Hi! I’m Randi Alexander, and I write cowboy erotic romance.
Welcome to the blog hop! Here are the official rules:
SULTRY SUMMER NIGHTS: IGNITE YOUR PASSIONS BLOG HOP (AUGUST 22-29)
TOUR RULES:
THIS TOUR ENDS: Monday, August 29, at Midnight (Arizona Time)
The excerpt I included with my blog today has some steamy elements that I like to use in combination when I write a sensuous scene in a romance novel. First, there’s the ‘thinking about it’ piece, where one character’s inner voice is imagining what sexy thing he or she wants to do to the other person. Here are a couple sentences from the scene just before the excerpt: Chase knew what to do to get her mind off the different lifestyles they led. And it had to do with a king-size bed, her laying naked on it, and him pressing down on top of her. We’re experiencing the character’s fantasy with them, and visualizing through his mind’s eye what he wants to happen.
Then there’s ‘talking about it’ component. She stepped over the red pool of her dress and sashayed toward him, licking her painted lips, the glint in her eyes dangerous. Chase held his hands out to her, she put her palms against his, then—knelt. His body jerked, nearly poking her in the eye with his shaft. “Reno.” She smiled. “You’re going to like this, cowboy, I promise.” When a character explains what they’re going to do to the other, and both of them are sharing the same fantasy, the sexual tension doubles.
Then there’s ‘doing it’. Chase nibbled a leisurely path down her stomach to her belly button. His tongue in her ticklish spot caused ripples of desire to shoot directly to her core. He kissed lower, easing down her belly, driving her crazy with impatience, but wild with anticipation. Their bodies are together now, and the added element of the sensual connection takes the scene to its deepest emotional and physical level.
I include each of these three types of foreplay throughout the book, layering them, one atop another, until the scene is charged and crackling with passion. The first two are used to create sexual tension in the beginning of the book, but when I add the third component – touch – I’ve got a steamy-hot love scene that’ll I’m hoping will curl a reader’s toes and spark a shiver of delight.
ADULT EXCERPT:
Reno was already at the high bed, skimming her fingers over the navy silk comforter. She walked to the patio doors facing the Gulf, then she turned back to the fireplace and the big white leather sectional couch spread out in front of it. She glanced at him. “This is so beautiful.” She gestured to the water. “Everything. The house, the view.” She smiled. “It’s like a fairy tale.”
Damn, it was good having her here. She fit just fine, like she could make this her home. With him. And maybe a few little ones later.
He strode over to her, pulled off his hat, and tossed it onto the couch. “I wanted you to like it.” Sliding his hands up her arms, he settled them on her shoulders and looked into her eyes.
“What’s that look for?” she asked as she pressed her hands to his chest.
He shook his head and wrapped his arms around her, focusing on what he held right now. “It’s good to have you here.”
“I’m hungry,” she said, her voice low and sexy. She grabbed fistfuls of his t-shirt and yanked the bottom up out of his jeans.
“Whatever you want, baby,” His mind switched to sex just that easily, and his body juiced up, ready to show her how much he missed her. Shrugging out of his jean jacket, he let her pull his shirt over his head.
Her hands landed on his ribs and she traced them to his abs, where she slid her fingers down his stomach to his low-riding jeans. She looked up at him as she snuck her fingers beneath his waistband, touching the head of his hard shaft.
“I want you inside me, Chase,” she demanded.

Hi! Well, let’s see, I followed a link from Wild and Wicked Cowboys blog where you enticed me to buy your book. I’m trying to convince myself that I have self control and will finish and write the review on the book I am currently reading prior to reading for fun. I think I’m just kidding myself.
So, I guess I get a chance by following the Wild and Wicked Cowboys. I don’t twitter so that doesn’t work.
Thanks for the give away.
