Hi Jodi,
I like hot sex no matter what the genre as long as it is consistent with the rest of the story and doesn’t seem overdone or out of place. For me, the hotter the better!!!!

Just got English Arms and can’t wait to read it But also have Naughty Bits, What Happens in Vegas, and Dangerous Ties to read. I LOVE my TBR pile

I tend to read erotic romance more than any other, and love more explicit sex, but it has to have an amazing story to go with it. Any genre works for me, though I probably read less historical romances than any other.

HHey, Jodi! I, too, hope you’re having a great time on your vacation!
Thanks for taking the time out to blog for us!
As for hot sex in books, I don’t mind it (in fact, I enjoy it!), but in a
mainstream book, I would ‘expect’ only 2 or 3 explicit scenes with a lot of
built-up sexual tension. Not just sex for the sake of putting a sex scene in
the book.
Thanks again and I can’t wait to read the new book!

I hope your having fun and enjoying your vacation. Congrats on your new release also by the way. Sounds like an awesome book.
To answer your question, I like to read the steamy scenes in romance. If there are a lot of steamy scenes, it depends on the skills of the author as to if I skip some scenes or enjoy it enough to read it all the way through. And there are some authors like yourself who write with such talent that I never skip a sentence. Does it matter if its labeled erotic or not? Probably not. A romance book is going to have romance in it. Warning labels are nice but not a must in my opinion.

Yes, I definitely like steaminess in my books. It makes for even more exciting reading no matter the genre.

Hey Jodi!

Hope you are enjoying the vacation. I do like the hot steamy stuff when I am in the mood to read it. I believe if the storyline warrants, spice it up! The author however does not always need to use the “7 words you can’t say on TV” to bring the spice. For instance, if I am reading a romantic suspense I like it when the author builds the sexual tension between the characters for a few chapters and then “BAM” the bubble bursts, a nice little sexy scene and then on with the storyline.

I agree with Danette about the funny warning labels, Samhain Publishing has some of the most hysterical ones out there and they often do make me want to take a longer look.

Have a great day! Lisa

Hi Jodi,

If the hot stuff flows with the book I’m reading then I’m all for it.

I do love the warning labels on some of the romance books out there. I have to giggle at the label,but then I’m pulled to at least take a peek in the book.:)

Hugs,Danette

I’m burned out on historicals, but every once in a while I get sucked in by a good blurb and read one.

I don’t mind explicit stuff in any book, but if sex is the overwhelming topic/theme, I prefer it in a book that’s branded as Erotic. A case where sex has over taken the story in a mainstream novel is Laurell K. Hamilton’s later work. I loved the stories in her earlier work, but wished Anita Blake got more intimate with Jean Claude. Now it’s all sex with anybody and everybody to the detriment of the story.
