Bare skin Quote by Annette Broadrick
““I've recently noticed how often I find my characters on a tropical beach during some part of many of my stories. There’s something very sensuous about the warm water, the sounds of the palm leaves rustling in the breeze, the lack of clothing and the heat of the sun against bare skin that's very appealing and definitely puts me in a mood to fantasize.””
