Oh My! What do WE Think about Younger Men with MIssy Martine

Older Women with Younger Men
Would You?

I’ve been asked a lot lately about why I chose to make the heroine of my newest book an older woman.  And even more shocking, she’s an older woman in love with sexy, twin brothers!  How scandalous!
But is it really that shocking?  I like to think not, but I’m especially prejudice since I’m married to a younger man.  Unconsciously, honestly, I seemed to have based my heroine in “Table for Three” on myself.  I spent twenty years in an unhappy marriage, although not physically abusive like Cass, until I finally had the courage to go out on my own.  I’d barely signed my signature to an apartment lease when I met my future husband online in a chat room
Did I consciously go looking for someone much younger?  Absolutely not!  To be truthful, I had resigned myself to a life alone before I broke the ties of my first marriage.  After that many years I think you’re conditioned to think that the chance for love has passed you by, and I was no different.  I was determined to be content just living alone and having close friends.

Then I met Nigel and he literally swept me off my feet.  That man made me realize that I’d never had true love, or known what romance was all about.  He didn’t care that I was older, and when I was with him, I didn’t care either.
What draws women to younger men?  I wish I had a firm answer for that question, but I’m sorry to say I don’t.  I was drawn to the idea that this sexy, younger man wanted me and only me.  He literally bombarded me with romance that included flowers, letters, emails, and romantic weekends together in different cities.  I dare any woman not to surrender to that kind of intense pursuit.
I asked my man why he thought so many men were attracted to older women.  He told me that it was mainly because men develop sexually earlier than women, and most men wanted a woman who had an equal sex drive.  Okay, so he’s not always romantic, sometimes he just a man!  I think, for me, it was the lure of almost living my life over in the eyes of someone who really loved me.  Everything with him has been like a new experience and it’s something I would never give up.  Of course, if I’m honest, he’s right.  The sex is a major plus in finding yourself a younger man!
As for making the men of my book sexy, younger twins, I have to admit that’s a fantasy of mine.  I think every woman, at one time or another, has a secret desire to know what it would be like to have two men make love to her.  I took it one step further, and made the men identical twins.  Can you imagine two sexy men, identical in looks, surrounding you with their heat?  The same body build, the same feel to their hands and mouth, the same scents, and a lot of the time the same thoughts and ideas.  You wouldn’t know where one began and the other ended.  It’s a nice fantasy, but I’m not sure anybody is ready for that in real life.
Thanks for listening to my ideas on older women and younger men.  Pick up a copy of my book “Table for Three” and see what you think of their love.  You can find details at my website:  www.missymartine.com.

In the Backseat with Erotic Author Missy Martine

 Terry Kate: I would like to welcome a lovely lady Missy Martine to the Backseat whose name has one of my favorite things - alliteration - now you tell me Missy - is that your real name?
 
Missy Martine: No, that's a name my husband dreamed up when I started writing. It's actually a take-off on my married and maiden names.

TK: Ah fun to get some input - it is a neat thing about being an author, you often get to pick your own name!

MM: Yes, it's even better if you begin to write in different genre, because you're free to pick several different names to go with your different artistic talents. It's something I'm thinking of doing since I'm working on a thriller novel that probably won't appeal to romance readers.

TK: So you write the Hot, Hot, Hot, stuff, was that your intention when you started writing, or did it just come out?

MM: It was pretty much my intention. I'd been reading really erotic romance novels for years. I'd always enjoyed the effect they had on me. My husband once told me that he could always tell when I read a new one because the romance in our life picked up, and I was always in a happier mood. I found that they helped feed my fantasy life which in turned, helped improve my romantic life. It was my hope, that my books would fuel other people's fantasies and desires.

TK: So tell us a little about this tale?

MM: "Table for Three" is about a woman who spent twenty years married to an abusive man. She'd never had the courage to leave him. Then, something fateful happened which gave her the chance to escape and make a life for herself. She inherits a house and small inheritance from an uncle she never knew, and promptly heads off to Oregon to claim it. She figures it's a chance for her to start her life over. What she doesn't expect is another chance at love. She meets the twin brothers that own the local hardware store and can't believe these two sexy men are staking a claim on her. At the same time, she is fighting to hold onto her inheritance, not realizing that her uncle's lawyer is crooked, and wanting the inheritance himself. She has to decide if she's willing to give her heart to the two men, no matter what society says about their relationship.

TK: Twins?

MM: Yes, sexy, hot, identical twin men....yum...at least it's one of my fantasies!

TK: That is a little different from some of the other menages on the market.

MM: In some ways I think it's considered even more taboo than just a menage. Don't get me wrong, the twins don't have anything to do with each other, their romantic focus is entirely on the heroine of the book. From the feedback I've received, a lot of people are turned on by the thought of the identical twins. Just imagine, having just a little bit of difficulty telling them apart, not sure who's doing what at any given time. It just fuels the imagination to imagine being surrounded by all that testosterone!

TK: Is it hard for your heroine to come to grips with a situation so outside the "norm"?

MM: It's very hard for her. She spent twenty years with a man who verbally, emotionally and physically abused her. She had never known what true love was. She knows that they make her feel things that she's never felt before, but at the same time she's getting the feeling that she will never be accepted in this small town if she does something so far out of the norm. True love can be a wonderful feeling, but few people could stand day to day life if they were constantly worried about what others around them were saying about their lifestyle. Cass not only has to accept their love, but she has to accept that it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks in order for them to be happy together.

TK: So if they look alike does that mean they are as different as day and night?

MM: Yes, the men have very different personalities. One of them is very secure in what he thinks and what he wants, while the other is more cautious, more hesitant to bring a woman into a menage relationship. They've both been married and divorced, but had very different reasons for their marriages failing. One is very forceful in his lovemaking, while the other is more gentle and romantic. It's like having the best of both worlds. Like a lot of identical twins, they've always had a type of psychic bond that allowed them to feel what the other was feeling. This bond is what drives them back together in an effort to find one woman who will love them both. Once she starts falling for them, Cass has no problems telling them apart.

TK: Woowoo!  I must say that sounds like something that would raise any ladies temperature!

MM: That was what I was hoping for :)

TK: When can we get our hands on it!

MM: You can get your hands on it today at Siren/Bookstrand. You can go to my website, www.missymartine.com and there's a link that will take you right to it.

TK: Thanks so much for hopping into the Backseat even if you did not bring any hunky twin eye candy.

MM: Well thanks for having me Terry. I've enjoyed talking with you, and telling you all about my new release.
