LOL! Oh, the tears. For those who have been following my social media blog regarding the Mercy Ravens MC Series, you’re probably familiar with the stories regarding my parents reading books 1 & 2 and the reactions they had to the books I write.
Well, book #3 did not disappoint in making my parents blush.
As I have done with the previous two books, I gave book #3 to my parents to read before hitting the publish button. Book #1 had my dad running from the room after page three—literally—and my mom Googling sexual terms she was unfamiliar with, as well as scheduling a piercing appointment for my dad. Book #2 had my mom asking me what a taint was in front of my twenty-year-old son, forcing me to explain what it was with my son there laughing hysterically. And book #3 had my mom all up in arms.
Here’s how the conversation went down.
Mom *calls on speakerphone*
Me: Hey mom. What’s up?
Mom: I finished your book.
Me: Cool. What did you think of it?
Mom: I liked it. Out of the three, this one is my favorite.
Me: Good. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Mom: Oh, yes. I enjoyed all of it except the one part.
Me: *frowns, uncertain* What part was that?
Mom: *huffs* You know which part, M.J.
Me: *smiles knowing exactly which scene she is referencing, but refusing to acknowledge it* I really have no clue which part you’re referring to.
Mom: Don’t make me say it.
Me: *bites back giggle* I’m sorry, mom. Unless you tell me EXACTLY which part upset you, I have no clue.
Mom: *sighs heavily before angrily responding* The anal sex scene!
Dad *screams in the background* I’m in the room!
Me: *starts laughing hysterically*
Mom: *ignores my dad* Seriously, you had to add that in the book?
Me *giggling* Yes. Yes, I did.
Mom: Why?
Me: Shock factor. *Duh*
Mom *I can hear her roll her eyes through the phone* How on earth do you know about that?
Me *grinning ear to ear* Are you sure you want to ask that question?
Dad *screams in the background again* NO! NO WE DON’T WANT TO KNOW.
Me: Really? You sure? It may be informative. I’m quite graphic when describing sexual positions.
Dad: *hear him running from the room and slamming door*
Mom: *tuts tongue at me before laughing* You’re horrible.
Me: I know. So do you want me to answer your question?
Mom: No.
Me: Oh, are you going to go Google it instead?
Mom: I’m hanging up now.
Me: Have fun Googling anal sex. Don’t forget to avoid clicking on the images.
Mom: Smartass. *hangs up on me*
And there you have it. Mom read book three and my dad knows way more about it than he cares to. Their search engine on their computer must be nearly as dirty as mine—okay, probably not anywhere near, but dirtier than it was before I started publishing steamy romances.
