Welcome to a special Valentine’s Day blog!

  • Love is . . .
  • Sexy is . . .

    • Remember that everyone who comments on this blog TODAY is eligible to receive a great prize (listed below because it is so humongous!)

    So here’s what a group of romance writers think about love and sex (in no particular order):

  • Love is . . . the way the person in your life makes everything better, the way they make things you never thought you’d like fun and exciting. Love is the laughing in the middle of a fight because the person makes it impossible to stay mad. Love is that special connection that makes you exchange a look in public because you’re thinking the same thing at the same time. Love is celebrated on Valentine’s Day but experience 365 days a year.
    Sexy is . . .a kiss that could go on forever and ever and never be enough. A touch that makes you shiver. A embrace that never seems to be close enough. Being in love.

    1. So nice comments today! I absolutely agree with you all. Love and sex are all of this and so much more. For me love is a man that stands with you not only in good times, but on days that arenn so good. And sex! Well, Antonio Banderas.

    3. Love is a man who is willing to change diapers and stay up with a sick little one. My husband has done this and more and I love him for it. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

    5. Love is a man willing to change diapers and stay up at night caring for a sick little one. My husband has done this and I love him for this and so many other wonderful things he has done. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

    6. Thanks, Danielle as well for noting the time thing! LOL! We don’t want to rush Valentine’s Day out the window too soon!

    7. Thanks to Kerri for pointing a problem with the time stamp on everything! My theme designer was in a different time zone and I never noticed.

      I will take note of that for purposes of contest entries.

    8. Wow, after looking at all the Sexy comments, I must say that I agree with them!

      I believe Sexy is what every woman should feel all the time! Everyone is sexy and expresses it in their own way!

      Although it’s only 2:50 pm on February 14th, I want to wish everyone a Happy and Fun-filled Valentine’s Day!

    9. Love is….telling you how beautiful you are even when you are sick and looking your worst.

      Sexy is…washing your hair for you in the shower!

      Romantic is…proposing to you by writing “will you marry me?” in dark chocolate on your dessert plate.

    10. Sexy… being snowed in with hubby on Valentine’s Day.
      Love… being able to just hang out and have fun while snowed in with no pressure!

    11. Love is… being married to the man of my dreams for 35 years, and can hardly wait for the next 35 years!!

      Sexy is…my husbands smile :^)

    12. SEXY… is a guy with a voice like Sean Connery, blue eyes like Paul Newman, a smile like Keanu Reeves, and an attitude like Jack Sparrow and LOVE… is having a feeling that you will find a guy with all of those rolled into one that will love you back.

    14. Love is a feeling to treasure.
      Sexy is a matter of heart.

      thats what i think it means..

      have nice day and Feliz Dia de Amistad y Amor!!

      augustina

    15. Love is starting up my car at 6:30 in the morning and chipping off the frost.

      Sexy is that look you get when you hold your grandson.

    16. These are beautiful to read! Happy’s Valentine’s day Caridad and everyone.

      Love is feeling joy, with the one you’re with, even with days of hardships, we will always be there for each other, as one.

    17. Sexy is low slung jeans unbuttoned so you can see his hipbones, of course you want some washboard abs.
      lol

    18. These are all great and the comments are fun too.

      I think love is always putting the other person first.

      Sexy is a close shaved beard…yum!!

      Valerie

    19. When my daughter was very little, her dad and I would sometimes pack little notes with her lunch. Made me think of that with your comment.

    20. Loved all the comments.
      To me, Love is a man taking care of you when you’re sick in bed and he tells you you’re lovely when you look like hell.

      Sexy is a man who leaves you love notes all year long not just on Valentines Day.

    21. Sexy is: a man’s low husky whisper in my ear.

      Love is: when my husband knows when I need comfort and when I need to laugh.

    23. The weather outside is frightful, but all your great suggestions are keeping me warm and smiley.

      Morning snuggles, soulful glances, and happiness beyond 20+ years!

      It’s definitely putting me in a happy mood.

      Which makes for an interesting question since so many of you have said this — Are romance readers in general happily married and how many are 20+ years? I will definitely do a poll on this in the future.

      Tomorrow’s blog is going to be a poll about what you think should happen with Diana and Ryder!

    24. I love all the warm and fuzzies:) Love is having your man snuggle up to you in the morning and knowing he doesn’t even care about the morning breath;).

    25. Sexy is….watching a guy’s fingers while he plays guitar.
      Love is…snuggling with my cat and reading a good book.
      Off to do that now….so….

      Happy Valentine’s Day, Caridad!

    26. Sexy is- a great pair of hugging jeans on a man.

      love is-after 23 years still looking in your eyes and telling you how pretty you are and you can see he means it in his eyes

    27. Linda – you sound lucky in love and sex! LOL!

      And Phyllis — I do believe it as well and if you believe, you can never feel truly alone because there’s someone always with you!

    28. Have to say…I LOL @ the effete pirate comment…so true so true!

      Love is…hubby getting 20 books with hunky men on the cover at the library for me…then going back the next day to get 20 more because I had read the first 20 already (happened yesterday :)).

      Sexy is…knowing you can trust him with anything-both in the bedroom and out of it.

    29. Love is definitely sticking together through all the good and the bad! Anyone who is lucky to have someone like that by their side is blessed.

      And yes, don’t we love our sexy hunky vamps. Ryder can put the bite on me anyday, as can either Blake or Diego!

    30. Happy Valentine’s day to everyone!

      Love is to be there for your loved ones, in good and bad times.

      Sexy are books about hunky Vamps

    31. These are all so great!

      Love is being there for each other no matter what!

      Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

    32. Those sayings are absolutely fabulous!!
      Happy Valentine’s Day everyone.
      I agree with Maureen on sexy is guys with moustaches. LRJ’s love is 365 days a year is a good one. They are all good
      and true.

    34. Love is going with you to your favorite author’s signing and looking interested.

      Sexy is reading the “good” parts of the book with you and then playing those out.

      Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

    35. Love the thought of his hair coming loose and the little bit of dirt on his confused face as he tries to fix the car. Especially modern cars — they are so electronic! Maybe we need a science type to help us intead.

    36. Happy Valentines Day to everyone! Loved reading everybodys comments, they put a smile on my face.

    37. That’s a very nice idea for a valentine.
      I think Love is caring like trying to help you if your car’s broke.
      Sexy would be him his tie undone hair tousled his face has a little stain from your car and he doesn’t have a clue how to make it start.

    39. You all got up so early to visit and I really appreciate that! I’m so glad you are all liking the various Love/Sexy comments and leaving some wonderful ones as well.

    41. Happy Valentine’s Day!

      I can’t think of any sayings to add at the moment (it’s not 6 am here yet, so my brain isn’t quite working, I don’t think), but I enjoyed reading the ones other people contributed.

    42. A sexy grin! That works to melt your heart on occasion. There’s a new commercial on — don’t ask me for what! It shows all kinds of music people and this rather cute EMO-type guy checking out his groceries. He’s got a great grin! My daughter will rewind that commercial every time it is on.

    43. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone ~here’s a chocolate for all~

      Great sayings, thank you. My 2 cents worth *grin* follows:

      Love is … a knowing and belonging between two souls

      Sexy is … his grin for cover

    45. Love is after being up all night taking care of you sick loved one and still smile in the morning when you think of them.

      I love the other sayings!

    47. Great thoughts.

      I think Love is a hug and cup of hot tea when you’re not feeling well.
      Sexy is an evening together with no kids around.

    48. Love is still caring for each other after 28 years of ups and downs and give and take and looking forward to the next 28 yrs.

      Sexy is waking up beside him with an ocean breeze blowing in the window and finding him all warm and snuggly

    50. Happy Valentine’s Day!!!

      I love all the sayings from everyone. Gotta love a man coming out of the shower. Well, unless of course, he’s not very hunky. lol
