    Do you read Mills & Boon? Why do you?

    I love M&B books. I can't put them down.I finish one, and bring out the next one. My hubby asked why i read them all the time? I reply " i read them because you ain't romantic enough and i want to know what romance can be like" My DH is and has been my one and only man in my life (I wasn't allowed to date, being a muslim). He isn't very romantic and i am. I get all excited when read about other people's romance life. It does annoy me that he ain't romantic and i wish he was.
    Just wanted to know why you read them?

    I don't read M&B books - but I am OBSESSED with Twilight for the same reason - the romance story.

    I have downloaded the movie and DH came home to find me watching it, whilst reading Eclipse at the same time. He said, and I quote, "You're either reading it or watching it. What is wrong with you?" I told him if he was anything like traditional, romantic, protective Edward I wouldn't need them!!!

    I have *never* read a M&B ...but having read some other light romancey type chick lit recently, I'm thinking I should, and then have a crack a writing one. LOL

    nothing like a good chick flick or lit!

    I'd love to write one day, but don't think i have the artistic flair.

    I don't read them, but my mum's an avid M&B fan. I've tried out a few and just found them a bit too soppy and flowery for my taste... I guess I'm just a cynical old woman who knows life isn't the fairytale M&B novels portray!! I mean, I never met a doctor in my life who was tall, dark AND handsome :P
    I love my trash-lit, but I like it a bit harder - Jackie Collins is great for that

    Well actually I have a good friend who fits this description, AND he cooks the most amazing gourmet dinners too. Hmmm, there's a M&B in me somewhere, I'm sure! LOL

    i dont anymore....but i used too...and i loved them. Maybe because they were so quick to finish, and im a rather impatient person, so felt satisfaction in fully reading a book.....in my early 20s when i did read them i guess i was looking for love and it was nice to be sucked into the romance thing.....

    I do occassionally (maybe a couple a year). I like them because they are quick to read and finish and you know exactly what you are getting yourself in for - you know they will get together in the end and sometimes it is nice to be sure of the ending!

    I like reading them because you don't have to think or analyze what you are reading.
