Carey, congratulations on your debut! I so agree with you on love scenes, and the dark and gritty 'sex' scenes too. I'm all about realism, and I feel cheated when I work so hard in a story as a reader, rooting for the hero and heroine to overcome all the obstacles and fall in love, only to have the bedroom door slam shut in my face. I want to experience that love scene as if I were the heroine. And I want to see how the hero treats the woman he's falling in love with. Good luck with your debut.
