Why I Like To Write Romances Especially Hot Ones?
You probably can’t believe this but there are people out
there who hate romance books. And to make it worse, a lot of those people are
women. Yeah. Weird, isn’t it? I have a hard time understanding it too.
Considering women are naturally emotional creatures (duh!), and
the best romances are filled to the brim with all kinds of feelings, you would
think all of us would love them.
To me, romances have so much going for them along with all
the mushy stuff. First and foremost, they guarantee you a happy ending. Then they
offer numerous genres such as general contemporary, historical, suspense,
paranormal, fantasy, science fiction, young adult (aww! puppy love) and the
newest, horror. Yep. You read it right. The slasher, chill ‘em, thrill ‘em with
blood and gore type. Hey, I don’t write it. I merely report it.
Now when it comes to my preferred reading material, I want
them to be hot. It can be one of the first six above, but they need to be
scorching with no bedroom door shut. I do read some young adult, but please leave
the sex out. Even though they have the word adult
in their genre description, most of the characters are younger than
eighteen. The heavy kissing and petting can get a little steamy and that’s
okay. Normal teenager stuff.
So when it came to writing my own book, it made sense I
would write hot. I love reading a book where the hero and heroine have a hard
time keeping their hands to themselves. I love how they have a problem thinking
about anything but each other. When they finally get together, it’s so
explosive, that the pages become singed by their lovemaking. Though they may
call it having sex or by some other provocative word, we know what’s going to
happen. It will be making love by the
end of the book.
That’s what happens to Collin in the beginning of Circle of Desire. He has to pat down
Olivia, check her for a locator beneath her skin. And for him to do that, she
must be naked. He finds he can’t control his hands, and her enthusiastic
reaction is a big turn on for him. Before he knows it, he … wait! You have to
read the book. I will say that he’s a gentleman and keeps his clothes on. I do
love to torment others with little teasing tidbits.
What I like best about that scene is that later you find out
Collin is all about controlling his emotions. And every time Olivia is nearby,
he’s so turned on, he’s nearly helpless. So he tries to twist the attraction
into a means to manipulate her. But as time goes by, you can’t help but wonder
if it didn’t backfire.
So to answer the question in the title of this post, I like
them hot because it heightens not only the passionate love scenes, but all the
emotions between the hero and heroine throughout the book.
So what are some of
your favorite hot books?
