Callie Hutton’s top five songs to write a sex scene…
Most romance writers include one or more sex scenes in their books. We certainly don’t want a biology lesson, or one of those insert tab A into slot B, do we? Some authors drink a glass of wine, some opt for candlelight and other things to get them moving when they write love scenes. I use music, played softly in the background while I write. Does it always work? No. But it does most of the time.
Here are my top five songs to play while my hero and heroine are ‘playing.’
- Open Arms by Journey. To me that is the most romantic song of all time. The passion in the words, and the way its performed always strikes something in me that makes those words flow.
- Cara Mia by Jay and the Americans. Another romantic song. And the notes that Jay Black hits really brings on the muse.
- Nothing beats the old, familiar Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers. I get goose bumps every time I hear it. (Good goose bumps).
- Okay, so I go back aways, but one of my all time favorite is Elvis Presley The Wonder of You. This one always puts me in a romantic mood.
- And my last pick is the, again, very old You Belong to Me by the Duprees.
That is not my complete list, but probably the top ones I listen to when I want to feel romantic. I hope you click on a few, especially if you are a younger generation reader, and maybe never heard one or two of them.
Now that I’ve gotten you in the mood, take a look at my book, Seducing the Marquess that’s currently on sale for only 99 cents at all retailers. It’s a funny, quirky, romantic story. With, of course, a Happily Ever After!
London, 1819. Richard, Marquess of Devon is satisfied with his ton marriage. His wife of five months, Lady Eugenia Devon, thought she was, too, until she found the book. Their marriage is one of respect and affection, with no messy entanglements such as love. Devon’s upbringing impressed upon him that gentlemen slake their baser needs on a mistress, not their gently bred wives. However, once married, he was no longer comfortable bedding a woman other Eugenia. When she stumbles onto a naughty book, she begins a campaign to change the rules.
Lady Eugenia wants her very proper husband to fall in love with her. But her much changed and undeniably wicked behavior might inadvertently drive her confused husband to ponder the unthinkable—his perfect Lady has taken a lover. But the only man Eugenia only wants is her husband. The book can bring sizzling desire to the marriage or it might cause an explosion.
A proper marriage deserves a proper bedding…
A woman of the ton can only survive so long without the attention of her husband. But that’s all about to change for Lady Devon and her husband the Marquess of Devon.
The steps to seducing one’s own husband are as follows.
First, grab his attention…
1. An accidental peek at her ankle.
2. Deep breaths to bring his attention to her bosom.
3. Ensure he hears the sounds of her in a bath.
Now fan the flames…
4. A quickly hidden journal.
5. A glove left in a most unusual place.
6. Handsome male friends.
And the most tempting step of all…
7. Convince him someone else wants her.
Soon, her dear and proper husband will be dearly and properly jealous. And then she will have him right where she wants him.
