Sensual Reads Blog: Dawn or Dusk? by Kate Hill

When I’m reading romance, I look forward to love scenes. There’s something magical about people in love showing their affection through tender kisses and passionate touches. The first time characters make love is usually memorable and makes you long for the next time they merge in body and spirit.

Though great love scenes can happen at any time of day, I prefer scenes that take place at dusk or night over morning love scenes. Maybe because I’m a night person by nature, but there’s nothing more romantic than a love scene in which the characters are enveloped by darkness, make love by firelight on a stormy night or hold each other beneath a starry sky.

I’ve enjoyed reading morning love scenes, but I still lean toward evening or nighttime passion.

How do you feel about love scenes? Do you prefer ones that take place in the morning or at night?

      Great topic, I really had not thought about it before. I guess I would lean more towards evening too.

      I’m with you on later in the day. But I’m still a big fan of whole afternoon delight thing. When it’s light out you know your characters can see and describe everything. But then in the dark, things need to be described by touch. That’s pretty wonderful too. ;-)

      Nice post, Kate.

      I think that time of day is irrelevant. :) To me its more important that a scene be engaging. So many I gloss over.
