Some Like It Hot: Writing Sex and Romance

by Beth Yarnall

Wonderful tool! If you're looking for a concise and practical reference on how to achieve deep point of view, then you'll love Beth Yarnall's easy how-to guide. Romance is everywhere even in blockbuster movies like Terminator and Star Wars. Strong romantic plots drove TV shows like Castle, Moonlighting, and Cheers to top ratings. It was the sexual tension that viewers tuned in each week to find out if this would be the episode they finally acted on their attraction or not. Twitter blew up when Sheldon and Amy finally kissed on The Big Bang Theory, then blew up all over again when they consummated their relationship. Writing romance and sex can be tricky. You’re not writing a how-to manual after all. In this book, you’ll learn how to create sexual tension, how to write sex scenes, and how to plot a romance that will have readers staying up until the wee hours to finish and closing your novel on a happy sigh. "I picked up this little gem and can't wait to start revising and editing based on all the great advice I picked up from this book. After the first read-through it is dog-eared and marked up. I know I will be referring to it again and again. Wonderful Tool!!!!" ~ Pamela, Amazon "This book offered a lot of pieces from stories to give the writer an idea of how a sex scene should be written. The book was easy to understand and read. It offers a few good points to keep in the back of the mind while writing." ~ Misty, Amazon

Reviews

[Sue Lilley · Rating 3 out of 5]

Easy to read but a bit more basic than I was expecting. Lots of “filler” with examples from the author’s own books. I was hoping to be inspired but some of it was cringeworthy. Maybe if that’s the right way to do it, I’m not in the zone. But there were some useful tips. It just took too long to get to them.

[A.M. Bochnak · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great framework outlined in this little book. A few good examples from different authors and a good place to start if you're just starting out. Not a lot of depth if you're a more seasoned authored looking to dig deeper into the craft.
