I should try that some time ... just take the first kiss or first sex scene out of context and compare them. It would be fascinating. Actually, my first thought when reading number 5 was that it was JAK! LOL. That was an excellent span of examples and I enjoyed reading it. Great exercise, Michelle.

Franny, you might enjoy it too. Her h/h have psychic abilities.

I love that book. And the sexual tension throughout is amazing. Cynthia, Example number 2 is one of the books I’ve read at least twice (just following on from your blog the other day :smile: ).

That's the beauty of it all, I suppose, its all in the eye of the beholder :smile:. I hear you on the pressure to make each scene different, and that is soooo hard to do. I'm impressed with 8 books. Well done. LOL, Franny, well, how beautiful your eyes are blah, blah doesn’t do it for me, but maybe it rings someone else’s bells.

Love seeing examples of different genre nookie! I am a big fan of #4. The teeth nibbline on the lower lip...mmm...mm. I've never had that done to me. I've got to get my hubby reading romance novels! I'm a newby in the professional field of romance writing. I've been a creative writer all of my life, but have only recently gone pro! (not like a hooker or anything!) I write paranormal romance, with my characters being psychic and having unusual abilities, like the mutant X characters sort of. Trying to create different passionate scenes for each novel (8 under my belt) is hard to do. They have to be different every time in my book! Thanks for giving me a brief view of completely different writing. Oh, and eyes as green and the Carribean sea is a no-no hunh? Thanks Franny Armstrong Wow.

I looked at them in horror when I had them typed out, then calmed down and started seeing the bigger picture of the excerpt, so to speak. I would not like to do this to my own work, which means of course that I'll have to . I'm sure my scenes will be the better for me taking the pain :evil:. Oh so true, LOL.
