Unusual Places to Make Out

I must not be very adventurous, judging by Ana’s posting yesterday. Most of my outdoors making out, in my books I hasten to add, has been on a beach. Come to think of it that might not be too comfortable, I mean think of all that sand! In A Sprig of Broom my first novel, my two main characters frequently made out on one of those wild and wonderful beaches in Wales, and in Eden’s Child, a beach on the Coral Sea, Australia was a chosen venue. A Saxon Tapestry too, being set near a beach, gives ample opportunity for this kind of thing…oh my goodness and so does A Substitute Bride, what is it with me and beaches?

I’ve had shower scenes, always a good one and it seems like fun. My heroine in A Fatal Flaw tries to tempt her boyfriend to make out in the car but being a cop, he isn’t having any of that!

I think back to the old days – those big Chevy’s and Chrysler motors, they must have given many an opportunity to an adventurous couple, so roomy. I doubt today’s cars would be as good for, er, making out. I once had a Chrysler de Soto, but no never made out in it! Great car though.

I guess the list of places is endless really, I love Ana’s idea of the rocking chair and on a horse…oh my goodness, I am an innocent! I must get to be more adventurous, but one thing I don’t particularly like is the mile high thing…squashed in that mucky little space, no way is that going to feature in one of my books. I’ve had to wait too long to use the darn thing for the purpose it’s designed for to write enjoyably about that!

  1. Beaches, Margaret? You'd want to keep your clothes on...gritty, dirty sand, crabs and who knows what else. In the next book of my trilogy, my protagonist and her soul mate are finally going to make out.Will it be in a haunted wood-lot, by the great monoliths at Stonehenge, in an ancient burial ground or in Aunties feather bed?

  2. I am not sure about those cold stones at Stonehenge, Pauline. Autnie's feather bed sounds a lot better.

  3. Hi,

    Tailgate of a Land Rover 110 parked on African plain - both so preoccupied, neither spotted a male lion had crept up until almost too late. Needless to say, a rifle to hand and fired several times into the air enough to put the beautiful beast begrudgingly to ambling flight.

    Oh, and then there was the sex in the swimming pool scene, and sex between Captain and Air Stewardess in the galley: curtain drawn! ;)

    Guess which really happened and which is MC related? :)

  5. Thank goodness Land Rovers are sturdy!
    I made out once on a beach and got so many mosquito bites, I vowed to never do that again. Quickie atop the milk cooling tank? The cows didn't pay us no mind. Just kept on chewing....

  6. Ah, see, in a romance novel, I prefer to ignore the sand on the beach that in real life gets everywhere.

    I totally agree about the Mile High club. Doesn't really sound romantic to me.

  8. Oh you saucy thing you! Sounds like a lot of fun but I'm not sure about the lion.
