Safe & Sexy #10
I’ve had the idea for a feature about safe sex for a long time, ever since I had my discussion post with the same name a long time ago! And finally, Safe & 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 & sexy, hot and fun.
If you want to participate with your very own Safe & 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 & Sexy quote for this week, it’s from Hard Justice by Lori Foster. This story really, really did it for me! Fallon was such a sweet heroine, and Justice was strong both inside and out. I loved how he saw more to people than what they showed the world, and how close he was to his mom and grandma 🙂
Playing it safe has never felt so dangerous…
Justice Wallington knows how to harness his strength and intimidating size—skills he put to good use first in the MMA cage, and now as a bodyguard at the Body Armor agency. But no opponent has ever left him feeling as off balance as his new client, heiress Fallon Wade. Far from a spoiled princess, she’s sweet and intriguingly innocent. It’s a risk-free assignment, until he’s required to fake a relationship with her in order to blend in.
Sheltered from the world after a family tragedy, Fallon longs to experience life—going to bars, dancing, talking to strangers. Not easy with a huge, lethal-looking bodyguard shadowing her every move. Justice seems like her polar opposite, but pretending to be a couple stirs undeniable heat. And when danger strikes again, it’s not just her safety in jeopardy, but a passion that’s real, raw and absolutely against the rules…
My Safe & Sexy quote:
He damn near pulled the drawer out of the nightstand in his rush to find a condom. he jerked the packet open with his teeth and looked at Fallon with a burning gaze while he rolled on the protection. Her thighs were sprawled, her long lashes resting on her cheeks damp with perspiration, her breasts heaving as she continued to gulp deep breaths.
Thanks for stopping by today. Don’t forget to include your Safe & Sexy post in the linky. Have a fantastic Friday and happy reading.
I don’t think I’ve actually seen any of your “Safe & Sexy” posts until now, but I love this idea. It’s really important and I love seeing books show the importance of safety during those steamy moments. I haven’t read this book, but I do love Lori Foster!
I haven’t read any books yet by the author but this is another really great Safe & Sexy quote.
I’m starting to notice when authors use safe sex all the time now! I love it. 🙂
That is definitely a sexy quote. Sounds like this book has a lot of heat.
What an awesome feature, Lexxie! Love it! I’ve yet to read anything by Foster but I several from her on my TBR. This one sure sounds hot. 🙂
This feature is so cool, Lexxie! I love romance novels, but sometimes they miss the mark on safe sex by a mile. Thank god for the upward swing in safer sex in these novels, because it’s really important to celebrate it!
I’m glad you like it, Danya! You should come by and share your own quote one of these days 😉
