The story revolves around Jasmine Sinclair a successful New York reporter. She finds herself in the middle of a major scandal (the Olivia Pope kind) she's relentlessly pursued by the press and flees the country with her political father.
While visiting Seoul, she's completely intoxicated by her surroundings. Jasmine dares to approach a mysterious and handsome stranger. The encounter leads to an unforgettable, passion filled weekend, but she soon realizes that nothing will quell her yearning to be with the man she loves. Will distance, ambitions and family ties keep them apart or will they find each other again?"

Emmy winning reporter Annette Lawless calls My Heart In Seoul "a great find."




Passage:
"He stared in her eyes for a moment, and then he leaned over and kissed her. As their lips touched, he could feel the sobs in her throat vibrate through him. He felt her tremble when he pulled her closer to him. Her perfume smelled sweet, a delicate fragrance, that reminded him of lying in dew covered grass on a warm summer's night."

Romance Isn't What You Think

Romance really might not be what you think it is.  It can be very different from person to person and we are willing to bet that most people don't look at it the same way it is defined in the Webster's dictionary.

Here are some key points of today's episode:

1. The definition of "romance" may surprise you.
2. Romance is for BOTH of you.
3. Forget the chocolates, jewelry, and flowers…

Happy Romantic Holidays,

Online Dating Across the Globe -- Some Say Santa Even Did It

We recently heard that Santa claims he met Mrs. Clause through Internet dating.

He just hopped into his sleigh, sped into the future, opened his laptop, made a romantic wish list and ta da! He found the perfect happy, cookie baking, beautiful, full-figured woman for him.

Um, maybe that isn't what you are looking for in your love life?  Maybe you would love to find a sexy "pirate" - after all you seriously drooled over Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean (oh, sorry…your fantasy honey isn't a guy?? - then you were probably drooling over Keira Knightly in that movie.  

Hey!  That isn't Johnny Depp!

Here ya go…

Anyhow…have you thought about online dating?  That is actually how we (Rob & Janelle) met.

Yep - it is true!  Over 12 years ago, we met via a dating site.  Wow!  Married for 11 years :) 

But, what about finding someone really different and unique from you…you know, like Santa or Jack Sparrow.  In all honesty, have you ever considered dating someone outside your own country?

Well, guess what?  There is an international online dating site.  

This is very intriguing.  We recently talked about dating online recently on our podcast 

- listen to that episode below.  We admit, though, that we missed the international dating possibility…

In this day and age of global interconnectness, it makes sense that one looks over the border for dating as well. Taste comes in all forms and sizes. The stigma of international dating (http://www.interdatingsites.com) has come off in the last years, and these days it is perfectly normal to date eligible single men and women from other countries.

Stay Connected To Loved Ones w/an App!

Holy Cow!  Did you know…..???

Well, are you really surprised…it has happened.  There is an app that you can download for FREE that will alert you when your "favorite" people are on Facebook.  Isn't it amazing how things have changed in just the past few years?  Being able to connect and/or stay connected with those we love (lovers, children, parents, siblings, extended family, friends, etc.) has been getting easier and easier.  And, if have wished oh so many times that you knew when your best friend or your sweetie was online - right then (or when they are often), well, now you can have an app tell you!  You need to check this out!

Just a handful of years ago none of us even had cell phones - there was no such thing as social media.  In fact, few people had computers in their schools let alone their homes.  And, yet today the vast majority of us carry our "computers" around with us wherever we go.

There is a lot of talk about how people are losing the ability to communicate because they only text or use Facebook, but on the other hand - if it wasn't for Facebook millions of people would not be connected at all to a ton of their friends, family, old schoolmates, business partners, old-coworkers, etc. We agree that you need to be sensible and remember to communicate with those you have the opportunity to see face-to-face or even with an actual phone call, but if you know when to catch them online - on Facebook - you may have a lot easier time getting them to "chat" with you there and then figure out a time when you can actually talk or see each other in person!  Yay!

Nature Lovers! Share Your Love In Unique Way

Recently Rob and I drove from Colorado to Montana (to the west side of Glacier National Park...almost to Canada) so I could perform the wedding ceremony for two of my dearest friends.  

They are huge nature lovers!  Therefore, I thought I would share this Intimate Adventure that I wrote a couple of years back in honor of them and their love (for each other and for nature). 

Intimate Adventures are sacred ceremonies for couples. They take ordinary life and make them special. Allowing both partners to enjoy the connection they share. With the vision of creating a warm and wonderful spot of couples to journey together Intimate Adventures offers these suggestions of ceremonies for the two of you to enjoy.

Nature Lovers is a way to bring the beauty and power of nature into your relationship. With each falling leave we learn,

 with each rock we find adventure. Our relationship is nature so why do we not invite nature into our relationship. 

Check it out here... Amazon, iTunes, Barnes and Noble

Can You Really Stay Close For Years and Years?

We believe that couples can stay close - emotionally, romantically, and physically throughout their relationship.  It doesn't matter how long they are together.  *Now mind you, we realize that there are simply times that people grow apart no matter how much they try to grow together.  Or they really weren't meant to be together to begin with.  In those situations, there is nothing wrong with moving on. But, for those couples who simply drift apart without conscious thought or they fall into a rut of the relationship just being "good enough" we want them to know that they can have a deeply connected relationship.  They can be best friends and amazing lovers.

By sharing amazing tips, advice, guidance and creating sexy, sensual and sacred scenarios for couples we open a door for couples to step through and find ways to keep the spark alive.

And, we just so happen to do this through our daily blog and over 80 ebooks - Sexy Challenges and Intimate Adventures and more via Amazon, iTunes, and Barnes and Noble.  And, of course, through our podcast, Sexy Challenge Heartbeats.  Wanna pick some up or subscribe to the podcast for free?  What are you waiting for?

Keeping it sacred and sexy,
Janelle and Rob

Do You Think Love Stinks?

Well, geesh, Granny!

Did life make you angry or break you heart? 

Okay...so, earlier this week we shared a couple of lines from Kelly Clarkson's Tie It Up.  Why not share an opposite view... Love Stinks by J. Geils Band?  Granny sure seems to think love stinks.

You love her 

But she loves him

And he loves somebody else

You just can't win 

And so it goes

Till the day you die

This thing they call love 

It's gonna make you cry 

I've had the blues 

The reds and the pinks 

One thing for sure 

Love Stinks!

-J.Geils Band

Tie It Up

"I love the ring of your name

You're the ying to my yang

Oh baby let's give it a shot

Every wall needs a frame

Every ball needs a chain

I'm talkin' about tying the knot

Tie it up"
