Research Purposes Only (Bad Boy MFM Romance)
Terry Towers - 2016
Fraud. Charlatan. I was all of those and more. Well, that’s how I felt most of the time. I write romance novels—and not the sweet, innocent, “dewy rose of her desire” kind. Nope, for me, it’s gotta melt your panties or I’m not doing my job. My fans love my books, but with every comment praising me for writing the wild woman they wish they could be, those words above are like stakes that pierce my heart. People say you should “write what you know.” Truth is, I wrote what I imagined, not what I knew. Sex with my nice, pleasant boyfriend always seemed restrained—and not in the fun way. If I wrote books based on that, they'd never sell. Oh, and those who say that even bad sex is still good obviously never slept with my ex. He dumped me, hoping for someone who won’t put their career first. And you know what? I was thrilled he beat me to it. No one wants to be the bad guy, so unbeknownst to him, he was doing me a favor. Now, with the access man baggage shed, I intend to do what any self-respecting romance author would do in my place: fly to Amsterdam to soak up as much experience as I can—no strings attached. Tax-deductible, intellectual, and purely sexual. You know… RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY. I expect to experience a wild week or two, acquire some knowledge so I can write what I know, so I don’t feel like a fraud. I’ll be ecstatic if I find even one man who can hold his own against my libido and sexual curiosity. But the thought of two drop-to-your-knees-gorgeous men who can outstrip me, or who would want me for more than just a good time? That sounds too far-fetched for even me to consider...
