Sizzling heat. Clenched teeth. Desire beyond reason…or rationale.
It’s not easy to write a scene that captures your reader’s imagination
and attention.
To hold them in a grip so tight…they go up in flames!
Today, I want you to share your Steamy Hot scene, the one that sends the reader up in flames.
It doesn’t have to be graphic. Tension can increase the pounding of our blood.
Lead us to the moment…keep us hanging by a thread.
To start us off, here’s an excerpt from Brenna Chase’s book: North and South
“What do you want, love?”
She swallowed, closed her eyes. “You, inside me.”
“God, yes, I want that too,” he murmured. “Look at me,
Margaret.”
Margaret.”
She turned round. He had moved slightly away from her.
Margaret leaned forward, cupped his face, and pressed her lips to his. She slid
them back and forth, teasing and caressing. His breath hitched, and she opened
her eyes and smiled at him. Mr. Thornton gazed back at her, his expression
determined, hungry. Her chest rose and fell on a deep breath, desire coiling
through her, hot and heady, as he caught one of her hands and tugged her gently
toward him. She straddled him, his erection teasing her cleft as she settled on
his lap, and the rapid thud of his heart matched her own as her breasts crushed
against his hard chest, sending more thrilling sensations rushing through her
body. He drew her face down toward his again, and she licked her lips, parting
them for the coming kiss. His mouth closed over hers. His tongue delved inside
to claim and coax hers, while his hands moved to her hair, his fingers
uncoiling and sifting through the thick strands.

His mouth gentled, his tongue dancing with hers,
gliding around, stroking along it. Margaret trembled and ached more than she
had before with each caress. When he began to leave her, heedless of her own
need for breath, her hands moved to his shoulders, and her lips closed around
the agile muscle, drew it into her mouth, and suckled. His low groan reverberated
throughout her body, and Margaret, encouraged, repeated the caress.

Okay people! Brenna showed you hers – now it’s your turn. Don’t forget to leave your book title so interested parties can rush out and buy!
Hi Sheri! Thanks again for fitting me in to share a sexy snippet!
You're always welcome to join me on The Flames!!
Wow, Brenna! That's a heck of a thing to wake up to!
Very nice!
Thank you, James!
Here's mine, from my new book coming out next month, "Dream Reunion". Sara and Brian just had their first really awful fight, and they're about to have their first make-up sex… It’s almost two o’clock, and the house is empty. The girls and Chris will be at the Homecoming game for at least another hour, and Joseph and Mary are both at work. We have the whole place to ourselves. I think Brian’s just realized exactly the same thing; he looks over to me, and then, suddenly we’re in each other’s arms. Our lips meet and a moment later –… Read more »
And? AND?? James you big tease!! Congratulations on having another book published. You're on a roll, my friend. Thanks for cranking the heat on The Flames!!
Very hot!
Oh – no link for that book yet (it won't be out until next month), but here's a link to my Amazon author page…http://viewAuthor.at/JJDibenedetto
Ditto here: No link yet, but the story releases THIS Friday. Yes, as in BLACK FRIDAY! An American Holiday (Turkey, Cranberry Sauce & Prozac) Blurb: Ahh, Thanksgiving…complete with the ghosts of holidays past. Those being humiliating memories of last year’s revelry gone wild: the jail cell, tattoo, and rose left on Kristi’s pillow by someone she can’t remember. Toss in two brothers who, while loving, had needled her with vivid imagery on what might have happened during that fateful rendezvous at the local HoJo’s. I mean seriously, what’s a girl to do? She’d run like hell from Harpers Ferry back… Read more »
Love this post!! Your writing is always fresh, easy to read, and splits my sides. Thank you for letting us know another release of yours is on the way. Congratulations – I can't wait.
Ooh, jealous of a friend has all sorts of fun written all over it!
Great excerpts! Here's mine from The Garnet Dagger Book 1 in my fantasy / paranormal romance: With her hand in mine, I moved her to me. Hungrily, my lips sought hers. I yearned to show her my love. I pressed her against me, my fingers played over the curve of her hips. As we kissed, her hands touched my face, and then tugged at my trousers. Heat pressed against me. Then her lips trailed kisses down my chest. Shyly, she gazed up at me. Fingers unfastened her cloak. The material floated down in a circle behind her. Mesmerized, I watched… Read more »
