That's why contemporaries are great, many characters have children and that's something the reader can identify with. I hear ya on the kids talking with a yell across the room to each other. When the volume goes up at my house, the boys go out. They can compete with the barking dogs and bleating sheep that way. LOL!!

I agree with Tammy - it's ...Great post, Sheri!<br /><br />I agree with Tammy - it's in the 'little things', the small touches, the looks across a room full of screaming, bashing-each-other kids (that's my house, btw!).<br /><br />Something else I think works in both real life and romantic fiction is the fact that you shouldn't take anything for granted. You have to find a way to see your partner as someone sexy, whose bones you want to jump. It's up to you to keep that little spark alive and ready to flare.<br /><br />I love writing about kids in romance. In fact, the series I just started is based on the premise that a child (baby or grown up) comes unexpectedly into an unsuspecting/unexpected couple's life. :)Zee Monodeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03709226882459365836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275093834818398021.post-86810425858120207362011-04-09T21:13:35.321-05:002011-04-09T21:13:35.321-05:00@ Lisa ~ Funny you mention the focus on the kids. ...@ Lisa ~ Funny you mention the focus on the kids.

Five kids gar...@ Tammy ~ Thank you for stopping by! Five kids garners you high kudos for patience and a master of seduction on the sly. I bet you have some tried and true wisdom for writers creating their romantic scenes…with children around.<br /><br />@ Kary ~ Men performing housework IS sexy. I agree wholeheartedly! That'd be a great characteristic in a hero, with brownie points increasing if he cooks too! Thanks for your comment!<br /><br />@ Brenda ~ I thought about you when I started writing this post. We both have new characters coming down the pike and as you know, it's never too early to start planning. I love your intrigue: Sex, love, and danger!! Looking forward to your next novel. <br /><br />@ Mart ~ Thanks for coming by. Yeah, I saw that picture and thought about the minds of men. And how they process what is and isn't a priority!

I will have to weave a renewed relationship between the H/H, the hero and his son getting to know each other for the first time, and their developing relationship, sex, love, and danger.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03721556815192785649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275093834818398021.post-51958637115280863232011-04-09T10:09:45.089-05:002011-04-09T10:09:45.089-05:00I have three kids and life is busy.

Small reminders of what happened the night before or promises of whats to come. Either way, even if nothing else happenes later, life has a way of 'getting in the way', the touch lets you know you're thought of, desired.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17235989098508210676noreply@blogger.com
