Gossip says he is hot between the
sheets. Has Mr. Insatiable finally met his match?
Enya’s been curious about Kit’s bedroom exploits ever since his
ex-girlfriend spilled the beans about his…skill. But he’s not for her. Enya
can’t provide what he wants from life, especially not between the sheets.
After Enya admits she’s not good at sex, Kit persuades her to trust in
him. Together, they can create fireworks in the bedroom. A few drinks followed
by a discussion about kinky sex, and Enya succumbs to his charm.
Thrilled he’s been proven correct, Kit can’t keep his hands off Enya,
and she’s unable, and unwilling, to resist him. But is it just great sex…or
something more?

Love
is all you need…
Mr.
Insatiable by Serenity Woods
Hi there, and thank you so much for having me
on your blog today.
What’s the best part of a romance novel?
Sometimes I think it’s the first kiss. I love
kisses and cram lots of them in my novels, but there’s always something special
about the first one. Perhaps it’s because there’s been all the anticipation
leading up to it, and the moment where the hero and heroine’s lips first touch
is so magical, with the promise of everything to come (pardon the pun.)
At other times I think it’s the first time they
have sex. Now I say it, it seems a bit voyeuristic, but yet again that moment
when they first touch, when they explore each other and bring each other
pleasure—well, that takes a lot of beating. (Especially if you’re Christian
Grey!)
But as wonderful as these scenes are, I think
the ultimate romantic event is the moment where the heroine realizes she’s in
love. As readers, we know there’s only one way for the novel to end, or it
wouldn’t be a romance. But even though we’re assured of a happy ending, I
always read that moment where the heroine thinks oops! I’ve gone too far on the edge of my seat. How will she come
to terms with the fact that even though being in love is inconvenient and
doesn’t fit in with her plans, there’s nothing she can do about it? And how
will the hero react when he realizes he feels the same way? I love this moment,
and so here’s a snippet from my new contemporary romance, Mr. Insatiable, from Lyrical Press, that captures that special
time.
Something changed between them after that. The
following morning, Charlie took them to the Great Wall and they spent several
hours following the ancient landmark across the Chinese countryside, talking
and laughing, but all the time, Enya was conscious of her feelings for Kit
morphing into something else.
After her mind blowing orgasm, he’d held her
for ages, stroking her hair and calming her until her sobs ceased. He seemed to
understand without her having to say anything just what an overwhelming
experience it had been. In only a few simple lovemaking sessions, he’d
completely rewritten her understanding of sex and pleasure, and he’d shown her
she wasn’t faulty--in fact there was absolutely nothing wrong with her at all.
Obviously, it was a matter of trust, and of feeling comfortable enough
with someone to let go.
But was that all it was? Enya had lain there in
the dark, listening to him breathe, feeling his hand brushing her skin, and
told herself that all she had to do now was find herself a man like Kit and
everything would be fine... But the problem was, she wasn’t sure there was another
man out there like Kit. Or, more specifically, another man who could make her feel
the same way Kit did.
Because she loved him.
It wasn’t surprising. She knew she’d probably
loved him all along, and this was the first time she was admitting it to
herself. But she couldn’t ignore it any longer. The feelings she had for him
weren’t familial, and they weren’t those that a friend had for another—even very
close--friend. She loved him the way a woman loves a man, with all her heart,
and every time she worshipped him with her body, she fell that bit further in
love with him.
Fuck!
It was so inconvenient. She’d closed her eyes
and bit her lip, trying to stop the curse exploding from her lips. How had she
been so stupid? How had she ever thought she’d be able to sleep with her best
friend and not fall in love with him? But then before, she hadn’t understood
how wonderful he was. She’d known him as a brother figure, but she hadn’t been the
subject of his full attention. He hadn’t let her see Lover Kit, Kinky Kit,
passionate and sexy and ever-so-slightly disgusting in a wonderful way that
made her heart thump to think about.
Before him, sex had been sober and polite and slightly
awkward, ordinary and vanilla, ‘let’s get it over with so I can watch the rugby
at eight,’ kind of sex.
Sex with Kit was not vanilla. It was
‘let’s have sex now because I’ve only got a couple of hours and I want to do it
as many times as we can,’ kind of sex. It was ‘I haven’t a clue what color the
curtains are in this room because all I can see is you,’ kind of sex. It was overwhelming
and intense and she wanted to cry.
Because even though she now knew she was in
love with him, it didn’t make any difference.

All of the above ;) I would say the first tender moment with the love interests begin to realize it's more than just a fling. That there are feelings and that those feelings are worth it.
ReplyDeleteFor me, it's getting to experience falling in love vicariously. I also love when they finally get together after lots of angst.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the falling in love - such bliss and a high!
ReplyDeleteThanks,

I love all of the above but if I had to choose one I'd pick the falling in love part! It is always fun to see that in action with a great set of characters! This looks steamy! Can't wait to read it. Thanks for the chance to win!

Loved the excerpt, so much emotion. What I like about romance...The intimacy and tension build-up, the passion, over coming the obstacles, the steamy sex, and of course the HEA.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us and for the giveaway.
