SOME LIKE IT HOT! By Kathleen Lawless @kathleenlawless


I’m one of those weird hybrid writers who writes all heat levels, from chastity and church, to Giddyup! and everything in between.  I’ve heard from readers who love my steamy scenes (they tell me their sex lives improved) and reviewers who were totally disgusted.  I’ve heard some readers say it’s refreshing to have things left to the imagination, while and others live vicariously through the imaginative details penned by their favorite authors. 

So my question for you, Dear Reader, in the Comment and Win part of today’s blog is …  How do you feel?  Do you like the bedroom door open or closed?  Does it depend on the characters, and the writer’s skill level?  Or is a good story a good story, heat level aside?  
There is no right or wrong answer, but I’d love to hear your thoughts.  Remember to include your email written out like this.  Yourname at whatevermail dot com.    
The bedroom door is definitely closed on the stories in our fantastic summer boxed set, LAST CHANCE BEACH: Summer’s End, but that doesn’t stop some of the writers from turning up the heat and ramping up the sexual tension.  For instance, what happens when there are 2 people and only one bed?  
I love that there is something in this collection to suit all readers.   This set is a steal at only 99 cents.  https://amzn.to/3hJseeT

Plus there’s a free companion cocktail recipe book  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08DR4K3YX/


I’ve got several new releases set to debut soon, starting with MAIL ORDER RACHEL, Book 24 of the popular Widows, Brides and Secret Babies series.  This book releases August 21st and is squeaky clean.  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088HFGF49

NOT THE BRIDE HE WAS EXPECTING!

Rachel has looked after herself from a very young age.  When she witnesses a murder, she needs to get out of town fast, before she’s next.  Desperate, she takes her friend’s place as a mail-order bride out west.

Daniel longs for a wife and family.  Not only is his mail-order bride not what he expected, she shows up with a baby that she claims isn’t hers.  When a bounty hunter arrives asking questions, Daniel’s protective instincts kick in, along with his suspicions.  What is his new wife hiding?  
 

UNDONE, Book 6 of Secret Seductions is, as the series implies, rather racy if I do say so myself.  But it’s fun.  Three girlfriends on vacation with one thing on their minds.  I think we’ve all secretly longed to be on a vacation with good friends, and the freedom to be naughty.  

An Ex-Rated Scavenger Hunt!
It’s Kennedy’s solution to cheer up her two best friends and spice up their lives on a badly-needed girls’ getaway.

Lisa is getting over a cheating husband.
Justine recently broke up with her married lover.
While Kennedy is just love ’em and leave ’em Kennedy, in her element on a beach paradise surrounded by wealthy, eligible, and smokingly-single men.
The first one to complete the sexcapades list is the winner.
Which of them will take home the ultimate prize?  Who will lose her heart?  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089D3SQ44


On the Clean and Wholesome front, I’m introducing HOPE, the first book in my Widows of the Wild West series.  Many readers have already met Percy and Hope in the Seven Brides for Seven Brothers bonus novella, PERCY’S HOPE.  This is their HEA.  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08DSL7Y8H


A VIRGIN WIDOW
A HUNTER OF LONG-LOST TREASURE.
CAN THEY OVERCOME THE PAST?

Hope arrives in a small western town, a place that captured her imagination during a passion filled month in Percy’s company that ended in heartbreak for both.  Her last glimpse of Percy was when he boarded a train headed East, gone from her life forever. 

Percy is a professional treasure hunter whose actions are dictated by facts and figures.  The one time he acted on his instincts instead of the facts everything backfired, a mistake he’s not about to repeat.  Not even after recently widowed Hope walks back into his life, and passion re-sparks between them.  This time, he vows to keep her at arm’s length.  

I'm eagerly awaiting everyone's comments on opening the bedroom, leaving it ajar in some instances, or keeping it firmly shut.


Stay safe and have a wonderful Summer's End!
