I was inspired by a conversation with a friend recently, and so I have decided to add something new into the posting cycle. Today is the first Tender Tuesday post, to help show that softness and kindness in romance can be just as exciting a read as spicy stories. If you’ve read me before, you know I love to write slow burns. So this subject is a favorite of mine across all the works in progress.

So today I ask a question about the voice of a person, and how they make you feel.

My examples are of course from Red Letters, at least this week, as you all have seen enough of the voices to hear them in your heads too. Frost booms lass in so many tones that it’s its own one word language. You know if you’re in trouble or if you’re just needed by the way that word comes out. And, because he usually shouts it at the little lasses he thinks of as daughters, it’s always fatherly, or at least forgiven if they sass him back first…

But the other one? Woods has such random timing that “luv” went from just a way to be British with affect to an anchor. A word that means I got you, and only me. Because, that word? Often imitated, never the same effect except when it’s him.
