I'm good at predicting the future....<BR/><BR/>Dee,<BR/>Thanks for breaking it down for me. I think I understand it better now, but would like you to give me a few names you think fit your Romantica definition.<BR/><BR/>Mei,<BR/>Jed is a composite of the darkest of all women's desires. Ahem. And no, he wouldn't have squeezed lemon drops onto your eyelids. Ugh. Umm...did I read your mom think she needed exorcism done on her? =8-O<BR/><BR/>SQ,<BR/>Heehee, scepter of love. Now, how do you even read that with a straight face? Why do you think editors think euphemisms like that was okay?<BR/><BR/>Kate,<BR/>I love it--THE LURE OF EROTICA! I think you might have hit it on the nail for me.<BR/><BR/>As for Into Danger, I think the scene that readers always want to talk to me about is...tada...the pearls scene. Is that romantica (the lure of erotica) to you? Or merely hot?<BR/><BR/>To the wonderful readers who are so passionate about Jed...I'm working on the mission. I'm sure a few emails to Harlequin/Silhouette wouldn't hurt either, ladies. ;-)Gennitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05560547131612743465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12158466.post-1141386718421090352006-03-03T06:51:00.000-05:002006-03-03T06:51:00.000-05:00Maybe you sould be printing these posts and giving...Maybe you sould be printing these posts and giving them to your editor, Jenn?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12158466.post-1141386641773095802006-03-03T06:50:00.000-05:002006-03-03T06:50:00.000-05:00Re, our obession with all things Jed,isn't it abou...Re, our obession with all things Jed,<BR/>isn't it about time, then, that editors paid attention to what women want?

It's not like, Let's have sex -and a plot. It's more of a Here's-a-great-plot-and-let's make-it-steamy!<BR/><BR/>Jenn, I still remember when Into Danger was brand new on the shelves. I was flipping through it and came to the part after Marlena's stuff was gone through and everything, and now it's just her and Stash and all this pent up aggressive emotion. That was one of the sexiest love scenes I've ever read in a romantic suspense. Big thumbs up! But after you, I'd Shannon McKenna has got the whole romantica theme going on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12158466.post-1141340063224874592006-03-02T17:54:00.000-05:002006-03-02T17:54:00.000-05:00[Hmm, it didn't seem to post the first time so if ...[Hmm, it didn't seem to post the first time so if this is a duplication just delete it or skip it.]<BR/><BR/>Glad to hear you're eating some peanut butter. :o)<BR/><BR/>My definitions of erotica, romantica, and romance are as follows:<BR/><BR/>Erotica: sex, in all it's varieties for the sake of titillation. No real plot just sex. Not necessarily an HEA since it's hard to see where it starts and where it finishes. (That last statement was somewhat tongue-in-cheek because I haven't and won't read erotica. Definitely not my cuppa...)<BR/><BR/>Romantica: There is a plot but it's the catalyst for intense foreplay (for the reader) and intense consummation. It's not about the number of pages it takes to consumate, it's about the number of pages I'm saying, "Oh. My. Stars. They can't hold out any longer, can they?" And, there's definitely an HEA, oh, and monogamy.<BR/><BR/>Romance: it's all about the emotions and how the plot is driven by the emotions. It can be hot, sweet, sensual but the story is still about the H/H working through everything to reach their HEA.<BR/><BR/>These are simplistic definitions and they're my definitions, you know, how I separate them in my mind.<BR/><BR/>Now to Rick and Jed...Jed is a tasty morsel but we have yet to see him hunker down with his emotions involved. Rick, on the other hand, oh me. Emotion oozes out of him when he's with Nikki.
