Most of my posts in this blog series contained exciting
excerpts. And no wonder…we’re talking about disasters and crimes, but these
books are romantic-suspense. So, for the readers who enjoy the romance, this
post is just for you.
Here is a special romantic teaser from SEISMIC CRIMES:
He stepped into the shower and stood a breath away from her
body. “I wanted to thank you.” She swallowed. The bar of soap forgotten between her hands.
“You already did. Outside the police department.”
His eyes bore into her. “Not like this.” He dipped his head
and took her lips. His touch electrified her, creating a whirlpool in the pit
of her stomach. She parted her lips for him, and he immediately filled the
space to explore her mouth.
The first time they kissed, Beth had tasted the danger
inside Donovan. It was toxic and delicious. She was able to shackle her desires
then, but he persuaded her to unleash them. She sank into his passion, faster
than quicksand. She had almost regretted the act and thought it had poisoned
her judgment, putting her in greater risk. Now that she knew he was good, and
after what they had been through together, she could no longer deny her clawing
needs.
Donovan eased back. She looked at him, hungry and aching.
He took the bar of soap from her and slicked his hands with suds. With a soft
touch, he ran his hands over the healing gash on her chest. The contact both
stung and aroused her. She closed her eyes as his hands left a sheet of bubbles
up her neck, down her arms, and across her abdomen.

*Screeeech* Sorry to put the brakes on this steamy (and I
mean that) scene. If you want more, you’ll have to get Seismic Crimes. *wink*

Hi Chrys ... great enticing romantic read .. as it's the afternoon - I'll leave it just there .. but I've noted that scenes of romance and lust appear in your Disaster Crime Series ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteYes, there are quite a few scenes of romance and lust in the Disaster Crimes Series. ;)
DeleteNothing wrong with some romance in any book type, as it is true to life. Sure set the scene for more to come too.
ReplyDeleteNope, nothing wrong with romance in any book. :)
DeleteSteamy scene! HA-HA Exactly!
ReplyDeleteNice job on the 'steamy' description.
This is one of the things I have a hard time trying to describe in writing; romantic moments.
Sure, I'm a romantic person, but writing abut it, somehow eludes me.
A lot of people struggle with romantic scenes. Some say it's the hardest thing to write.
DeleteWhere would the world be without a bit of roamnce likewise books I say.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Romance is always a good thing. :)
DeleteWell, posting early on the hop, I've turned two readers on to your series. Here's hoping that will turn into sales.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Crystal! :D
DeleteThank goodness this is not one of the top blogs visited by children. That was quite a steamy scene and loved how you added in that injury without losing any of the sexy sexy going ons in the excerpt. ;)
ReplyDeleteChildren don't visit my blog. And if they did, this post is a rare one. At least intimate parts weren't mentioned. ;)
DeleteI recognize this scene. :) Just finished reading Seismic Crimes. Review to come soon.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
DeleteNothing wrong with romance.
ReplyDeleteNothing at all. ;)
DeleteMy computer window is steaming up :). But I am not big on reading romance, but I enjoyed your writings.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sage. :)
DeleteOh yeah! That was sizzling! :)
ReplyDelete*wink*
DeleteIs it bad that I read "sheet of bubbles" and all I could imagine was just ridiculous amounts of bubble-bath suds?
ReplyDeleteMy way with words so it's not boring. I can see how you imagined that. lol
DeleteI didn't think I was much of a romance person, but since blogging, romantic suspense has become one of my favorite genres. Seems a little bit of something extra with my murder and mystery adds a bit of spice.
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
Romantic-suspense does have a little of everything. :)
Deletei really enjoyed the romance in Seismic Crimes. It was a nice counterbalance to the suspense and conflict. Nicely done, Chrys!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa! :)
DeleteFirst thought that comes to mind after reading your excerpt: W O W. Romance is a wonderful thing! Rock on, Chrys.
ReplyDeleteRomance sure is a wonderful thing. ;)
DeleteI'm not a big fan of romance in books, but I have so many friends who write romance that I'm developing an appreciation. All are not created equal, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteThe fact you can appreciate it is nice. :)
