Sex, Sex and more Sex
Yes, there’s sex in my books. Some of the books have more than others. Some have sex that’s more erotic than others. I write romance. And, frankly, I think there’s nothing wrong with sex. It’s a part of nature. It’s human. It’s a way to express how you feel for someone. Or a way to show them that you want to take care of them.
I know some people skip sex scenes and some of them love intimate scenes. Both of those reactions are absolutely fine and correct because they are personal choices.
My leopard books are particularly wild and erotic. They have to be. I do extensive research on leopards and the characters, who shift into leopards, would need to possess some of those traits. They are passionate. And they are animalistic in the way they behave. It makes sense for the sex scenes in these to be more erotic and intense.
My Sea Haven books, the Drake Sisters and the Sisters of the Heart also have sex in them. And yes it is also passionate. But, it’s not raw, wild sex in the same sense as the leopard books are.
Sex has to make sense according to the character. Who they are, what they believe, what they feel, their life-filters, their situation. I don’t put in sex just for the sake of having sex in my books. It is meaningful. It adds to the overall story of the characters. It’s there for a reason; to be part of a beautiful story of love.
