I love the emotion. I love the tone and feel and overall htoness of an erotic story. As a reader I tend to liek plot with strong characterization. As a writert I tend to start with characters and the plot/conflict just comes from them naturally.

What I look for is the story. I like erotic romance AND mainstream romance for the same reasons. I look for believable characters who don’t speak like they are in junior high and story that doesn’t sound like my niece made it up. I’m easy to please and ticked off when I’m disappointed.

Cassandra! I love that you love humor in erotic romance. I write a lot of that and wonder how many people actually like it. A lot of people say they don’t want to laugh when they’re supposed to be getting turned on. But then I say to them, go read porn if you’re only wanting to be turned on.

Me likey the sex. But if there’s no plot, no tension, no conflict or obstacles to overcome, then what’s left? Yep. Bad Porn.

I also enjoy humor in erotic romance. Who said that sex should always be serious? I think funny, quirky, laugh-out-loud naughty sex is great.

Hell, throw your heroes and heroines into a giant bowl of whipped cream once and a while, and let them roll around in that! ROFL.

I love romance novels. . . especially romantic suspense (which amazingly is what I write. Teehee). And the hotter, the better. Sometimes I get a bit annoyed at the purple prose that litters some of the mainstream romances. I know, I know. . . but, do you really think people don’t know that “his turgid staff of passion” is really his penis???

That being said, I want to feel connected when I read a romance. I want to feel the passion, the angst, the torment, and the pleasure. . . a few sex scenes and no plot don’t do a thing for me. . .

Great post, Karen

I love the traditional sappy romances, but the flowery wording is ridiculous and makes me giggle, losing the magic of the story. That’s why I love erotic romances. I want to read real language, but I don’t want to lose that passionate overpowering emotion called love along the way.

When erotic romances are done well, I think they’re the best thing going.
