    Next hot thing (when you've finished with Twilight books)

    Apparently, after the huge success of the Twilight book, Amish romances are the next hot thing:

    They're no bodice rippers, but Amish romances are hot

    Kicking myself, I was standing in a 2nd hand bookstore with one of these in my hand the other day...didn't buy it (wasn't sure it was worth $8)...now I wish I had. LOL

    Anyone read any of these?

    Lol, sounds like the Christian romances I grew up with. So romantic, where the man has the woman's best interests at heart. Brilliant escapism, the men are mostly perfect, but I can't read them when I'm huffy with DH or I just get a bit 'why can't you be more like (search for cliche hero name) Brandon? HE'D have let me get those shoes'.

    They sound fun.

    How cool, I would love to read one of these. I've read Jodi Piccoult's Plain Truth, these sound like they'd be *kinda* the same sort of thing.

    I think I will have to hunt these down to read. Sounds interesting.

    Oorki - I knew about lesbian romance, but had never heard of amish romance.
