Hi everyone! Okay, as promised we will continue on with the word of the day. Today’s word is sweetheart.
I found my favorite definition for this word online at www.yourdictionary.com. The definition is as follows:
noun
1. someone with whom one is in love and by whom one is loved; lover darling: a term of endearment
2. Slang a. very agreeable person or an excellent thing
3. One who is loved.
4. Used as a familiar term of endearment.
5. Informal a. A person regarded as generous or lovable.
b. Something cherished for its excellent qualities.
adjective
Involving privileged treatment of a favored party; illegally or unethically favorable: “another land grab, another sweetheart deal based on political influence” (Village Voice).
Well that pretty much says it all. Yet, I have a feeling that some of you, just like me, want to say a little more. A definition can give you the basics of the word, but not the true feeling. Remember the project and point of this blog is to also find the feeling behind the word.
In “Dark Days”, the second book in the series of “Prime Immortals”, Alessar is accused of having a sweetheart and Dylan is a little upset. Now where in the definition above does it talk about that particular feeling? Why is Dylan upset? She has no claim to Alessar and she has already decided to ignore the feelings that he has aroused in her and look to another man. Who, you ask, is the other man? Well, I can’t give it all away, now can I?
That’s all for today friends, remember to submit your word of the day and maybe if your word is chosen you will be the lucky recipient of a sneak peek into the series to come. “The Knight Trilogy”, a sexy story of a brother and sister detective team working together to solve crime and ultimately discover who it was that sent their parents to a watery death.
Until next time. Read On!… HR Phillips
