This weeks teaser comes from The Siren by Tiffany Reisz. 

"I've got a crisp new Benjamin for the first person who can give me a good synonym for thrust, noun form.  Go."  she said, her voice both honeyed and sardonic. 

Although irritated by her cavalier attitude and her unfortunate attractiveness, Zach couldn't help but scroll though his substantial mental thesaurus. 

"Push, lunge, shove, attack, force, jab," he rattled off the words. 

"His slow, relentless jabs sent her reeling..." she said.  "Sounds like commentary on a boxing match.  Goddammit, why are there no good synonyms for thrust?  Bane of my existence.  Although..." She set her keyboard aside and turned to face him for the first time.  "I do love a man with a big vocabulary."

Hahaha!  I don't know how many times I've asked my hubby for a synonym for a certain word just while writing reviews.  I love this quote and it's the first time that Nora and Zach meet in person.

What's your tease???
