It's not necessarily real life. Leaving a romance die out gives readers and writers to learn to deal with grief. Certainly not always fun, but a little more realistic. Otherwise there's no surprise ending. I guess I'd be a rebel romance novel writer!!!Lindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2380441245670839923.post-34203086382929674952009-06-22T19:32:48.428-04:002009-06-22T19:32:48.428-04:00I agree with Edna.

I always pick on her to switch over, but no such luck quite yet...<br />HannahProject Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01996866245417584719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2380441245670839923.post-88148749636268666102009-06-22T18:49:48.948-04:002009-06-22T18:49:48.948-04:00I feel like the best romance novel is the Christia...I feel like the best romance novel is the Christian ones, not like the xrated ones I used to read. I like the romance to leave a little to the imagination but let it always come out with a happy ending, even the mystery ones can end happy.<br /><br />mamat2730(at)charter(dot)netEdnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04132658803192802735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2380441245670839923.post-31091857889495158072009-06-22T18:41:12.220-04:002009-06-22T18:41:12.220-04:00A romance novel is a story about how a woman and m...A romance novel is a story about how a woman and man meet and fall in love. It is about their relationship - pit falls and things that bring them to the point they realize they love each other. I love historical, inspirational, contemporary and any that don't go into the complete sex scene. Love is a special thing and it is way more than sex. My husband and I will celebrate 30 years of marriage tomorrow and I will always remember how we met.<br />jrs362(at)hotmail(dot)comsquiresjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14116632619184218017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2380441245670839923.post-40012577281731541972009-06-22T17:53:22.120-04:002009-06-22T17:53:22.120-04:00What a fun piece!

In 1901Frank Norris said romance was what cut to the heart of things . . . and I believe that's still true. That's why it captivates us, in all its forms.Ryleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13032086595558040570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2380441245670839923.post-17726638271513711812009-06-22T17:44:24.552-04:002009-06-22T17:44:24.552-04:00I'm laughing because in my college classes I&#...I'm laughing because in my college classes I'm forever telling my students that Wikipedia is not a source they can use, yet the definition you provided from them is actually the best.Pamela Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834270662017246137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2380441245670839923.post-35337919852245091212009-06-22T17:11:18.387-04:002009-06-22T17:11:18.387-04:00Great article, Lynette.
