When To Write A Sequel
When I decided to write a sequel to Her Five Favorite Words, I had one main concern–I needed to stay true to my characters. In the first story, Becca and Jordan were stuck in the right place, at the right time, with the right phobia. They were supposed to be a one-time elevator romp. But in the end, this cute couple had some unfinished business.
As a writer, I had to decide between letting my characters run free for another book or quitting while I was ahead. When is a sequel a good idea and when is it just too much? In the case of Becca and Jordan, I know I made the right decision.
I didn’t want to put Becca and Jordan into a frivolous sexual situation nor did I want to compromise the light-hearted ending of the first story. With my idea in hand, I set out to write His Five Favorite Lines, a sequel that needed to have the same feel as the first story but also revealed a little more of the emotional make-up of the characters.
I’m a big fan of books that tell the story from both the hero and the heroine’s point of view. So this time, we get to hear Jordan’s side of the story. Readers can finally learn about what was going on in his mind during their elevator encounter and his progression to a man who realizes the girl from the coffee shop might be a little more than just a piece of ass.
His Five Favorite Lines demonstrates the same sexual chemistry, the same quit-witted banter and of course, a week-long build up to some super-hot office sex. This time around, Becca and Jordan still haven’t quite found their happily ever after, but who’s to say there won’t be a sequel to the sequel.
Gina Gordon is an erotic romance writer living in Ontario, Canada. Her newest release, His Five Favorite Lines, is available now from Breathless Press. Find out more about Gina at www.ginagordon.net
A little cover love.
Her Five Favorite Words
Becca always starts her day sipping a latte and watching the piping hot Mr. Sexy. When they get stuck together in an elevator, it only takes a minute for Becca’s panic attack to take over. What she needs is to focus on something else. Something hot. Something dirty. Good thing Mr. Sexy knows a thing or two about distraction.

I agree with Becca, pick up lines are cheesy…… but as I live in Wisconsin, cheese is not a bad thing….

Seems like a good decision to do a sequel, because the characters will be more memorable to the readers when it's not just a sexual encounter. Looks like a good read!

This is totally new to me and it has my attention! I'd love a chance to win and to make this part of my library!
I don't think it's the lines so much as the person delivering them. If they're sexy and have a confidence about them it can say more than the words coming out of their mouths lol
