Sizzling
A good book doesn’t have to go into full details and can still be hot.
It depends on the story; I’m not picky as long as it doesn’t take over the story.
Between tepid and hot. Sex is good when done tastefully. Very vivid or too graphic makes me want to skim through or possibly skip the lines/pages.
With a great story it doesn’t matter
A little goes a long way to give you the visual of what is going on. When it gets into full detail it just loses something. You then just skim by all the over written scenes.
Sizzling!!!!!
Hot!
Although I like it hot…the story is the most important to me.
I like hot but if it blends into the story well then sizzling or even mild works for me.
A little goes a long way with out a lot of graphic detail
I like it hot 🙂
If the story is good out doesn’t matter to me. But Hot is good. 🙂

Should say “it” not out
Hot
I like a good story but even with that a writer can make the briefest time together HOT without giving every detail away.
Sizzling.
I like it to match the characters. Sizzling might not work for all, tepid may never work with your characters except at the first, but you seem to always find the right balance in your stories to make the sex scenes realistic.
I say sizzling.
It all depends on the story. Sometimes I read a story and there is no sex scene and that is good because it didn’t need it. Some writers just plop sex lled fin to make the story longer. When the writer builds up the sexual tension, then it is called for. How explicit is up to you. I like your books just the way you write them.
Sizzling 😉
Always sizzling.
Hot! NO CHEATING! A HEA IS GOOD!
I like it hot, but not graphic or crude. Sometimes a sex scene does not even need the words, i.e., “As they ran to the bedroom door laughing he picked her up and closed the door as he walked through.” Sometimes using your imagination can make the scene hotter!
Sizzling
usually sizzling, but sometimes i feel like i’m on overload and every sex scene seems more comical than i think the author intended. then i read a few tepid ones before getting back to the sizzlers.
In between hot and sizzling…but i don’t like the scene to drag on and on!
I like mine super sizzling with no cheating and a HEA!!
Hot!
It all depends on the type of story and the characters, I like to read between hot and sizzling but nothing crude! But your books are perfect just the way they’re done! Your stories have all the right elements and balance between the characters and the storyline which makes for sensational reading. (Please don’t change your writing style ) thank you for the chance!
It really does not matter- whatever fits the story and the characters
Hot, yet leaving the imagination open.
Sizzling!
Sizzling!!!!!
Sizzling
Sizzling is great when the characters are so connected to each other that to see the other gets excited. It doesn’t have to be graphic to have the reader getting hot and bothered with the scene.
Sizzling. 🙂 and that doesn’t necessarily mean graphic. Tasteful can still be sizzling.
My mood changes on how much sex I enjoy in a book. I don’t like extreme erotica. I do enjoy some steamy scenes but not when it’s just put in to make a story longer.

Sizzling!
I like mild sex and a great story.
Sizzling!!
Slizzling
It depends. Although lately with all of the really graphic scenes being written I am a fan of slow burn romance not just sizzling scenes. Honestly, I enjoy the sex scenes if they match the romance and are not just for the sake of having them in a book…numerous times. Some great books have no descriptions at all and that can be fine, too.
Hi Donna once again. Since I’m single and in my 60’s I’ll take sizzling. It’s very interesting when you have a great story line. I loved the lovemaking in To Love a HighLander, and also the way it was with Dawn and Cree. These stories are all done out of love, and love is what makes a great marriage. Sizzling sex, is a big part of that marriage.
Hi Donna. I like hot and sizzling in my stories.
Doesn’t matter, as long as the story is engaging and the characters are interesting!
I like whatever fits in the story although I have read some books where I just want a little more to really give the adoringly aching feel of love the characters supposedly feel.
Sizzling, very HOT, clearly described!! I live vicariously through your stories Donna!
Sizzling!!!
Personally, I’m not into graphic sex scenes. Mild sexual tension is good enough to get the point across.
