Why Erotic Romance?
I write both erotic and mainstream (under a
different name) romance but inevitably it’s the erotic romance that gets the
most interest. And this isn’t just from the hot-blooded males, believe me.
Women love erotic romance, I think, because it provides more heated escapism
than mainstream romance ever could.
And for the writer of erotic romance? The
escapism is amazing…even orgasmic, you could say! ; )
Whenever I mention my erotic romance in a
bar or out with friends, people automatically ask about the sex scenes and the
graphic language but that is not why erotic romance writers write this
sub-genre of romance and more often than not, it is not why erotic romance
readers read it.
I love creating sexy, passionate characters
to star in my erotic romances. I love giving those characters sexy, passionate
conflicts and ultimately sexy, passionate love scenes where they can act out
their fantasizes, unleash their pent-up frustration and ride the wave! The
motivations of these characters, their hopes and dreams are ultimately what
makes the story fiery hot and incredibly sexy.
For me, the secret to great erotic romance
is not so much the sex scenes themselves (but obviously they help!), but more
the sexual tension beforehand, and the passion inside the characters. What
makes them tick? What’s their problem/conflict? What do they ultimately want in
their lives? And how is the hero/heroine the one to make them happy?
These are all questions I ask myself when
coming up with a new idea for an erotic romance story. Once I have these
questions answered, I usually have two passionate individuals who NEED to be
together in order to live their best life…happily and erotically.
The heroes and heroines of these stories
have a job to do that is even more vital than the heroes and heroines of
mainstream romance – they have to have a tangible electricity that is so hot it
singes the page. Readers want to be turned on, to be squirming in their seat as
they are reading, reaching for their own partners after reading and unleash
their frustrations…yummy!
This is what happened to me when I was
writing Explicitly English and I hope it does to you when you read it - erotic romance is there to be enjoyed
whether that be alone or with someone else… ; )
Blurb & Buy Link:
Laura Markham needs to forget - just for
awhile. Be someone else for change
- live as her parents will never have the chance to. And for Laura, that means leaving the City for the English
countryside and doing just what the hell she feels like…wherever she feels like
doing it…
British stockbroker, Stephen Cambridge knows by going home to his
country retreat two days early, he's likely to surprise his contracted interior
designer. And when he finds out
she's the woman who performed the solo masterbation show for him on the inward
bound journey, Stephen will do anything to further convince her to miss the
outward bound train and stay with him forever...
I love to hear what makes an erotic romance
steaming hot for you…what do you want in an erotic story?
