"Should be in every author's toolbox " -Early Reviewer

While overusing adjectives in regular scenes is a faux pas, they are indispensable when the clothes come off and the lovemaking begins. Dive into words that paint vivid pictures, like "sprouting, thick, eager, hot, frenzied, throbbing, strong," for him, and "supple, taut, pluckable, quivering, tangy, velvety, wet," for her. These adjectives will transform your spicy scenes into scenes your readers will read again and again. Also inside are the different heat levels of a scene and examples of each.

Who this book is not for: This thesaurus is not for writers of sweet romance nor any genre that doesn't include scenes of physical intimacy. Also, profanity and naughty words coat the pages, including words that can sound aggressive and negative. If such language may upset you, this is not the book for you.
