My Dirty Secret

So, this is it. My secret shame. I read romance novels. Wait, it gets worse...I only read serial romance...Yep...Harlequin type books. In fact, they are one of my favorites.
Allow me to clarify a few things. I know it is wrong. I don't buy them full price. I DO read other books. I don't use them as a bizarre and upsetting substitute for porn.
But the thing is...they are funny as hell. Some are well written and clever. Most aren't. And the ones that aren't...tend to be pretty spectacular. And I want to share them with you.
As one website my Beloved reads says, "I'll read them, so you don't have to..."
I will share fantastic plots, wonderful character names, truly outstanding "phraseology"...And no need to thank me...You are so very welcome.
All of these will be direct quotes, so please, cross your fingers I don't get sued.
Enjoy! Or at least, try not to firebomb me.
