When I think of Romance ~
Roses, slow dancing, and sweet whispers of love are just a very few of the things that come to mind. It could be your lover doing the laundry, holding hands and watching the sunset, or just giving you a night off by putting the kids to bed. Whatever it is that does it for you, it always comes from one expression ~ Love.
Pre-Romance... the foreplay of love
But what about the pre-love that got you to the Romance in the first place?
The anticipation (thigh clenching), heart flutters, and sweaty palms, all those wonderful feelings you experienced before you fell in love. I like to refer to this as the Foreplay of Love.
After the laundry is done, the dishes are put away, and the Lover has been loved, do you like to settle down with a good book in hopes to experience the Foreplay of Love all over again?
As an author, it's my favorite part of the story to write!
What might the Foreplay of Love sound like?
"Tell me, what am I going to find if I keep going?" His fingers inched closer. Her heart raced. "Are you damp," he furthered another inch up her thigh, "wet," he smiled wickedly and she gushed from the inside out. "Or, will you be drenched, sweetheart..." Click here to continue...
NESA Agent Book
Even these trained agents
are defenseless against the Foreplay of Love!!
There's one name that has Agent Nala Dekker reaching for the gun holstered to her leg- Tantum Maddox, the one name her partner said before he died in her arms. After three years of searching for the faceless Tantum Maddox, his name has finally surfaced. Nala jumps on the first plane to Boston in chase of her long-awaited revenge. But instead of taking Tantum in for his crime or shooting him, Nala nearly ends up in bed with the killer. So, it probably would've been a good idea to find out what her Target looked like before she went after him... Cont reading...

Romance is when a guy does the little things like hold my purse without my asking when I go to try clothes on in the store.

Thanks for participating! Really like the hop so far!! I love reading, especially romance. I love reading contemporary, historical and erotic romance. I love the happy ending that is garenteed at the end. My favorite book is Lover Mine by JR Ward! I love John Matthew and Xhex. My favorite romantic moment was when my fiancé asked me to marry him! We meant two years ago right around when summer was ending when my friend and I went out for our last big night out before classes started again. I think it is romantic when he brings me flowers because no one else has ever done it! Thanks so much! Hope everyone else is having a great long weekend!!

For me, romance is all about the trust and respect built between the characters. Since I write BDSM, these elements are very important.

Why I like Romance Novels….The reason I like Romance Novels so much is because it is one place where I can be anywhere like England, Scotland, Rome, Ireland, or anywhere in the US. I can also be in any time like 1200’s Scotland, 1500’s England, 1900’s Chicago. I can be anyone like a princess, a servant, a werewolf, a duchess, a vampire, or a lost soul. But no matter what I get the privilege and the experience to overcome many different obstacles and find love. I am a mother of three teenagers as well and there are many days when I need an escape and my heart needs a rest from the trials of being a parent and trying to do what is best for everyone but yourself. I have overcome cancer, loss, and financial problems and Romance Books let my heart soar and feel free. Let me tell you in this world, and during this time where life can have so many struggles it is great that you can be, have, and do so many things to find love and romance and still be yourself!
