Calista Fox | Sex and the Action Hero/Heroine
July 9, 2009
I love writing suspense and sexy romance, so it’s only natural that I
combined my two passions in my July novel, Object of Desire (Red Sage
Publishing, trade paperback). What’s most difficult about writing steamy,
adventure-packed stories? Finding a break in the suspense action for
some sex action! In Object, Laurel
Blackwood and Devon Mallory are both trying to get their hands on a legendary
gem and they’re constantly being shot at—making it very difficult for
these two to hook up! Luckily, they’re highly passionate characters, with
massive sparkage between them. The secret to sex and the action hero/heroine is taking advantage of the natural
tension that’s created by the dangerous, life-threatening situations in which
the characters are immersed. They have to always be aware of their surroundings
and the perils inherent to their adrenaline-junkie lifestyles. They’re putting
themselves in grave danger when they make love, because it diverts their
attention—that ups the stakes and makes for even hotter chemistry! Plus, there’s
a sense of urgency because the bad guys can bust in at any time…. And yet, a
sexy action H/H wouldn’t skimp on satisfying his/her mate—no matter how dire the
consequences of the stolen moment. All of this leads to more intense feelings
between the two, which culminates in not just a sexually charged, action-packed
story, but an emotionally charged one as well! More about Object of
Desire and Calista Fox can be found on her website (www.calistafox.com) and
her blog (www.calistafox.blogspot.com). Leave a comment and you’ll be entered to win a “One Hell of an Island Adventure”
beach bag with cool beach items to celebrate the release of Object of Desire!

Action + passion...wouaw, sounds like something I'd really to read !! I love romantic suspense when the romance isn't overshadowed by too much action. (Joeelle Jappissont 4:17am July 9, 2009)
I understand your problem. I just finished a book where everyone is in danger but they wait a day or two to do anything so they can jazz up their romance. I kept thinking "How can you plan for tomorrow let alone the rest of you lives if you get killed by this maniac today?" (Karin Tillotson 7:43am July 9, 2009)
How can you even think about sex when your life is in danger? Guess I'd have to read the book to find out! (Margay Roberge 7:45am July 9, 2009)

Ooh sounds like a good read. Steamy! (Sarah Keery 7:58am July 9, 2009)
I like when the tension increases, for the words fly by, the pages flip fast until the reader has a breather and can't hardly wait for the next excitement. (Alyson Widen 9:14am July 9, 2009)

Sex and suspense a great combination. God luck with your book (Diane Sadler 8:11pm July 9, 2009)
Sounds like a good summer read. Now all I need is the time to do some reading. There is nothing like a challenge and a little bit of danger to put a little extra spark into a relationship. Sounds like you did a good job of including a lot oft\ that in this story. Good luck with the release. (Patricia Barraclough 9:28pm July 9, 2009)
Your book sounds great, I will be watching for it. (Sharla Long 10:30pm July 9, 2009)
Sounds like the type of book I am writing now. Never thought I would be writing a mystery/suspense/romance novel in my lifetime. I'll have to read Object to find out how you pull off the sex while the hero/heroine are running for their lives. (John Wayne Cargile 6:28am July 10, 2009)
