Randi McLaughlin gave her heart to Jake Matthews only to be
left at the alter before taking their wedding vows. She continues to preside
over the McLaughlin’s Cosmetic Empire established by her father before his
death. While trying to swallow her heartache, she’s remembering the many times
Jake held her in his arms and made passionate love to her, but he is no longer
in the picture. Will Randi find happiness again once Jake walks back into her
life? How is she going to feel about him after finding that he now owns her
company?

Do
the intense and detailed scenes in books bring more enjoyment to a reader?
When
writing a story, I form a mental picture of a love scene. The more erotic, the
better. I want to transfer my mental picture to the readers in words. If scenes
don’t come clear enough in my head and I continue with the love scene, I’m
unsure if I’m leaving my readers hanging wondering what’s going on.
Sometimes
it takes me a day or two to get the right image and make sure the description of
a love scene isn’t vague. That’s what it’s all about when you write. Giving
enjoyment to the reader and taking them along for the journey whether it’s in
the bedroom, or an office setting.
I
like to think my readers feel something when I put emotions into a heated
argument between my characters, or an erotic bedroom scene. This is my whole
purpose in entertaining even though it’s only for a short while until they
finish the book.
In
the back of my mind, I’m hoping they enjoy the first read so much, they’ll
glance at it the second time. That’s when you know you’ve succeeded as a
writer. The five little words I couldn’t
put it down is music to an author’s ears.
Is
this how you feel as a writer in conveying such realistic scenes that the
reader can’t put the book down? And here’s
a question for the readers out there that are reading this blog. Do you feel a
writer goes into enough detail in love scenes and other scenes in the story to
give you an emotional impact that remains with you long after finishing the
book?

I think most writers go into enough detail in the love scenes, but they tend to use the same words over and over. I guess there are only so many ways to say "cock" without going into purple prose territory. LOL
Great post as usual, Mary Suzanne.
That is so true, Lizzie. It's a little hard to keep a love scene interesting and make sure you're not repeating the same words over and over.
I try to give a fresh perspective in the bedroom scenes and hope the reader finds enjoyment.
Great question- I think that when an author does make me feel like I am there, in the story, then enough detail has been used regardless of how many words they've written. Great blog!
Thanks, Kissa.
I love to have my reader connect with the story in some way. Maybe this is why I go into some detail.
Thanks for commenting.
