.
The Real Cie,
I’m glad you like the reincarnation angle. 🙂
