Sweet
on Wilde
by Fabiola Francisco
Synopsis
Eight months ago, I made a
deal with my best friend. This wasn't your typical pact. No, we had to take a
different route. The deal was that if we were still single by fall, we would
join online dating. Yes…now I am that girl. Just me, though, because she met a
guy and saved herself from the awkwardness of dating people you meet via the
Internet.
Cheesy pick up lines.
Inappropriate messages.
Disaster dates.
I don’t want to be
"Savannah, profile 8713," but a pinky promise is a promise you keep.
What I wasn’t counting on was meeting a guy at the local bar.
So what happens when you
decide to open yourself up to new opportunities? You might just cross paths
with someone who makes you believe in love. Parker Wilde brought out the best
in me and understood the worst, but when an amazing opportunity presents itself
and our lives take different directions, is being sweet on Wilde enough for us?

Excerpt
The music blasting from
the speakers draws me, and I move my body to the beat as I sit by the bar
facing the dance floor. Although Southern is a more laid back bar, it has a
small area designated for the patrons that want to dance without feeling like
they’re disrupting the flow of the service.
“Let’s go dance.” Parker
is eyeing me mischievously, obviously enjoying as I move to the music. The
stress he came in with has now totally eased out of his body. He is back to his
relaxed, confident self.
“It’s okay. I’m fine here,
not much of a dancer,” I lie because the thought of dancing with him throws me
off.
“Really? You haven’t
stopped moving. Come on,” he reaches his hand out to me. Taking a moment to
watch him as he stands before me with his hand out, I can appreciate how
good-looking he is. I take his hand and let him lead me towards the small crowd
dancing in the center of the venue.
“Sweet Home Alabama”
begins to come through the speakers, and as soon as everyone hears the familiar
introduction, they get in position, ready to dance the steps taught to us from
a young age. In perfect unison, we all begin the line dance, looking like
something out of Footloose. As I’m turning with the beat, I notice
Parker beside me, following along without missing a step. I look down at his
feet, and smile, shaking my head.
Two more songs come on,
each with its own line dance to accompany the music, and we all dance. The next
song that comes on is a slower one, so I head back to the bar in need of a cold
beer to cool down. Line dancing always gets me excited but it can be tiring.
Before I make it out of the crowd, an arm jerks me back and turns me. I’m
facing Parker, his smile causing my heart rate to speed out of control. “One
more,” he says, beginning the two-step to Billy Currington’s lyrics. Leading me
around the dance floor, Parker is confident, his grip on me firm as we move
through the other people dancing.
“You know, for someone who
mocks my boots, yours look quite worn and broken in.”
He chuckles, his grip
tightening around my waist. “I may not be from Tuscaloosa, but I am a southern
boy, Savannah.” His drawl heavier, making his point.

Alpha Book Club's Review
Five stars
I thought this was a beautiful, sweet and sassy love story with the right amount of spice.
Savannah made a deal with her best friend, Emily, that if they were both single after eight months, they
would try online dating. Unfortunately for Savannah, Emily found someone but she didn’t. Keeping her
end of the bargain, she signed up with Perfect Match. But who knew that love was just around the
corner at her favorite hangout.
I absolutely loved this book. I thought it was a beautiful and sweet story about love sneaking up on you
when you’re looking in the wrong places.
I felt that the love scenes between Parker and Savannah were hot. But I loved that Savannah needed to
have a connection with Parker before she jumped into bed with him. Such a refreshing change from
other books I’ve read.
And speaking of connections, I felt a strong connection to both characters. I could see a bit of myself in
each of them and in turn, these characters burrowed their way into my heart. Thanks to Ms. Francisco
for writing such a beautiful and inspiring book.
