Sure
to please fans of erotic romance, Lea Griffith’s All or Nothing
series returns to the deepest places of longing and obsession.
Three
years ago, Ruthie Copeland ran away from an erotic connection that
shook her to the core. Now she realizes that Tobias Edwards is the
only man who can give her what she craves. Determined to reignite the
dangerous flame between them, Ruthie seeks him out at The
Underground—and discovers a changed man. Though Ruthie, blind since
childhood, cannot see the scars on Toby’s face that forced him to
seal off his heart, her gentle submission eases the pain of her
body’s only Master.
Toby
stopped feeling after Ruthie left, stopped expecting to find release
in meaningless dominance play. Now that Ruthie has taken their dance
to the limits of ecstasy, Toby’s lost in a haze of sensation. Yet
the enemies that left him disfigured may reappear at any moment.
Ruthie’s love gives him the strength to face those who seek to
break him, but Toby fears he must leave her to save her life.
More
is an erotic romance intended for mature audiences.

Romancing the Readers welcomes Lea Griffith! Thank you for stopping by and sharing with us today!
Thank you so much for having me. It’s
my first visit and I’m excited to be here with you!
I’m Lea Griffith and I’m here to
talk smexxy times. I write a little bit of everything, but my love
right now is romantic suspense and erotic romance. I love action and
intense romance and both of these subgenres allow me to explore that
love. I grew up (seriously, I used to sneak my mother’s romance
novels at a very young age) on the greats, Woodiwiss, McNaught,
Garwood, and while I’ve added to that list over the years, I write
my own stories now because the voices won’t leave me alone until I
tell their story.
My upcoming release is MORE, book 2 in
the All or Nothing series. It is a contemporary erotic romance
series, hence my desire to talk smexxy times. I’ve often wondered
how much is too much? How little is not enough? Where is the perfect
balance to be found when writing sex scenes that include BDSM and the
D/s dynamic?
My all-time favorite authors wrote sex,
of course they did! And while it was definitely hot a lot of my
favorite books contain sex scenes that would be considered tame by
today’s standards. For me, it was the emotional content of their
sex scenes that propelled the interludes into the “whew I need an
ice cube” zone.
As the romance genre has grown, the
boundaries have expanded and what once would have made a woman gasp,
has become the norm. So again what is too much? What isn’t enough?
Where is the balance?
For me, the balance is directly
dependent on the characters and their story. I cannot tell a lie—I
write really hot sex scenes, whether in my erotic or in my romantic
suspense. There is something about that elemental tie between a man
and woman that demands I give it all I have. (No pun intended, lol)
In MORE, we get Tobias and Ruthie’s
story. We get spanking, sex swings, climax-denial and a few other
things that really ramp up the intensity of their scenes. But again,
it’s the emotional journey these two take that allowed me to open
up their smexxy times and I think makes each scene hotter, sexier,
more fulfilling for the character and the reader. MORE is an erotic
romance so of course a reader will expect sex. I can only hope they
will be able handle the intensity of the bond between Tobias and
Ruthie which takes that sexy to a whole new level.
So I would love to know—what book has
the perfect smexxy times for you? What makes you want to get an ice
cube or a fan and sit there for a few minutes waiting on your
heartbeat to slow down?
Thanks for having me today, Romancing
the Readers!
