But PZB doesn't even give me the "then he was in me" type of scene. Hers is more like, He gave him a deep, soul-searing kiss ... ... ... Then as they lay together later. What the heck is up with that anyway? It was make-up sex too! J., That’s bugged me about Evanovich for years. But PZB doesn’t even give me the “then he was in me” type of scene.

What the heck is up with that anyway?

It was make-up sex too!

And all her characters are drawn as such sexual people too that it only seems natural that the sex should be an important part of the story. I'm reading another of her books now about a couple who are both chefs. They have a very intense relationship and I thought, okay she'll show me at least a little, right? Well, no. She does that supremely annoying fade to black thing. Arg! Ally, I know what you mean about PZB not being shy at all.

Since sex is such an important part of any relationship, no matter what phase it's in, why not include it so the reader can see the heroes in *all* their most private moments? I mean, if I'm allowed into their thoughts I should be allowed into their bedroom too, right? Plus, there is that all important hotness factor. Lol! Lisabea, That’s exactly how I feel about it.

I've been saying this about Janet Evanovich forever! She's a fantastic author but I WANT to see the sex dang it! The "then he was in me." sex scene had me screaming obsenities for a full ten minutes. The woman writes the most amazing sexual tension, but then it ends up being like sex without the orgasm. AURGH! And like you said, I'm not dissing JE, She one of my faves and a damned good author, but dang it, show me the sex! Ant least one scene, that's not asking too much is it? Amen!

FSM knows the short story collections she's put together (ex: the Love In Vein series) are Teh Sexiness. So why no mansex in this one? It does sound like a cool story though. What Lisabea said *g*

We just had this conversation on a live journal about looking at the intimate goings on in the bedrooms of the mens and how much women readers enjoy that. It was complicated. I'm not sure I followed the entire thing. However, it makes sense to me that if you are developing a relationship between two characters, that glipse into their physical loving gives the reader a better understanding of those characters. Plus it's hot. Holy Crap, Kim, this is timely.
