Streams of sweat trickled between her breasts. Rachel flicked on the air conditioning, sending a fervent prayer it might work for once, only to be greeted with gusts more appropriate for an oven.

This weekend Trifextra asked for the first 33 words of our books. Hopefully those words are enough to encourage people to want to keep reading 
This is a reworked beginning to my YA Romance/Fantasy featuring Rachel and a magical Mirror (perhaps some of you are familiar with it 
)

Sounds like last week.
Rachel’s melty beginnings, eh?

I’m intrigued!

What a visual! More please!
Been making the rounds from Trifecta, as I am new. Just posted my piece today.
Also a new follower and fan.

Breast sweat. It’s been that kind of summer everywhere, hasn’t it? Great job with the imagery here. A broken AC is worse than not having any at all. I’ve experienced both this summer. Ugh.
Thanks for linking up. Hope to see you back soon.

I loved this! It took me back to the hottest day of this year when my AC broke.. I really like your discriptions…The first line really draws you in..

Isn’t that what breasts are for? Creating a river flow of sweat?
Nice intro!

Man, this whole month has been like that, so those images are uncomfortably vivid!

Good opening!

accurate writing all the more evocative with the current weather in most of the country… well done

I’m still laughing at the streams of sweat comments from Tedsrutz and Rogo1973 above, so I forgot what I wanted to write! I like the imagery and can totally relate to it, as I feel like this every day when I get in the car after work.

Who knew one little word would cause so much discussion
and I think having Rachel feel so *ugh* will work well for the following scene. 
you’re right, so many can relate!

I’ve missed reading this. Nice opening to Rachel’s story.
July 28, 2012 at 5:22 pm
Very visual, wonderfully descriptive opening.
July 28, 2012 at 3:54 pm
Great opening. I know that feeling. My car in college did this all the time. UGH!
July 28, 2012 at 1:58 pm
that’s how i feel every time i get in my car in this heat!
July 28, 2012 at 7:19 am
You’ve appealed to one of our basest instincts. Great hook!
July 27, 2012 at 9:18 pm
Sweat trickling between her breasts. Yea!
July 28, 2012 at 8:02 am
Streams indicates large volume of moisture…sexy imagery, but probably not the best smell. Just sayin’
July 27, 2012 at 6:27 pm
great….especially the last line
I’m in…very in
July 27, 2012 at 9:19 pm
Streams… No less…
July 27, 2012 at 6:05 pm
A great beginning. Certainly makes me want more and I have read “Rachel Through The Mirror” and it is an interesting story.
July 27, 2012 at 5:33 pm
Yep, you sucked me in. You have no issues with stellar openings, obviously, LOL.
Welcome back, Rachel! I’ve missed you!
