Guess grass is really always greener on the other side.

And, oh, man. This is what I need in my current book. (Looks for way to add mandatory sex — demon binding sounds kind of sexy and icky, at the same time.)

Gah! I should start writing historicals.

Mandatory sex is hot sex! Anything else is cheap, shallow and gratuitious.

The hard part is introducing the mandate if it’s not already present.

Good luck.

Hmm, maybe that’s my problem right there!!! (Though I can’t think of a reason why contemporary characters would get roped into mandatory sex that wouldn’t turn the reader off from page 1. Seems like a device that works much better in historicals.)

I just recently read and enjoyed a paranormal romance (and I usually don’t read romances). The hero and heroine (and this takes place in the 1700s) can shapeshift into dragons.

Wait for it…

But afterwards, when they come back down to Earth (literally), they’re nekkid. Stripped bare, because of the shapeshift.

That made for some very interesting and hot scenes (esp. one in the last 1/3 of the book…nice!).

So my suggestion is to have the hero and heroine in DELICIOUS be shapeshifers, so then nobody can accuse you of deus ex machina or manipulating the plot line just to get them in bed.

Meh. Don’t mind me. I’ve just had lunch, and I actually feel more awake now than earlier this morning when I first got into work, so disregard my weird meanderings.
