There are authors who give you the emotion, the sensuality without showing everything and yes, I love those scenes just as well. And Jimmy Thomas! He's my idea of gorgeous. More importantly, I've met the man and he truly is very sweet, very charming and very nice...a true gentleman.<br /><br />Dawn,<br />There is a certain ebb and flow to love scenes, to making us wait, to making us anticipate the first kiss, the first touch, but as I said, it must be done well. I love it when an author can describe a kiss so wonderfully, I actually sigh.<br /><br />MarieMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18328966473242925851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5083633325209012024.post-16537830348679146242012-05-02T21:52:02.244-04:002012-05-02T21:52:02.244-04:00Loved your article!

I'm like you; I like to have it all as long as it fits the story line-as Judy was just mentioning.<br />I do like when the author makes you wait a little for the full throttle, but it's also frustrating. Just another way to keep the reader reading:) And when I expect and am lead to believe the H&H will take me all the way, I want details and many pages!Dawn Kundahttp://www.dawnkunda.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5083633325209012024.post-90542515472070920042012-05-02T10:16:50.375-04:002012-05-02T10:16:50.375-04:00I liked Lucy Monroe's explanation (paraphrased...I liked Lucy Monroe's explanation (paraphrased): A love scene needs to reveal something about the characters or it serves no purpose. Certain word choices are distracting, pulling me out of the story because I'm more aware of the word than what it was meant to convey. Some writers have a gift for writing those scenes, and some do not. I enjoy the ones who write the scenes well. There are also writers who create loving scenes without actually revealing anything. They're able to make you catch your breath, and nothing's actually happening. It's more intriguing than many of those writers who are blatant. Thanks, Marie, for the sharing the delicious Jimmy Thomas as well. :-DJudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07843239483061220089noreply@blogger.com
