That angelic mug of his: I felt like blowing it to smithereens.

Synopsis
Cécile, a stylish forty-seven-year-old, has spent the weekend visiting her parents in a provincial town southeast of Paris. By early Monday morning, she’s exhausted. These trips back home are always stressful and she settles into a train compartment with an empty seat beside her. But it’s soon occupied by a man she instantly recognizes: Philippe Leduc, with whom she had a passionate affair that ended in her brutal humiliation thirty years ago. In the fraught hour and a half that ensues, their express train hurtles towards the French capital. Cécile and Philippe undertake their own face to face journey—In silence? What could they possibly say to one another?—with the reader gaining entrée to the most private of thoughts. This is a psychological thriller about past romance, with all its pain and promise.

I will be reviewing this book in September. It’s translated from French, and while t’s a bit rough in editing, I’m sure that will all be corrected for the final draft.

LOL. Good tease! The cover looks like an old mystery pulp.
My teaser this week is from an inspirational novel, which I really enjoyed:

I liked the cover too. This quote was one of the milder ones!
Sounds intriguing. My teaser on my adult blog comes from this romantic suspense title – Hell or High Water by Julie Ann Walker. Happy reading!
Oh, it is and gets much more intriguing:)
What a great teaser! I couldn’t help but chuckle after reading it. This does sound like a good one.
The next couple of lines would make you cringe. LOL
Sounds like a fascinating way to tell their stories — through their thoughts. I’ll read this book just to see how that’s done!
My Tuesday post features SERENA.
Yes. And boy do you get a lot!
I love your teaser! The first line made me think that it was going to be sweet, then I get to the second line and I’m like, “Wow, OK.” I was kind of stunned for a second!
Thanks for stopping by my post!
It doesn’t get any sweeter as you read more either. LOL
Sounds like she has issues with him. And it sounds interesting. Hope you’re enjoying it! My Teaser
She has issues, period!
LOL I can relate sometimes….

This is a fun teaser – it makes me want to read more! Might have to add it to my ever-growing TBR, it sounds like an interesting concept. Thanks for visiting! 🙂
Interesting and then…..!
