Writer with Sizzle: Lynne Roberts

Please welcome Lynne Roberts! Lynne is giving away a free eBook copy of her sizzling book, First Date,  to one lucky commenter so be sure to give her some love.


Lia: What physical aspect does your heroine love most about your hero? Details, please!

Lynne: Oh, this is so tame but Jill would absolutely say she loves Bret’s slow, sexy smile. The rest of the package isn’t half bad though.

Lia: There is nothing sexier than a slow, sexy smile. What is the hottest scene you ever wrote?

Lynne: The hottest scene I’ve ever written is in the as of yet unnamed story of Caleb and Lily. I really can’t say much about it right now except it involves chocolate body paint, a shower head and a lot of steam.

Lia: Ooh, looking forward to that one! Where is the wildest place your characters have had sexual relations?

Lynne: A barn, stairway, public bathroom and a pond in the middle of the forest... You know, until my current work in progress, my characters haven’t had sex in a bed, or in a house for that matter. LOL. The wildest? Apart from the middle of the forest? ; ) I’d have to say the stairway.

Here’s an excerpt from First Date:

A brief flare of sanity intruded in her lust-clouded brain. Even with the storm, the barn wasn’t isolated. A maintenance man regularly checked on the place, or another realtor might even show the property.

Jill pulled away then almost lost her train of thought when Bret slid his finger under the white lace, stroking the rise of her breast above her nipple.

A surge of liquid further dampened her panties, and her legs tightened around his thighs.

She gasped. “Someone could come.”

“I sure as hell hope so,” Bret murmured.

Lia: Wow, I'm always amazed at how some writers can fit so much heat in so few words. Hot stuff! Has anything in your real life ever inspired a scene for your book?

Lynne: Sigh, I can’t believe I’m admitting this but here goes.

In my upcoming book, also from The Wilder Rose Press, the heroine is quite taken with the way the hero walks across a room.

Well, one day, I was at a red light and this man walked across the street. The way he moved was like poetry in motion. Yes, I know that’s cliché but it’s also true! He had this predatory roll of the hips that was both sexy and thrilling to watch. And then I realized he was walking to the high school, and no, he definitely wasn’t a teacher.

LOL. I think I actually closed my eyes. I felt like such a dirty old woman but it helped inspire my cougar story, AFTER HOURS.

Lia: Love it! Great story! Where can we find your sizzling books?

Lynne: You can find my books at The Wilder Rose Press http://thewildrosepress.com/

You can find me at http://lynneroberts.net/

Writer with Sizzle: Amber Skyze

Please welcome Amber Skyze! Amber is giving away a free eBook copy of her latest release, Talk Dirty to Topaz, to one lucky commenter, so be sure to give her some love.

Lia: What is your favorite sexual position to write about?

Amber: Hmmm, any sexual position is my favorite. :-)Seriously, I enjoy writing the sex scenes. Seven years ago I couldn’t say that. I was this shy, timid woman afraid of anything new. Let’s just say I had an awakening in my early thirties. Sometimes it’s difficult to find something new to write, but that’s the joy of all the sex books out there. They’re full of wonderful ideas.

Lia: Thank goodness for awakenings. :-) Have you ever lived out any of your scenes?

Amber: Well don’t you have to live out the sex scenes to make sure they’re possible? ;-)

Lia: LOL! The hardships of research, right? Have your characters ever been caught having sex in public? How did that go?

Amber: In Body Shots, a new release coming in December from Ellora’s Cave, the heroine and hero get caught having sex on a pool table in a bar. I can’t tell you anymore because this book has suspense and I’d give away too many secrets.

Lia: Ooh, I like the sound of it already! What is your favorite thing about being a romance writer?

Amber: My favorite thing about being a romance writer is being able to create characters in my own fantasy worlds. They can live out my dreams through my words. And of course they always have a happily-ever-after!

Lia: Where can readers find your sizzling books, Amber?

Amber: Readers can find my books at:
