I agree with you about being a reader who is tricked. I hate that.

Exactly! I hate truncated sex scenes the most, it's so irritating when the tension and plot has been leading slowly/quickly but irrevocably to it only to find its not there. Keira G.’s last blog post..Get into Bed with Robin Kaye (Author Q&A)

Number one. Thank you, Muah! Number two. You’ve nailed it in one, again. Dont give me a bunch of words with no follow through dammit. If you’re gonna talk the talk then walk the walk, or in this case if you gonna mention a hot hard cock then use it, and show us. Hmmmm, that’s sounds bitchy.

Damn right I’m smirking! And I loved Colin even more for leaving his undies on.
