Six months after concert pianist Aslyn Jericho survives an
attack at
the hands of an obsessed fan, she is still trying to resume
a normal
life, despite the paralyzing fears that have stolen her
ability to play
and perform. Enter her gorgeous and mysterious neighbor with
news that
threatens to send her spiraling back into her nightmares.
Her stalker
has returned. And he wants Aslyn.
Months after security specialist Chayot Gray’s darkest
secret was
exposed to the world, he’s struggling to cope with the
fallout. Shame
and guilt threaten to consume him, and he longs for the
anonymous, numb
existence he’s known for two decades. Then he discovers a
masked figure
lurking outside his neighbor’s home. The pain-filled shadows
darkening
Aslyn’s eyes call to him, and her loveliness stirs a desire
he didn’t
know existed. Now Chay must conquer his inner-demons in
order to save
her from a madman determined to finish the job he started…
To date, I've stayed away from those books - not because I'm a prude, but because the luck I've had with them haven't been good. The love scenes in the books I've picked have been written so primally, that instead of having me get into the book more, they make me break out in laughter instead!! The description in itself, along with the dialogue is so dumb, it sounds like a 2-year-old wrote it!! Currently, I am reading a book named Trust: A New Beginning by Cristianne Serruya. I'm only partially through it, and have come across a pretty smokin' hot sex scene, if I may say so myself, and I'm pretty picky!! So here's a book for you to look through, if you would care to, since you asked. I'll have to give yours a try as well. (Peggy Roberson 9:56am August 5, 2014)
Oh no, Peggy! I'm torn between feeling bad and laughing at your description. Okay...I'm laughing. I admit it. LOL!! There are some really good books out there with emotional, sexy, and still primal love scenes. Those were just five of some truly fabulous books I've read. Stick with me. I'll hook you up. :-) But, I'm definitely adding Trust: A New Beginning to my list. I haven't heard of it before, and I'm always on the look out for new books and new-to-me authors. So thank you for both stopping in AND adding to my TBR pile! :-) (Naima Simone 10:34am August 5, 2014)
Shoot....you just made me spend a fortune. (Incy Black 10:46am August 5, 2014)
LOL!! Incy, my bad! But you'll be thanking me in the end! Hee- hee! Now your check book...hmm...not so much. LOL!! (Naima Simone 10:55am August 5, 2014)
Wonderful post Naima! and you so hit the nail on the head in your writing. I love love your sex scenes...all emotional and oh gosh so damn sexy! I am the same...my books need to have that hotness going on. LOL. and your list! I read the Linda Howard and Tessa Bailey and damn you are right! Scorching. I am off to get the rest of book on this list now. :) (Stacy Reid 11:38am August 5, 2014)
Oh by far these are some of my FAVORITE love scenes in books!!! I remember when Nora Roberts wrote some of my faves, but with age I've gotten spicier!!! Lol!!! So when chomping on Crunch 'n Munch (y'know because I don't smoke) I love the books if Thea Harrison too!!! Oh man! Hers leave my ears smoking! And looking at my husband like "you could try this right?!?!" (Nefertari Yancie 11:43am August 5, 2014)
Hi, Stacy!! And your book, The Duke's Shotgun Wedding, does have all that hotness and wonderful emotion going on! I can't wait to get my greedy little paws on The Irresistible Miss Peppiwell!!
Another Son of Morning reader! Yes! *Jersey fist pump* Isn't that scene one of the best EVAH?? And Tessa Bailey...she makes me fan myself even as I'm laughing or tearing up. Once you check out the other books, let me know what you think! :-) Thank you for coming through, Stacy!! *hip bump* (Naima Simone 11:45am August 5, 2014)
ROTFL!! Thank God I wasn't swallowing coffee at that moment, it could've been reeeaaally messy!! Nefertari, you're so right!! Oh heck yeah! Thea Harrison is awe-SOOOME!!! And--I have to confess--has left me shooting my own hubby some side-eye... Snicker! Thea Harrison has humor, heat, emotion, depth...she's amazing! Thanks for coming by and adding to the convo! Fabulous addition to the discussion!
Hiiiiii, Theaaaaaaa... *pinky crinkle* (Naima Simone 11:47am August 5, 2014)
Yes, yes, and yes!! I totally agree on the love scene requirements of a book. I admit, when I read a book's blurb by a new author and am intrigued, I will skim the reviews first before buying to make sure they talk about the heat level. Sigh...Son of the Morning. LOVE, love, love! Oh, and I'm with Incy, you just demolished my book purchasing budget! LOL Must buy the rest of the those. :) (Jessica Lee 11:52am August 5, 2014)
Hi, Jessica! ANOTHER Son of the Morning reader! Whoo-hoo!! :-) It was fierce, wasn't it? Unique in that it was almost primal and tender at the same time. Luuuuuuv it. As a fan of your books, Jessica, I know you agree on the love scene requirements. Hee-hee! And again, you're welcome! *evil cackle* Your credit card might have a hangover but you'll love me in the morning! LOL!! Thank you so much for coming over! (Naima Simone 1:17pm August 5, 2014)
Hmmm.....that would beeee ANYTHING! But I am a huge fan of Lorelei James, Suzanne Brockmann, Jennifer Ashley, Maya Banks, Laurell K. Hamilton, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Linda Howard and many more! (Jan Douglas 9:22pm August 5, 2014)
Hi, Jan!! Oh I agree with ALL of your picks! The one that flashes right into my head is Maya Banks' Fever with Jace and Bethany. Sigh. Oh how he loved her. And Maya Banks wrote all that dominance, passion and possessiveness he felt for her in each and every love scene. If my husband was that forceful with me, I would be the star of the next Snapped episode, but dang! I was such a believer in Fever. Loved it! Thanks for stopping by and adding to the convo! As well as the list of TBR books. Snicker. (Naima Simone 9:56pm August 5, 2014)
Tessa Bailey's Brett and Hayden in Asking For Trouble are definitely in my top 3. The scene where the answer to all his questions was his name? Crazy hot! Another one of my top 3? Naima - your Selig and Caitlin in Sweet Ultimatum! The car sex scene was so very hot! Take a bow for that!! My other one? Lara Adrian's Midnight Breed series is full of hot scenes. My favorite of them is the first one - Kiss of Midnight's Lucan and Gabrielle. Their first time together was a scorcher! (Marta Petrocelli 3:21pm August 6, 2014)
Scenes on the beach or by windswept cliffs like in Wuthering Heights. (Alyson Widen 3:59pm August 10, 2014)
