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 informs Rowan he once played in a band.
Maverick's POV. Rowan is speaking first.
***
"So why don't you tell me which band you played in. I'm intrigued now."
He fished out his phone and looked for a video of the Roadside Reapers. Finding one where she could see him front and center as he played the bass and sang alongside Fields Harper who belted out the lyrics with a finesse that blended perfectly with his growling technique he'd mastered as a youth.
Rowan took the phone from him and watched the performance at The Hanger ten years ago if he could believe that. She swayed slightly to the beat. She didn't say a word until the video had finished. "I didn't know you played with the Roadside Reapers. They broke up a while back, didn't they?"
"Four years ago," Katie offered, "Though Maverick left the band before the final split and opened this place."

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?
Another great snippet , and I’m dying to know more about Rowan
Nice to see her reconnecting to the music. Great snippet, Karen.
Siobhan,
Music is the key…
I love the back story revealed in this snippet! It will be interesting to see how it comes into play later in the story.
So glad you enjoyed the snippet.
Roadside Reapers. What a name! #8sunday
Glad you like the band’s name.
I suspect this band is a significant piece of information. Or maybe the significant piece is just that he was a musician.
Ed,
Maybe… for both. 🙂
You’ve left a big question mark here. I will definitely tune in next week.
Charmaine,
Glad you’re intrigued.
She doesn’t exactly seem star struck, but at least she knows they were!
Alexis,
Yep, not starstruck.
Lots more to come on this aspect of the story, I’m sure, and I can’t wait to read it! Enjoyed the excerpt…
So glad you did. 🙂
The plot thickens . . . very nicely, Karen!
Nancy,
Thank you.
Great snippet!
Siren,
Thank you.
At least she recognizes his band–and she seems to like the music, too. Maybe that will soothe his wounded ego.
And… the plot thickens. Nice job
Curious to see where this new snippet of information and back story leads.
