Romance for me is between a man and a woman. I’m avoiding any book with relationships that are beyond the man/woman. Life is too short why waste time reading about those kind of relationships.

For me, I am not into m/f/m, m/m or f/f romance. I like my romances to be about one couple’s journey to falling in love.

Prettied up rape scenes are something I will NEVER do. Nope. Not ever. BDSM, yeah, but those weren’t violent per se.

Tigers are cool, but after watching that scene involving Siegfried and Roy and their white tiger…ummm…I’ll have to let other people write it. I do like clouded leopards, mountain lions and jaguars though (not the car…lol)

What about interracial? Not just black and white but Asian, Hispanic or the like?

I’ll never be able to joke about farming euphemisms again, not after skimming a few of my mom’s books. It’s like walking in on your parents, only uncooler.

See, it is for this reason that I held off on sharing the most disturbing romance killer I had unearthed. A Russian hairdresser was robbed only to turn the tables on the assailant. After tieing him up, she promised her scared patrons she would call the police, and closed shop. Then, she plied him with Viagra and… well, the rest is seriously unnerving. He ended up going to the police after she let him go and handed him the money he’d tried to steal. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/04/21/russia_robbery/ So you can be struck speechless like I was.

Hmm…Maybe I’m saved then, ’cause I saved $14.99 in not buying any of those books. For some weird reason they all come in trade paperback size, never smaller or ebook. It’s a conspiracy, sort of like the 700 Club.

I read all genres. I do not like the sex scenes to be violent. A writer can get his or her point across without the severe writing of the violence.

Personally, I am not into the Paranormal or the Menage books. It is a good thing that we can choose from so many different genres. You did ask what bothers us and this is my answer.
I want one partner, period. I don’t want my man to actually turn from animal to human or vice versa but like him to be a tiger, figuratively, in some instances. Thanks.
