Arousing Adjectives is great for building sensuality into any scene, not just the explicitly sexy ones. I enjoyed using this tool to mix up my descriptive words for characters and ensure the words match and enhance the mood. Body parts descriptors were especially fun and expansive.
-Eliza Lovejay, author of Love Over Labor
The Thesaurus for Romance Writers series is perfect for any author who wants to write steamy scenes that will make readers reach for their lover (or lovers!). The series is not just a set of well-categorized synonyms. It also contains tips and templates on how to write compelling, spicy scenes.
-Chloe Adler, Author of the Tales from the Edge series
A Reference Guide for Writing Intimate Lovemaking
Arousing Adjectives: Synonyms to Spice Up Your Steamy Scenes is the perfect spice to make bedroom scenes-and elsewhere-hot and delicious. Know what experience you want to convey to the reader and the right word is on the tip of your tongue but you just can't taste it yet? Let this thesaurus with its abundance of naughty adjectives transform your scenes into hands-on reading. Not just for romance writers, if your paranormal, fantasy, Sci-Fi, thriller, or adventure has moments where the characters get to know each other better under the sheets, have this reference guide handy to make your scenes require the readers to get hot and sticky.
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.
