Today author Rie Warren is taking over TTC Books and more to talk about Writing HOT M/M sex, when you are a 100% HETRO Woman!
Let’s do a checklist:
Let’s do a checklist:
I’ve got all the wrong equipment.
My boys, being all about the male-on-male lovin’, are
pro-ass-sex.
No facial hair—check.
And let’s face it, I weigh about one hundred pounds
soaking wet, I’m not a muscle-bound big boy with stuff to strut.
What can I say? I’m always up for a challenge. About the
only thing going for me when you read that list is I like men as much as Cannon
and Nathaniel do, so much so I decided to tackle two at the same time for your
sexy reading pleasure.
In many respects it doesn’t matter if I’m writing a het
story or a M/M story—the sex better be squirm-in-your-seats on fire. I have one
rule of thumb. If I enjoy writing it, I’m fairly certain you’ll get off reading
it. Taking on two men and making their erotic scenes realistic starts
with…um…attention to detail about the male body times two. It starts with being
in the right mindset. When you’re writing the POV of a clearly hardcore,
hard-hitting alpha male, the sex probably isn’t going to be sweet and slow. It’s
going to be rough, wild, pounding.
But not always. That’s where ‘research’ comes into play.
Thank god for the internet! And other M/M writers. Google images, Pinterest,
Tumblr, and yes, porn sites. While I love how bold and sometimes even brutal
the sex can be between two male characters, I also adore a beautiful, intimate
love making scene. Being able to write both creates an emotional depth to the
characters that readers can connect with. It makes the characters believable
and authentic. Adding romance to the equation elevates erotica and piques
reader interest.
There’s this question I love about the M/M genre, and
I’ve seen it pop up time and again. I’ve heard it from my own mother in fact,
which tickles me every time I think about it. The conversation with my mom went
something like this when discussing marketing possibilities for In His Command:
Her, ‘Maybe you could place an ad in a magazine for gay
men.’
Me, ‘Bwah ha ha ha ha! Mom, the majority of readers for
this genre are women.’
Her, ‘No way!’
Is male-male erotica/romance really written for women?
Hell yes! At least it is in my experience and judging from the diverse group of
readers I know. But…but…why? Why do we get revved up about two men going at it?
Because it’s two men going at it. Two for the price of one. Two straining,
muscled, thrusting, passionate men. Amen
to all of that, I say.
In His Command
Attraction isn’t just dangerous, it’s deadly.
It is the year 2070. Generations ago, the world was
annihilated by catastrophic environmental events. The survivors were driven to
live in big city centers ruled by the Company. To rebuild the world’s
population, the oppressive Company had one rule: all homosexuals must be
exterminated.
Commander Caspar Cannon has a stellar military reputation—and
a life-threatening secret. When a revolution rips through the territories,
Cannon is ordered to escort Company executive Nathaniel Rice to a secure
location. For months, the commander has harbored illicit desire for Rice,
knowing he cannot act on his attraction. Privileged, polished, and groomed to
one day take over the Company, Rice is drawn to the rugged, military man. Yet
Rice has his own mysterious agenda, and he knows their love can be as dangerous
as the wasteland they must traverse.
Now leaving the besieged city behind, the two men embark on a
journey that becomes a minefield of sabotage, betrayal—and forbidden passion.
But when danger catches up to them, can Cannon trust the secretive man who holds
his heart—and his fate?

“Look, Blondie. I’m not asking you to bottom, just to navigate.”
“Jesus, Caspar. I’m not asking you to top me, just to talk.”
This is the relationship as a whole between our two ML, Caspar (Big Boy) and Nate (Blondie). They talk to each other like they talk to no one else; they have a dry, witty banter back and forth that will make you chuckle; they get on each other’s nerves like no other and they love each other fiercely.
Caspar Cannon is a Commander in the new world army that makes up the government in the world Warren has created. Sexual deviant behavior is forbidden and punishable by death, this most definitely includes homosexuality. Caspar has always known that “tits didn’t do it for him” but his safety net is his career in Alpha company, so he hides his secret well. Stolen moments in an underground club are his only outlet to his hidden desires, this is where he first see’s Blondie. Sexy and tall with blonde shoulder length hair and deep blue eyes, Blondie stirs something inside Caspar that he tries to keep hidden.
Nathaniel Rice is a technical genius, a company executive and the son of a very powerful person. When rebels breech Alpha, Caspar is charged with escorting Nate to safety, imagine his surprise when they meet and he comes face to face with the one man he wants more than anything, Blondie. Thrust together by circumstance, Caspar and Nate begin a dangerous affair that could cost them both their lives if discovered.
As the story progresses both men open up more to each other every day, begin to trust one another, and have a LOT of smoking hot sex in tents and against various trees as well as the hood of a truck! Nathaniel falls hard and quick, but Caspar is not so easily trusting. He fears that if he opens up and lets Nate in he’ll be hurt, or worse killed for his indiscretions. A group of rebels that call themselves the Freelanders offer protection and solace for the lovers on the run, and not only do they not care about their relationship, they welcome it.
Both men still hold on to a deep secret though, secrets that could destroy their yet still fragile relationship. And when a betrayal from someone they thought they could trust lands Nate back within his father’s grasp and Caspar in a cell, will their love survive the trial?
In His Command is a dark and sexy story with several twists and turns along the way. The dystopian world that Warren has created is eerily believable and strategically realistic. Caspar and Nate are protective, loyal and strong not only for each other, but for the people they call family and friends as well. Strong secondary characters round out the cast and provide a stellar story about a world that is based on homophobia and fear, and how two men that love each other change everything, including each other.
Romance, mystery, suspense and some oh my good god sex make this novel a must read for fans of the genre’s!

I’m the badass, sassafras author of Sugar Daddy and the Don’t
Tell series--a breakthrough trilogy that crosses traditional publishing
boundaries beginning with In His Command.
I live in gorgeous Charleston, South Carolina with my small
family, basking in the sunshine during the day, and adjourning to my woman cave
at night. A nocturnal creature, I stay up way too late talking to myself, my
characters, and anyone who will listen. I’m all about writing with heat, heart,
and a hint of the dark, and I don’t shy away from the impossible.
My work has been called “edgy”, “daring”, and “some of the sexiest
smut around”.
