Yes, I read enough non-fiction for work and feel like my brain always has to be "on" that it's a nice escape. Unlike many books and real life, I love a warm, fuzzy happy ending that I can count on (not THAT kind of happy ending )
My mom started passing on her tamer Harlequin books to me when I was a teenager, then we'd have mini book club meetings about them- it was a great bonding thing, she gets so much credit for my love of reading as a teen and adult!

@lizzywiz: oh my, the murder suspect just kissed the female detective during her interrogation!!
Is this sort of thing common in romance novels?

@lizzywiz: Just finished Naked in Death. Enjoyed the detective part of it, but found the romance part to be a bit over the top for me! Thanks for the recommendation!!

@mrbee: yes, there is definitely more gratuitous (and occasionally unethical) PDA in romance books! The attraction between the hero and heroine is just too much for them to resist, you know?
I think it is awesome you tried out the genre! Not many people (including myself) are willing to tear themselves away from what the already know and love.

@mrbee: I somehow just stumbled upon this-kudos to you, sir! My DH wouldn't ever read a romance novel!!
