EXCERPT
I’d misjudged my mileage, and with no gas gauge, I’d had no
way of telling when I’d run out of gas. I’m luckily able to roll my bike to a
slow and steady stop off on the shoulder of the road. I shake my head, wanting
to give myself a good hard kick for not being more careful. I glance around as
I hop off. Figures I am surrounded by nothing but woods and, my guess, swamps,
and am nearly twenty miles away from any town. This isn’t exactly what I had in
mind when I said I would make use of the tent in my saddlebags. I let out an
exasperated sigh as I undo the chinstrap to my helmet, yanking it off my head,
and let my hair fall around my shoulders. I bite down on my lip and
contemplate. I can’t leave my bike here on the side of the road. I can’t walk
20 twenty miles and back just for gas with it already so dark out, either. I
have no choice. I’ll walk my bike into the woods and set up camp. People do
this all the time, right? No big deal. It’s not like the big bad wolf will jump
out and get me.
I gaze into the woods. Darkness has already fallen over the
trees. They stand silent and still, as even the animals, it seems, have all
gone quiet for the night. I laugh off the thought of the big bad wolf. I guess
it’s alligators I have to watch for down here. Or, is it crocodiles? I shiver,
put on a brave face, and straddle my bike once more. It’ll take all my strength
to waddle it down the ditch and into the woods over the uneven terrain. I
figure a short way off the side of the road and into the woods and I should be fine.
Enough to be out of the line of traffic, but not enough to get myself terribly
lost.
As I wiggle the bike down the small slope, I begin to exert
myself on the flat, but rough terrain as I push the bike forward, throwing my
petite body into it as much as I can. I grunt as I give one more strong push
forward. The bike lurches along slowly as my helmet clangs against the already
scratched black paint. I groan, aggravated with myself more than ever for
letting the gas tank get bone dry.
“What in the hell are you doing?”
I stop dead in my tracks. I hadn’t heard a single footstep,
not even a twig. I swallow hard and throw myself off the bike, flipping out the
kickstand as I do.
I turn slowly to see a rugged looking man staring hard at
me. His dark washed jeans are splattered with dirt and debris at the bottom,
suggesting that he has been romping in the woods beyond. His heavy boots are
caked in a layer of thick mud that’s starting to dry in certain spots. He
places his hands on his hips, making his leather jacket open to display a
well-fitted tee shirt; defined chest muscles are visible even under the
moonlight. His gray eyes shine and shimmer under the light of the full moon as
they glare at me in an almost threatening way. No, not threatening. Warning me
of something, and somehow worried. His brown hair is styled fairly nice, which
is surprising considering the five o’clock shadow on his face. He’s much larger
than me. Well, almost everyone is larger than me, but he must be over 6 feet
tall. Huge, compared to my tiny 5’5” frame.

Loved this book, this is the second time I
have been introduced to a retold fairy tale and I really enjoy them. It’s a new
habit for me, I will keep on reading these stories, it’s addicting. The story
more than held my attention as I read it, couldn’t wait to see what would
happen next. I want to thank the author for allowing me to read and review her
book. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
