Falling in love

Jul 1, 2003 - © Suzanne James

buy the heroine when he gives her diamonds. Another reader will melt into tears at this genuine expression of love. Play it cool, set it up, and include other elements of love to strengthen the motives behind the gift. This would be a great way to foreshadow the lovemaking scene. Helping with the work is one expression that most women understand. Your heroine may have made the perfect supper, but did the hero help with the dishes? Authors who use dominant males should make sure they express love by taking out the trash. This will create balance, and show the hero as a strong man and not a user. Physical touch is not the end-all expression of love that our society would have us believe it is. There are many excellent inspirational writers who never write a sex scene, but the sensuality is stronger than most books on the market. These writers know how to build intimacy from first glance, first accidental touch, first touch, through to where the couple are comfortable totally immersed in the other's personal space. This will work for any author when each touch is explored thoroughly allowing the reader's senses to be triggered so they feel it to. These five expressions of love should be the foundation of every romance novel. They will trigger emotions in all readers and touch our primal need to be loved. All great love stories weave these together to create a believable climax and satisfying resolution. Read a few of the classic love stories to see this method of writing romance in action.
