Tagline: When a writer travels to interview a handsome beekeeper on his farm, she never expects to stumble upon romance.
Stream of Consciousness Observations: Wow. This issue must have been buried underneath some other ones. Sorry for the delay on this one. This will be a quick and dirty analysis.
I love bees! I even visited an apiary on the big island of Hawaii earlier this year. It was amazing. We got to put on the gear and hold one of the racks of honeycomb, with the bees still crawling on it! But I digress.
"Her experience with the insect was more panic-at-the-picnic rather than admire-in-a-meadow." -- Love that!
Oh, she's a reporter and she reads romance. I like her already.
We get a very nice description of the hero--something I tell my students that they needn't necessarily do. If the choice is between establishing a connection between the hero and heroine or physically describing a character, go for the latter every time.
LOL. Ms.Weeks is really rolling with the romance novel theme. Love it.
Okay even more physical description of him. A quick glance...about 80 words dedicated to describing Adam. Ms. Weeks clearly thought it was important to really paint a thorough picture of Adam.
So, I figured this was just going to be a couple of hours of interviewing, but it looks like it's a few days, which is good for the romance!
"tiny wiggle dance." -- Yes! I love seeing the bees do that.
"When she took the assignment, Erin hadn't expected depth or humor..." -- Well, to be frank, I haven't seen him be humorous yet, but that's a very small complaint.
Okay, there's the humor in in the fourth and fifth to last paragraphs. :)
Oh, I love the ending!
Great story. Gave me lazy summer, golden light, yummy handsome guy with eye crinkles.
