Fountain Of Youth And Siblings
Spoiler Alert – This post will talk about Fountain Of Youth and it WILL contain spoilers. If you haven’t yet watched this sibling adventure movie, you might wish to skip this post.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I recently watched Fountain Of Youth, an Indiana Jones-like adventure movie featuring two siblings searching for that famed ‘miracle cure to aging’.
The siblings are MIDDLE AGED, which makes Fountain Of Youth fairly unique in the movie world.
It doesn’t make it unique in the romance novel world. (grins) We LOVE our grown siblings. The parents might often be dead but our heroes, for example, usually have gazillion of brothers all destined to find love.
Other than future story bait, siblings tend to serve another important purpose.
They show the main character can love another person and they can maintain a fairly health relationship over years.
This is a key revelation for reassuring us their new romantic relationship will last also. They will have their romantic happy ever after.
It is also fun. (grins) Siblings tend to tease even the most serious characters and they show a side of our heroes and heroines the love interest wouldn’t otherwise easily see.
Who are your favorite siblings in romances and in the movies?

Siblings In Romance – Alien Tryst
One of the challenges with writing erotic romance novellas and short stories is ensuring reading buddies know the hero and heroine (or more in the case of a ménage) will have a lasting happy ever after.
I believe that a hero or heroine who has a healthy relationship with friends or family members is more likely to have a healthy lasting relationship with his or her love interest. This is a reason why siblings can be very important in a romance.
In Alien Tryst, Eshe, the heroine, has a close relationship with her brother Raff. Raff is a military being, an alien warrior, so it isn’t surprising to me that Eshe’s mate is also a military being. She understands how military males think and act, what they believe in, what they expect from others.
Eshe has also learned, from her relationship with her devilish brother, that she can love someone and not agree with him all the time. Eshe and Raff argue about almost everything. They’re two very different people who happen to be related and love each other.
Eshe has learned how to fight without permanently hurting the other person. She knows what she can tease Raff about (his hair) and what he’s more sensitive about (his ability to protect others including herself).
Our intelligent heroine knows men aren’t perfect and she doesn’t expect perfection from Kane. He has faults (like not trusting easily) that she accepts and learns to work around.
Most important of all, in my opinion, she realizes that relationships are hard work. No relationship is easy peasy. I have an absolutely wonderful hubby who makes me laugh every single day but we work on our relationship constantly. Simply finding time to spend together can be a challenge.
Having a brother makes Eshe a better person and a better candidate for lasting love. Have your siblings taught you anything about relationships?
While investigating some mysterious disappearances, Kane uncovers two secrets that change his world. He’s not entirely human. He’s also dangerously close to death. His alien grandfather has broken a sacred rule, putting his entire bloodline, including Kane, at risk of termination.
Eshe, a sexy blonde scientist with lush lips and a hot body, is Kane’s only hope to save his family. He’ll do anything to keep her safe, including fighting alien warriors, crossing vast galaxies and giving his woman the pleasure she craves again and again, using every inch of his fit physique.
In this world, passion is power and love is necessary for survival.
