Tagline: "You'll know when you meet him," Mama had said--and she was so right!
In a Nutshell: Sarah is pet-sitting, but can't find the key in the snow when she arrives at Mrs. Holton's house. A male neighbor helps her look for it.
Observations: This story clearly showed the heroine falling for the hero. Often, because of the tight word count, authors skimp on showing the attraction. Not here. First, he's handsome:
The voice belonged to a tall, good-looking man standing on the driveway next to the door. Even through the swirling snow, I saw that he had the bluest eyes I'd ever seen.
...those blue eyes stole my breath.
His smile made his eyes crinkle at the corners.
And his character and status...?
He was a good neighbor, too.
"...I'm from Michigan, but I moved here six months ago--the town was too small for both me and my ex."
Okay, so far, so good, but what about the magic?
An odd sensation swept through me, as if something had shifted inside.
The warm feeling grew warmer...
A shock of electricity zipped through me as our hands clasped.
All righty then. Looks like a potential boyfriend! The reader will feel confident that even though she was recently jilted by her fiance, Sarah should go for it with Mr. Blue Eyes. Woman's World likes to encourage positive, hopeful feelings and stories like this one do that.
