This came straight from Elizabeth's blog and I thought I would share. Just so you know Romero is one of my favorites. He reminds me so much of my husband with that possessive temper but very loveable. Izzy is his number one priority and would die for her, so call me crazy but any man that loves like this is a man of my dreams. So I have mine already but it doesn't hurt to read about others...lol

****************
Speaking of temper. For those of you who've read Romero. You remember the scene at Charles birthday party where Romero loses it? We were in Isabel's head the whole time. We know he was incensed but would you like to see what was really going through his head? Here is the beginning of the scene
in his head. I'll post the bonus scene in it's entirety later this
week! And I just want to add. I'd forgotten how fun it is to write
Romero. =)

For the first few minutes of Isabel's
dance with her father Romero watched solemnly. She was upset at him and though
he couldn't really blame her... He stopped with that thought and pulled the front
of his shirt to his nose. Fuck. He did reek of Cici's perfume. His only consolation was that as soon
as he gave her the ring and explained everything she'd understand. Izzy had
to understand Cici had nothing on her. No girl did. Lately he was beginning to
think he couldn't even breathe without her. That's why he'd got her the ring.
It symbolized just how serious he was about her and how much she meant to him. He wouldn't freak her out and
call it an engagement ring but he did want her to know she was everything to
him now.
The laughter he'd been hearing
from the bar where Michael hung out with the other Navy guys erupted again.
Romero glanced back slowly at them, his jaw tightly clenched. The guy had very
obviously looked his way earlier and Romero had stared him down until the
asshole looked away. Isabel said her sister didn't have any ulterior motives inviting
Michael here tonight—the guy she'd once tried setting her up with. But Romero
knew better. Pat always had ulterior motives when it came to this shit and he
put nothing past her ass.
Michael wasn't at the bar anymore.
Taking a swig of his beer Romero glanced around the room and noticed a
photographer snapping photos of Izzy and her soon-to-be Mayor father on the
dance floor. Just past them he saw Pat and Charles talking to what appeared to
be a reporter. He closed his eyes for a moment the reality of just how different
his and Isabel's lives were, sinking in. But he reminded himself that she'd
assured him more than once now that it wasn't an issue for her.That's all that
should matter.
Alex nudged him. "I heard
they called the cops on your uncles again."
That snapped Romero out of his ominous
mood and he laughed. "Yeah the old hag next door who always has a hair up
her ass came over and asked Manny to move his car again. She hates it when he
parks in front of her house." He laughed again. "And you know Manny
he had a few choice words for her. So she called the cops."
Alex laughed now with him.
"Sal said she tried to press charges on Max, too."
Romero had begun to take another
swig of his beer and nearly spit that out laughing again. "Yeah well, she can't stand
either one of them. So in the middle of her and Manny going at it on the front
porch, Max drives up. He gets out of his car and walks up to them, tells her, her
ass don't look so big in them shorts and then asks her out." He had Alex
laughing as hard as he did when he first heard the story from his uncles a few
days prior. "She wanted him arrested for sexual harassment."
He glanced up and noticed Isabel and
her dad weren't on the dance floor anymore. Still laughing he did a quick scan
and then saw her standing with Michael across the room—just the two of them.
Instantly his humorous mood was sucked out of him. Like a car coming to a screeching
stop so did the sound in the room as his eyes met with Isabel's. Michael moving in
closer to her had him putting his beer down. She turned to Michael with a sweet
smile as the fucker leaned into her face with a purpose. With that Romero was
on his feet pushing his chair back.
He heard Alex ask him something
but the blood already thrumming loudly in his ears drowned everything out. He did
however hear Valerie's louder more anxious
words as he began walking toward Isabel and Michael fists already clenched.
"Oh shit, Alex. You
better go with him."
