Interesting that you didn't read a romance until you were 30; I did that also, and then I was hooked and realized what so many of my mainstream books were missing. The feeling and the emotion. <br /><br />As for what I like best in a Harlequin Intrigue. I love undercover ops. Always. The h/h on the run ...

The idea of a man risking everything - including his life - for the woman he loves is pretty compelling.<br /><br />Heather - Sounds like we started our romance reading experience the same way.

The opening VO gets me every time:<br /><br />“Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.”G.

I love that scene in ROMANCING THE STONE where her editor accuses her of being a hopeless romantic and Joan Wilder corrects her with "hopeful."<br /><br />Keep the book moving at a pretty good pace and I don't mind WHAT the hook is. But I'm a pushover for reunited love stories. I always want to believe the best, that we do silly things in our youth, but can change and ... Well, that's the story...right?<br /><br />:-)<br />~~AngiAngi Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17568009648101184027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-66212759002405139932011-01-19T09:59:14.065-05:002011-01-19T09:59:14.065-05:00Welcome HelenKay!

And I do remember that a Julie Garwood was one of the first romances I read, though I can't remember which one now as one I discovered her, I devoured every book of hers I could find in rapid succession :)<br /><br />I think it's fabulous that you've gone from divorce attorney to romance novelist, and I love your idea that hope is the reason. Thank you for sharing such a lovely idea.<br /><br />Have a great day!Heather Snowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00711640649711338968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-18037433005043609842011-01-19T07:37:00.727-05:002011-01-19T07:37:00.727-05:00I'm pretty old fashioned, and in this day of &...I'm pretty old fashioned, and in this day of "doing it all", I really love suspense romances where the man puts everything on the line to save his true love. I'm a big fan of fairy tales! The secret agent hook totally works for me, as I grew going to every James Bond movie with my dad.<br /><br />I'm really impressed with suspense novels because of how intricate and subtle many of the story lines and mystery cues are. I love being surprised by the ending.Gillian Laynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15772849187702478349noreply@blogger.com
