When my sister and I worked at the hospital we used to buy them for 20cents each at the volunteers store once a week. Once we'd read them, we'd donate them back again, LOL.
I have authors I like and some I really don't. I hate the ones where the man is incredibly mean and the woman is incredibly stupid. (There are loads of these.) I tend not to finish those ones.
I like the romance, I like the impossibly 'intuitive' love-making (not just intercourse, filthy-minded girls!) - it is complete escapism for me.
TD, DH was the first guy I fell in love with, and we have been together since I was 18. I didn't have a serious relationship before him. So I find them interesting on a relationship level - particularly the relationships that are constant bickering until the inevitable mad pash, LOL!
Dach, do you really think they are lucrative? I would've thought they'd be a dime a dozen?
