Miss Opportunity - Ch. 12.4
Three hours later, Mike-Mike and Tonja returned to his car after spending some quality time at his place. Quality, as in this was the best sexual experience they’d ever had in their lives. Playing from the car stereo was the same soothing CD by Kem that they’d listened to earlier. Tonja insisted that Mike-Mike bring it out to the car since it contained her newest favorite song - Tonight . “How do you want to play this out, Tonja?” Mike-Mike asked as he drove to her mother’s house where she would be staying tonight. “I really don’t know how we should play this out, Michael,” Tonja replied from the passenger seat. She looked so sated and relaxed sitting there. All of her previous anger and frustration were gone. She’d also taken to calling Mike-Mike by his first name instead of his nickname. “Well, the way I see it, we have three options,” Mike-Mike said. “Option one, we can pretend this never happened on account of the club’s no-fraternizing rule and go back to the way thing...

Once everybody gets over their stunned silences, don't forget to leave lots of comments, okay? The numbers are going up (breaking records for this blog), but no comments.
Your comments help me get a good feel of how things (i.e. love scenes) are going to carry over to the general public. They help me to know things like:
1. Did I go too far with that scene?
2. Not far enough?
3. Or it's okay the way it is.
Thanks for reading with me and being sounding boards.

As for the next half of the book, it's going to get deeper and closer to the point of salvation. I didn't want to rush anything in the first half, so I'm not going to rush anything in the next half of the book.
Thanks again.
They really have an explosive connection. Still tastefully done. I wondered in the earlier Chapters how Bonz would be able to forgive her once he found out the truth. This intensity they feel for each other will certainly help.
As for the general public, the fact they are not saved makes the passionate love scenes more acceptable. As for myself, it's unrealistic to believe that Christians aren't tempted by passion. And as long as its tastefully done, passion should be included in romantic fiction. So I give you 4 stars for using it appropriately in all of your books I have read so far.****
You are leaving me hanging. What's next?
When love (eros and agape - for all you Christian scholars) is allowed to get in on the scene, that glue get stickier. More adhersive.
Tonia, you also get my other point - it is unrealistic to believe that Christians aren't tempted by passion. I personally think the avoidance of that reality is why the enemy is able to defeat a lot of us in that area. That the reason we have so many secret sexual sins in the church is because no one wants to even broach the subject of sex.
It's interesting that though the subject is avoided like the plague, it doesn't seem to stop the activity. In some ways NOT talking about it seems to make it more tempting.
Anyhoo...I'll get off my soapbox now.
Thanks for the 4 stars. A sista really liked that.
As for what next, you'll just have to wait and see.
I'm glad the general consensus is to leave this love scene intact. I felt the peace of God while writing it, but I guess I wanted that confirmation from my reader friends. Since I now have that confirmation, I'm going to leave the scene as is. Hopefully Kim and Carrie (other frequent commentators) will agree. Either way, the scene stays.
*doing my happy dance*
Spoiler-Wait until y'all read their honeymoon scene. Make sure to stock up on tissues, because that scene had me bawling, y'all. But we still have a ways to go yet.
Oops! I think I just told too much. Now everybody's gonna know who DOESN'T die at the end of the story.
Okay, signing off now before I let even more juice slip out. lol
anyways i'm off... we having a long weekend here in SA.... monday is a public holiday.... *yippie* i could definitely do with a break from work!
God bless...
I'm glad you liked the love scene. I thought you would since you're one of my regulars and pretty much know my writing style by now. Even still, doesn't this book have a different feel than all the others?
Enjoy your long weekend, Kim. You deserve a break.
Since I know my regular commentators aren't blowing up the blog counter that many times in a day, the lurkers must be working it out. Thanks for the encouragement, y'all. Makes a sista feel real good.
