Defending Allye: Book 1 in the Mountain Mercenaries Series by Susan Stoker

Protective alpha heroes abound in the Mountain Mercenaries Series, but the heroines are pretty impressive themselves! If I'm not reading romance, I'm reading mystery/thriller/suspense novels and this series has all of the above!

Why'd I love it?

The heroine is strong as hell in the face of a terrifying reality.
He saves her. I'll never tire of true heroes.
All of the characters are well developed, and Susan does a great job of setting the reader up for the next books.
There is plenty of action and plenty of romance.

How Writing Sex Changed My Life

By Kaye Kennedy • 22 Apr, 2021

When I first started writing romance, I was intimidated by the idea of penning steamy sex scenes. I *almost* decided to be a fade-to-black author 😲 but I knew that the stories I wanted to write needed sex. Despite being terrified by the idea, I put my fingers to the keyboard and pushed myself to get the words out. Best. Decision. Ever. Here's why: I was raised in a conservative family. The only "sex talk" I got from my mother happened when I started dating my first boyfriend. All she said was, "Don't kiss him with your mouth open." Yeah...it was too late for that because he'd already kissed me. And my mouth was open. And I hadn't been struck down on the spot because of it... So, how did that translate as I got older? I was ashamed of my sexual side. That isn't to say that I wasn't sexually active, but I never talked about it with anyone. Sometimes, that even included my partner; I wouldn't communicate what I liked/disliked/wanted to try/etc... Not exactly healthy. I'd been labeled as a "little bit of a prude" by more than one person, which I knew was not who I authentically was (I am a Scorpio after all 😉), but the shame had kept me from arguing.
