Nowhere on the Map
Excerpt from Nowhere on the Map...
We need to warm up this spring...how about a little steamy read? This is an exchange between Jon Banks and Maggie Lewis in the novel Nowhere on the Map.
***************************************************
“No, I am merely stating men could learn something from us. You see, men, are visually seduced – magazines, strip bars, porn videos. While conversely women are intellectually seduced—we use our imagination as well as the other senses.”
Maggie folded her arms, satisfied she had successfully won the social debate. Jon walked closer the friendly fight seemed to have turned into a dangerous challenge. Her mind cautioned her, but she ignored the flashing warning lights. He reached for her; he then lowered his face to her hair and inhaled deeply; she felt the pull in her very soul.
Huskily he inquired, “Magpie, had I not seduced your senses sufficiently last night? Perhaps you stopped me too soon.”
It was as though her body had finally awakened from a dreamless slumber. She had never felt like this with a man before. No wonder Lana had claimed him as her own sex toy; she didn’t agree with the woman’s morals but couldn’t deny that she knew her stuff. She was not as practiced as her city counterpart was and never was comfortable being bold. Nevertheless, she felt sexy and powerful in spite of the fact that the same emotion overwhelmed her. Closing her eyes, she focused on the sensation of his lips, his voice in her hair, and the feel of his muscular arms around her. Her stomach erupted in butterflies; she felt a slow burn begin in her core as her body eagerly responded. With a supreme effort, Maggie stepped back, her eyes smoldered with desire as she directed him to the nearby stool.
“Let me teach you what a girl knows about senses and seduction!”

What attracts you to a book?
Do you look at the back flap for the tease? Or do you simply follow certain writers? Perhaps you are a rebel and read the last few pages to see how it ends?
