A Fave Trait – Friends to
Lovers
Being a Contemporary Romance
Author, I have the privilege of writing stories where the characters can be
meeting for the first time and fall in love, have tried love once and it failed
but come together again for a second chance or who have been friends along time
without facing their true feelings for one another.
I love all
these premises in romance, am an avid Contemp Romance Reader, but my fave is
friends to lovers. My husband and I were friends along time before we began
dating and we knew one another very well. We already had camaraderie, a bond
that was stronger than either of us fully realized in the beginning.
When writing
these stories, the story can progress a lot easier and faster – the bond is
already there, the nuances of friendship that are sometimes easy to explore and
delve deeper into. I love that the
strength of the relationship between the main characters is already there and I
can enjoy the ride of new adventures with both of them. That all being said,
writing with this premise isn’t a cake-walk, there are still ups and downs to
it and the characters are quite often uncooperative. But it’s a hell of a ride that I enjoy
immensely.
So what about you – what Contemp Romance
concept do you like best, or read most often – friends to lovers, unrequited
love, new/meeting for the first time love? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Bridget Guthrie and Zander Hudson have
worked at Club Splendor together for years, sharing smoldering glances,
flirting, and building a friendship. Thanks to the club’s strict policy of no
staff fraternization, they’ve resisted how much they truly want each another.
With Bridget leaving to explore her dreams,
they no longer have to hide their passions. After hours, in one of the pleasure
rooms at Club Splendor, they finally give in to the burning desire they’ve held
at bay for too long. She’s taken care of
other people’s love lives for so long while at the club, can she find the
courage to take care of her own needs and fantasies?

Bridget gasped and inched away from him. Turning,
her eyes locked with his. Her bottom came up against the table behind, her
heart racing, realizing there was little room to move. She was trapped between
Zander and the wooden object. Nerves skated down her spine. The hunger and need
in the darkness of his eyes emboldened her, filled her with a confidence she
never experienced before.
No time to think about that. Not when desperate
need coursed through her. His first kiss against her skin changed things. There
was no way she’d accept just friendship with him now.
Anxious, wanting to hold onto this moment with him,
and share her innermost desires, she grabbed the remote from the table and hit
a button. The curtains behind her opened. She watched Zander’s eyes shift
upward and go wide. They returned to hers and he grinned.
Bridget hit another button and the room filled with
moans and sounds of flesh slapping against flesh. She trembled hearing the
couple’s rough but no-doubt-exhilarating sex behind the glass. Always hard on
each other while at the same time as gentle as their love, both enjoyed vigorous
and no-holds barred sex and gave no apologies.
Zander stepped toward her, and skimmed his palms
across her stomach, creating heat and butterflies circling inside her. So hot,
his skin warmed her.
But when he lowered his head to hers, his lips
gliding against hers, all thoughts fled and she pulled him closer, need and
anticipation filling her.
Empowered, she slipped her tongue inside of his
mouth. He moaned and opened wider for her, allowing her to discover the
delicious taste of him. Cupping his ass cheeks, she held him close as they
explored, and his palms drifted over the globes of her bottom.
Her heart thrummed as he fisted the soft cotton of
her skirt then tugged her even closer. She didn’t think it was possible to be
so absorbed in this man. She craved crawling all over him for endless hours.
Zander pressed his forehead against hers.
“Bridget,” he muttered, “I want you. So much.”
“I want you too.” She brushed her lips against his.
Lifting his hands, he made quick work of the
buttons of her blouse. He pulled open the sides, and groaned. “This is what you
wear to work?”
He smoothed his fingers along the valley between
her breasts and skimmed over the sheer see-through material of her bra. She
loved lingerie and spent as much money as possible at Victoria’s Secret. Her
one indulgence, she treated to herself whenever she socked her school money
away from her allotted bi-weekly checks or any extra income from working more
hours at the club.
His wide and hungry eyes made her feel sexy and she
smirked at him. “You don’t like it?”
“If I liked it any better I’d have a heart attack
right now. Jesus, gorgeous…your tits are so hot behind that lacy stuff.”
