Safe and Sexy #47
Thinking of my romances and safe sex at the same time started when I wrote my discussion post with the same name a long time ago! Not too long after, the idea of sharing quotes about that ensured that the feature Safe and Sexy was born. It’s where I will share a quote from a story I have read, and where there is a lot of hotness and sexiness, but where they still take the time to be safe! It’s important to me to read books that make me dream, but I also want them to be somewhat realistic. And to me, characters seem realistic when they take care of themselves and their partner(s)! Safe sex is a great way to do so, and when an author includes a couple of lines to share that they are indeed using condoms, I am such a happy reader. And I think it’s sexy when both new and ‘old’ lovers show that they respect each other by getting that condom, and possibly making using it both safe and sexy, hot and fun.
If you want to participate with your very own Safe and Sexy quotes, go right ahead. The more the merrier, and maybe your quote will help me add a new book to my bloated TBR shelf 😉 One can never have enough books, right? Without further ado, here’s my Safe and Sexy quote for this week, it’s from Overnight Sensation by Sarina Bowen. I absolutely loved the story, the characters and the romance.
My Safe and Sexy quote:
“First things first. There are condoms in that drawer.” I point to the nightstand on her side of the bed. “Take out as many as you think we’ll need. If you don’t want to go there, I guess that would be none. It’s your call.”
Our eyes lock, and I wait, wondering if she’ll make the smart choice and shut me down. I want her so badly. But I’m sure I’ll regret it later. I exhale as she turns toward the drawer. Because the bed is huge, she has to crawl forward on her hands and knees to reach it. […]
Heidi turns around, holding a strip of no fewer than ten condoms. She tosses them to me with narrowed eyes.

Love it! And I’m already curious about why he thinks she should shut him down. Because she is apparently all on board! 🙂 I can’t wait to pick this one up because Sarina Bowen never, ever disappoints.
I think he’s just double checking that she’s as into it as he is… which I find very hot, actually 🙂 Sarina Bowen always makes me swoon, Tanya, so I hope you’ll find the time to read this one soon!
