As I’ve mentioned before, I wasn’t a big reader until a few years ago, and I certainly hadn’t ever read a romance novel. But when I did start reading, I asked around to see what other people were reading and one of those people was my mother-in-law (MIL). Now, MIL loves romances novels with a passion (Ha! Get it, ‘passion’?) and she can read through a 300 pager in a day, so it wasn’t a big surprise when she handed a whole pile of them. It was, however, a surprise when I began to read them!
I will admit here that I was a bit naïve when it came to exactly what was in those books and the first one I read was a bit of a shock for me. I’m certain I was blushing just reading it and possibly blushing for days after that just thinking about it. But the first one I picked up happen to be the first in a series and the story line was actually very interesting so I went ahead and read the rest of the ones the author had out and made a note to keep track of her new releases.Flash forward a few years to a blistering cold winter’s day with no heat in the house, due to a power outage, and a writer friend mentioning the book she was reading didn’t have any kissing or even heavy flirting by page 100. Compelled to find a good kissing scene for her I went to my closet and pulled a book out of what I affectionately call my Smutty Stack. This book was also from MIL and I’d tried to read it before, but the first time I picked it up I could barely get through the first thirty pages without the sex being so graphic that I had to put the book down and walk away…far away. The book was so dirty that if it’d been made into a movie it would be so X rated even the actors would be embarrassed to watch it.
But that’s what I was looking for, right? A good kissing scene. Ok, maybe not that kind of kissing scene, but it was the one that stuck out in my mind…for obvious reasons. Anyway, I wrapped myself in a several blankets, turned to the approximate page of the scene and began to read, and read, and read. And a few hours later I was no longer under the blankets and I’d finished the book. Not only did I read the book the whole way through, I went back to my Smutty Stack to see if I had the next one in the series.Luckily…I do!
I guess sometimes you just need a little sex to keep you warm. (Take that however you like.)Oh! And here's a little mood music for you...
I did finally get a kiss out of that book. On page 238. That's what I get for reading young adult fiction! But seriously, it was a good story after all. And now that I'm done, I'm ready for a bit of smutty porn reading. What was the name of that series again? My power isn't out, but I'm never opposed to keeping warm at night...if you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteBAHAHAHAHA!! Just between us (and your kazillion readers...they're not MINE so I can say this with no worries, right? lol). I love porn and was cracking up at this post (you're so cute, lol)! I am not a fan of "romance" novels but if you think that it's something I should "try" I'm willing to pick up...um...THAT book that you mentioned above whatever it is. I most definitely need something with action; as a matter of fact, I think I'll start on page 238. :)
