I don't like forced sex scenes between the H/h. It's meant to happen, fine. If it doesn't, and all they do is kiss, that's cool too. I'm more interested in the plot anyway. Sex scenes don't always advance the story.Silmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02417752249085252410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8664187.post-1110594918081764952005-03-11T21:35:00.000-05:002005-03-11T21:35:00.000-05:00Thanks tons for the Sara Donati links.

I should be hanging onto each word, phrase, description and action, feel the excitement and the sense of vulnerablity, or freedom or whatever. <I>Emotion. Emotion. Emotion.</I> Notice I didn't say 'love', it doesn't have to be that *specific* emotion. Even if the plot isn't pushed forward, something about character should be revealed or changed. <BR/><BR/>I have 3 of Kinsale's books in my TBR pile. I'm looking forward to reading them one day.vanessa jayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11059178422559443067noreply@blogger.com
