Grab your current read. Let the book fall open to a random page. Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.

Please avoid spoilers!
My Current Read is Northern Lights by Nora Roberts which I started a few months ago and put it down to read something else. There has been a TV Movie that was on lifetime this past week so I p
lan on reading it to finish it up anyways although I know the ending based on the movie.
“Her Breath Steamed out as she fired again and obliterated what was left.”
“Then she picked up her spent shells,walked back inside and replaced the rifle.”

Book Description--
From Publishers Weekly
Roberts shines again with a nuanced tale of the Alaskan wilderness and the appealing eccentrics who cluster there. Former Baltimore cop Nate Burke accepts the unlikely post of police chief of Lunacy, Alaska (pop. 506), to stave off the depression caused by divorce and the traumatic death of his partner, for which he holds himself partly responsible. His early days in the close-knit town are quiet except for minor disturbances and a dalliance with a feisty bush pilot, Meg Galloway. Then Meg's father, who disappeared 16 years before, is found frozen in a remote mountain cave, an ice ax in his chest. The discovery that Pat Galloway was murdered—most likely by a local—shakes up the town and drives his murderer to commit a second, cover-up killing. Though state authorities dismiss that death as suicide, Nate pursues it as a crime—a decision that puts him at odds with many outspoken Lunatics, as the townspeople call themselves. With quiet inexorability he fields the flak, uncovers long-forgotten events and finds a tough but loving balance with the fiercely independent Meg. Though billed as romantic suspense, the novel forsakes artificial genre conventions in favor of a wry, affectionate look at community bonds, generational wounds and soul-testing landscapes. The result is a richly textured novel that captures the intimacy of smalltown police work, the prickliness of the pioneer spirit and the paradox of a setting at once intimate and expansive, welcoming and hostile, indisputably American and yet profoundly exotic to those in the Lower 48.

Hi again! Thanks for visiting and commenting. I like mostly fiction (women's, light mystery, some classics, some romance, some best-sellers).
Enjoyed this book. I recorded the movie but have not watched it yet.
I really like your teaser! I always thought Nora was a fluffy romance type of writer, but I think I could have been wrong
