Title: Read Aloud for a Good Laugh
Review: My mom has been a fan of the romance genre for many years (Delinsky, Michaels, Adler, et al). Her eyesight failing, I went to the library to pick up some large print books for her, and this happened to be one I chose. She was still unable to read, so I offered to read to her. This stuff just can NOT be read aloud, and certainly not by a middle-aged man to his elderly mother. Whenever we got to one of the "steamy" parts, I'd get the giggles and be unable to continue. Mom had a pretty good chuckle herself. If this story (and its ilk) defines the sort of "romance" that women are looking for in their lives, well...I'm not sure what to say. I have to believe, though, that there must be better stuff available than this.
