Which it is. I *like* soap opera plots on TV, but in my romance novels?

I actually didn't mind this story too much, but I can understand what you're saying about the inconsistencies. <br><br>I guess it's good to know Nora's improved in your eyes over the years lol.Aliehttp://ephramyfan.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-22970759072876050892007-11-09T08:11:00.000-08:002007-11-09T08:11:00.000-08:00Rosie: Yeah, the first story in this reprint defin...Rosie: Yeah, the first story in this reprint definitely had a "different time, different place" feel to it. If I had read it closer to it's original release date, or even back when I first started reading romance, it would have worked better for me. It was merely a story that didn't "stand the test of time" that well. <br><br>Now this second story? I now it's been 20+ years but I just have a hard time imagining this plot playing all that well back in 1983. I mean, she's letting the guy she thinks is having an affair with her mother (yes, her mother!) molest and ravage her. I just could not wrap my mind around that....Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-76315014858640578012007-11-09T00:25:00.000-08:002007-11-09T00:25:00.000-08:00Uh-oh...I read several of Nora's early categor...Uh-oh...I read several of Nora's early category romances closer to their release dates like late 80s and early 90s. I don't remember having quite the crisis you are having but different times and different place. Here's hoping the next one you pick is a winner.Rosiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15868327419940314643noreply@blogger.com
