Keep in mind Heart and Soul is a WIP.
This is in Maverick's POV.
***
Maverick couldn't be happier with Rowan and the way she'd taken charge tonight. She was a hard worker and knew how to handle the bands with finesse. When he overheard one the bouncer say Rowan had stepped on stage to save the lead singer from making a fool out of himself, he had to see it for himself. Stage fright was no laughing matter and could prove disastrous, but Rowan came to the rescue, took the microphone, and sang. Her voice mesmerized him, and for a moment, he felt he'd seen her on stage before, singing that very song but then Jesse stepped up and joined in on the chorus, and the image slipped away. Her voice could mesmerize a crowd. It certainly had captured his attention.
She'd only been a part of his life for days, and yet he felt he knew her much longer. He still couldn't shake the feeling he'd known her in the past. He shook his head to rid himself of thinking about it further.
(This is the end of 10 sentences. for Weekend Warriors. Continue for Snippet Sunday 300 words or less, if you wish. :))
He was a true believer in leaving the past behind and live in the now. Now, he had one hell of a stage manager. What he could bank on was that Rowan knew how to handle a bit of stage fright with finesse. Love 'em and Leave 'em really shone after her save. Vocals from Jesse proved iconic when he belted out a Journey's song. His energy could be compared to a ball of fire once he began to enjoy the gig. Tristan Barnes ripped off a few guitar solos that added a touch of depth to songs too. His ability on the fretboard nearly stole the show tonight.
Rowan was right. They'd be perfect for Merry Mayhem.

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?
It’s good that she was able to help Jesse, but I wonder what this will mean for Rowan’s singing career. Will she want to stay behind the scenes or be on stage more?
She’s more focused on why she’s connected to Haley Rose.
He really is smitten by her. I like the inner thoughts.
He is smitten.
Her trip to the stage is clearly going to have repercussions, and I eagerly await learning what they will be.
I’m glad you’re intrigued.
Very nice!
I once dreamed of being in a band. Sadly, I have all the musical talent of a dust bunny. Some would say I have about that much writing talent as well.
My cousin’s and I wanted to be in a band but it was not meant to be. However, I love going to concerts. 🙂
I’m glad he noticed her singing. Is he much older than her?
Aurora,
Not much older.
You have brought so much excitement in this snippet. I’m eager to read more. Thanks, Karen
Charmaine,
I’m so glad you’re intrigued.
Enjoyed his flow of thoughts in this snippet. I have a feeling he’s going to start putting two and two together though, re her situation. Which will be fun to read! Terrific excerpt as always…
Veronica,
He just might. 🙂
Maverick seems to be the sort who won’t let this nagging idea go away until he solves it. And that might open a very big can of worms. Looking forward to more!
Jenna,
So glad you’re intrigued.
I also love his inner thoughts. Looks like he’s found a muse!
Amy,
So glad you enjoyed the snippet.
I really like the story and the snippet!
I like the part when he feels like he has seen her sing that song on stage before.
