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.
Last week: Maverick was searching for Rowan's resume as if this will explain why he's enamored with the woman.
This is Maverick's POV.
***
The women went wild for that romantic crap and now he had his own ideas on how to please a woman. It wasn't just about sex–though that was an excellent benefit to a relationship. He also enjoyed, seeing the woman he was with, light up from a small gesture as simple as walking her to her door after a date or buying her little things she enjoyed like her favorite movies or music. He loved that part of the relationship, the 'wooing' as his Aunt Pam put it. Only, he never found the one he wanted to get down on one knee and ask that all too important question. He realized he could only woo a woman for so long before she lost interest and moved on to someone who had the balls to commit completely.
His hand landed on the resume he'd printed from the email Rowan had sent him. His eyes scanned the page with the typical information but there was nothing that screamed, I'm the best, hire me. He remembered she had called him to follow-up on her application and after their twenty minute or so conversation, he found himself telling her she had the job.

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?

Oh there definitely sounds like some magic going on there. Great snippet, Karen. 🙂
Siobhan,
Just a tad at work.
I’m curious to find out why he’s so enamored of her without having ever met her.
PT,
It will eventually get there. 🙂
He sounds really sweet. And of course, after “practicing” with so many women, he’s confused about his feelings.
Aurora,
So true.
Smitten with the idea of her, he has a plan. Outstanding snippet.
It’ll be interesting to get to the bottom of what intrigued him so much he hired her over the phone, sight unseen. I enjoyed the glimpse into his past with women, sort of bittersweet because he seems so nice (I think I’m overempathizing with all the women who had high hopes for him and then drifted away eventually LOL!)…but hopefully your heroine will be The One! Great snippet, can’t wait for more.
In love with an idea of what someone is. I hope this turns out HEA for him.
It sounds as though she did a great job of ‘wooing’ him during that long telephone call.
Ed,
It must have been some phone call. 🙂
Interesting look into his thoughts!
Amy,
Glad you enjoyed the snippet.
That was one mighty phone call … will we find out what was said?
Iris,
It sure was.
I really like this guy! He sounds like a great catch.
Carrie-Anne,
Glad you think so.
Mysterious! Maybe it was just meant to be…
It sounds like he knows how to set a woman’s hert a-flutter – now he knows, he just has to put it into practice! 🙂
As the others said, he sounds like a nice guy, a guy who deserves someone special. I’m curious, too, what intrigued him about Rowan. Can’t wait to read more.
He doesn’t know what, but something set her apart from the others. 😀
