What things do romance readers want to read about? “I read all of Beverley's Malloren family series last year, and they're all pretty good. Definitely above most romance novels. Actually this entry is making me want to reread the first book, and I never really reread romances.” http://dangermousie.livejournal.com/1558643.html http://dangermousie.livejournal.com/1558643.html Call me crazy, but the idea of the hero in women's clothing and makeup was a total turnoff. And the fact that he appeared to enjoy it so much only worsened it for me. Add that to the author describing him as femininely beautiful and I had a nasty picture in my head that I couldn't get rid of. http://dangermousie.livejournal.com/1558643.html http://dangermousie.livejournal.com/1558643.html
