That's Hot Thursday!

Desire.............
A woman can have many. But today we're going to talk about HER ONE DESIRE by Kimberly Killion, a medieval romance hot enough to melt your armor. *grin*
But before I start I want invite you here on Friday for an intimate interview with the fabulous Ms. Killion. There will be a FREE gift............:)

OK, now back to HER ONE DESIRE. While I suppose it's not technically classified as erotic romance, it's close;) The love scenes are smokin' hot. But I have to say the thing I love most about HER ONE DESIRE is the sexual tension between Broc and Lizbeth. The plot alone is enough to make it a page-turner, but Ms. Killion keeps upping the sexual stakes too until..........
well, let's just say the reader will be well satisfied. The scene with the honey covered flower petals alone is enough to make you squirm. In a good way;)

HER ONE DESIRE is a Zebra book, 2008.

Be sure to stop in Friday to meet Ms. Killion and for your chance to win a special gift!

True Facts Tuesday - The Language of the Fan

During the mid 1800's fans were a common fashion accessory. Beautiful, beaded, flowered, feathered..........but much, much more. Fans were the instrument of a secret language. A woman could use her fan to signal a man, the being message anything from Follow Me to I Hate You. It was like texting for the Victorians! Below are a few examples of the meanings.

Carrying Fan in Right Hand in Front of Face:  Follow Me
Carrying Fan in Left Hand in Front of Face:  Desirous of Acquaintance
Twirling in the Left Hand: We Are Being Watched
Twirling in the Right Hand: I Love Another
Drawing Across the Cheek: I Love You
Presented Shut: Do You Love Me?
Drawing Across the Eyes: I Am Sorry
Letting Rest on Right Cheek: Yes
Letting Rest on Left Cheek: No
                                              Fanning Slowly: I Am Married
                                              Fanning Quickly: I Am Engaged
                                              With Handle to Lips: Kiss Me
                                             
These are just a few of meanings I thought were interesting. Can't you just imagine candlelit ballrooms, long silk gowns, stolen moments, stolen kisses. Makes you want to buy a fan and signal your lover doesn't it?
