And though some M&B are very alike (they all explore the same fantasy, after all), many are very different. It's generally best to go on recommendation rather than pick up random examples.<br /><br />It comes down to the same thing as any reading choice though: if you enjoy the type of novel, you'll enjoy them, but if you're always reading against the grain, because you're forcing yourself to, you probably won't. Reading is a personal choice, and everyone has their own tastes, none of which are right or wrong. It says a lot for you as a reader that you are willing to try different things.<br /><br />Enjoy your smut and I won't be bothered if you skip ahead in Featured Attraction just to read the (several) sex scenes...or if you put it down. Thanks for picking it up in the first place.<br /><br />Julie xJulie Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15548233186449498920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087410506784582775.post-72479555586919377632011-08-11T11:59:30.365+01:002011-08-11T11:59:30.365+01:00I'm so glad you've come to that conclusion...I'm so glad you've come to that conclusion. I keep telling myself it would be so much easier to write M&B than work on my 'proper' novels, but we all know that's not true. I write because I love writing and read for the same reason. So why change a good thing?<br /><br />MarilynMarilyn Chapmanhttp://guernseygirlie.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087410506784582775.post-25282668264612237822011-08-11T11:42:10.789+01:002011-08-11T11:42:10.789+01:00When I was 12-ish and working my way through our s...When I was 12-ish and working my way through our small local library, I remember reading perhaps three or four off the whole-shelf-full of Mills and Boons. Then I decided that they were all the same story but just with different names and jobs for the characters. <br /><br />Life's too short to read the same thing over and over again. Yes, it would be great to write and sell one but wouldn't you want to stray from the formular? Sure that wouldn't be allowed.<br /><br />Enjoy your 'proper sauce' ...<br /><br />SalSAL PAGEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371553966647935153noreply@blogger.com
