Smokin’ Hot Southern Sounds

by Kiersten Hallie Krum

There are a lot of hot things that can be found down south. Hot food. Hot men. Hot weather. And some smokin’ hot sounds.

I spent many years sneering at country music, home of the slide guitar and songs that praise the love of a good dog and a good truck and a not-so-good woman. But that stereotype is like any other–little bit of truth wrapped up in a whole lotta WTFery. Though I’m never going to like the twang of a slide guitar. That’s just not gonna happen.

My attitude t...

Real Men Say Y’all: Celebrating the Southern Accent

If you’re this close to his seersucker, congratulations!

By Alexa Day

I’ve spent my adult life in the American South. I was raised in the Deep South and think of myself as part of the New South. So while I’m excited to kick off a Southern theme week to celebrate this Friday’s print release of ElizabethShore’s HOT BAYOU NIGHTS, I’ve had a tough time trying to decide what aspect of Southern living I wanted to bring into your homes. What facetof the South is the hottest and the sexiest?

It’s the ac...

Fourth of July Romances

by Madeline Iva

Happy 4th of July! (A little early.)

I *do* like fourth of July — not so much for the fire works, but for that official bright start of summer. You can think of beer and blankets at the fireworks display, I think of front porches, small towns and bunting. Lots of bunting.

my other favorite things about 4th of July (aside from bunting) are:

You know you want it. Start your fourth of July party in your mouth. Click on photo to buy!

Oh Cum On! Are You Gonna Swallow That?!

By Elizabeth Shore

Quick – name the single most dreaded sex act according to women. A trip fantastic down the bowels of Sodom? Being asked to contort intoporn-style acrobatics? Pretending to love his rancid morning breath? Nope, not even close.According to some blogs and magazine articles I’ve read, along with an informal poll of my girlfriends, it’s swallowing.

Swallowing ranks rights up there with golden showers in the turn-off department. Not that it’s tough to understand why. Consuming a su...

Cooking Up Romance: Q&A With Elisabeth Lane

by Kiersten Hallie Krum

I was on The Twitter the other day–Surprise!–and stumbled across a convo between romance writers Jeffe Kennedy and Amy Jo Cousins and a new-to-me reviewer Elisabeth Lane. Being naturally nosy to occasionally stalkerish-lengths, I glommed in and checked out Ms. Lane’s review site. And man, am I glad I did.

Elisabeth Lane writes a unique romance novel review blog called Cooking Up Romancewhere she matches romance novels with recipes from her archives, cooks ‘em up, and des...

From Point A to Point O: Don’t We Want the Longest Distance?

Sure, we’ll go north. Eventually.

By Alexa Day

I’ve seen a little more porn than usual in the news this week, and while I don’t write porn myself, I often find that porn professionals offer interesting perspectives on my own work. For instance, reading about a California measure that would require the use of condoms in porn made me think about my position on my characters’ use of condoms in my own work. (That measure, if you’re curious, is on its way to the California Senate appropriations comm...
