Keep in mind Heart and Soul is a WIP. About the snippet: Maverick is on the phone with his father. His father just asked: "You hired a woman?"
***
"It's been known to happen a time or two."
"Hilarious, boy. I hope she's good at her job and you didn't hire her on her looks alone." He chuckled as if he voiced a funny joke.
"She's very capable." He wasn't going to discuss Rowan's attributes with his father.
"Not a looker then," he said with a sigh of disappointment. "Probably for the best."
"I'll let Rowan know, you'll be sending a band our way," he said completely ignoring his father's last comment.
"I'll be flying there with them."

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?

Always exciting and unusual. Never a dull moment, Karen
Charmaine,
So glad you enjoyed the snippet and the others as well. 🙂
I have a feeling his father is going to have more to say when he actually meets her in person.
Jessica,
He always has an opinion. 🙂
Oh, crap! Dad’s coming to town. No telling what he’s going to say to embarrass his son. LOL (I’m sometimes like that with my grown children–just teasing, mostly.)
Jenna,
Isn’t it fun? 🙂 Though Maverick’s dad can be difficult.
Uh oh, Dad shouldn’t leap to conclusions. And I wonder how happy his son will be to have him arriving in person. And what new wrinkles will all of this throw into the story and…ok, I’m fully invested LOL. Great snippet!
Veronica,
Maverick isn’t going to be overly thrilled. 🙂
Dad may change his opinion once he meets Rowan. I noticed the hints of parent-son conflict.
Aurora,
Just a tad of conflict. 🙂
Dad sounds like a bit of a dinosaur. A woman can’t be attractive and competent? I’m guessing Maverick isn’t too thrilled he’s coming.
Oh, boy. Daddy’s coming for a visit. This does not bode well. Good snippet. Makes me wonder what happened that makes Maverick and his dad at odds.
Diane,
Should be an interesting reunion.
This is an interesting development. Not only does Maverick’s relationship with his father broaden his characterization, it threatens a complication for his attraction to Rowan.
Oh, dear. Somehow I think that that last line may have been the last thing he wanted to hear.
PT,
You got that right. lol
Oooh, he’s pretty sensitive about Rowan. Seems like he already has some issues with his dad. This all could blow up when Dad shows up with the band. 🙂 Great snippet!
Teresa,
Maverick would rather have his father stay put. lol
I love the leap of logic that says if she’s capable she can’t be good looking! His father’s arrival is sure to complicate things.
Botanist,
His father does have his opinions. lol
His dad seems stuck in the Fifties! I wonder what his reaction will be when he meets Rowan.
He does have his opinions.
He does have a way with words. lol
Wow. Way to be progressive, Dad. 😀
Can’t choose your relatives, can you? lol
This visit does not sound like good news! Can’t wait to find out what happens.
Nancy,
It will be interesting. 🙂
I like what Ed said, his relationship to his father might interfere with what he thinks of Rowan. Interesting snippet.
You’ll soon find out.
