I want the romance the emotional involvement between people. The angst and connection made between people as they work them selves through a relationship. I read the erotic romance fiction because the stories are just that stories. Imagination that creates fictional relationships that lend a story and emotional connection to the characters as they work through their ups and downs to a HEA ending that leaves me satisfy me happy with a troy well done.

Thank you for the great topic in the post, and and for the contest.

Dee S Knight and Anne Krist said...: I've read porn and I know there is a difference. The sex in erotic romance focuses on that magic word: romance. There are emotions at play and feelings between the participants. Anyone who mixes up the two doesn't understand the romance genre, maybe.; July 31, 2011 at 6:45 PM
ami_shaw said...: Porn lacks intimacy. Erotic Romance exhibits the growth of a relationship. Plain and simple love drives a romance whereas porn displays meaningless sex.; July 31, 2011 at 8:28 PM

Congratulations!!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by on the SCP-Where in the World am I?

I loved the answers I received.

Yes, Bozo was from my hometown AND graduated from my high school. His name was Bob Bell. Mr. Bell received an Emmy for playing Bozo in 1970 and was inducted in the Clown Hall of Fame a year before he passed away.

December 30, 1936-February 1937 The Union staged a strike in the Fisher plant.

Every year in August, people from all over the world flock to downtown for the Crim Festival of Races.

And all of these lovely event occurred in my hometown of Flint, Michigan. Just Michigan was acceptable as well. :-)

Using Randon.org I chose a winner from the correct responses. Congratulations Mel, you should have an email from me in your inbox.

The Pick-Up Wife

Leo Shepard has few regrets, but leaving his wife Symmone to pursue his career was a catastrophic mistake. Now that he’s achieved his every dream and is about to make partner at Greene and Banks Architects, he lacks one thing, a wife. But Leo doesn’t want just any wife, he wants the woman he left behind.

From the moment she laid eyes on Leo, Symmone knew she would have her happily ever after. The last thing she expected was a divorce and a broken heart. Devastated by the end of her marriage, she has no choice but to quit school and pick up the pieces of her life.

Working two jobs to support herself and her children, Symmone has little room in her life for romance and even less for her pulsating attraction to her ex-husband. When Leo strolls into the cafe where she works, bent on reconciliation, the chemistry between them is more powerful than ever. Yet she won't give in to his soft words and expensive gifts. More than just her heart is at stake, her children are, as well.

Blurb/Excerpt

Five days, three rules, and one sizzling seduction.

Delia has just three rules for dating. First, a man should never assume he’s the only one. Second, he must stick to his scheduled day and time. Third—and most important—no sex. Enforcing the rules has never been a problem until she meets the hottie from the pool.

Jace has only five days to make every moment count. The more time he spends with Delia, the more he realizes she may be The One. With the clock ticking, he realizes there is only one course of action left to take if he wants Delia’s heart. Can he convince Delia that rules are meant to be broken?

Blurb:

Haunted by nightmares, Sheridan Sinclair just wants to get through one night without reliving the terrible accident that led to her miscarriage. And she longs for the arms of the man who betrayed her. Matthew Sinclair has always loved his wife, but when she refuses to speak to him after her accident, he's left to wonder what went wrong. When a stolen kiss ignites their forgotten passion, he'll use their love as a means to get her home and in his bed again. Will a husband’s plan of seduction be enough to heal a wife’s broken heart?
