Again this week, I had no trouble picking a favorite sex scene. How could I deny the sexy beast that is Lothaire? “I think I’m gonna like this, Lothaire,” she said, just before she twirled her tongue around the bulbous crown. “Suck it…into your mouth.” She nodded, then leisurely brought it between her lips. Another groan broke from his chest. His pleasure made her bold, and she drew him deeper, licking as she sucked. When his head briefly fell back, Ellie realized that she Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten–January 13th
10. After months of our toilets gurgling every time they are flushed, we decided we might have a septic problem. And we are talking big time gurgling – I mean those suckers were angry. So now we need an entire new drywell. Awesome. I can’t wait for my back yard to be dug up and spend a ton of money on..septic. Who wants to spend money on septic? *cries* You are also probably asking, who wants to TALK about my septic problems on top ten? Not, sexy huh?

Where Are All The Nice PNR Heroes?
Yesterday on Twitter we were talking about Lothaire, and Jane asked, where are the nice guys in PNR? There does seem to be a lot of bad boys out there. I love to see a bad boy be brought down by love. Lothaire has walked the Earth for centuries, always getting his way. I am amused by how his heroine Ellie makes him learn how to be unselfish (somewhat). Dmitri from Nalini Singh’s Archangel’s Blade is another very naughty hero. So wicked. Again, I love how he stays wicked throughout the book. Continue Reading
