I like the adventure and a bit of angst but also, the hero being human and the heroine not being whiny…

PS LOVED Matt and Amy…it really took me by surprise…I really liked how human Amy was. Her background, so great!
Thanks again

PS Just ordered Forever and A day…

Congratulations!!

Romance contains a hero who the heroine is attracted to and likewise the hero is attracted to the heroine. There is wooing & good times. Sex can wait until the HEA has happened.

Over the last couple of weeks I have read two women’s fiction books. Even though the endings were good, they were not the ultimate ending I would’ve liked to see. So, I devoured Lucky in Love, and now I’m half way through At Last. I know you always make me laugh, and sometimes cry, but every book I read by you leaves me feeling…happy. (And unputdownable is quite possibly the most accurate word!) I’d say your concoction is pretty much perfect. Congrats on Cosmo! You just continue to rock!

Audri, Robyn Carr’s Virgin River series has a hero and a secondary love story with amputee’s.

I agree with good solid awesome heroes and strong heroines. I like some flaws thrown in for good measure. (not being perfect, it gets kinda boring to read about perfect people)

Good chemistry but the sex isn’t necessary if the love story is strong. Don’t mind it, but not a deal breaker.

I’ve noticed a small trend lately where some romances don’t have an HEA and for me, that’s not a romance. So glad you have a formula, because you write some of the best romances I’ve read. I adored Lucky in Love and can’t wait to read At Last.

@Audri – I was going to post the same information on Amber. Shoulda Been a Cowboy is a great story about Cam and Domini.

The requirements for romance in a book are all here. Each of us might have a slightly different expectation but we all want HEA. The connection & chemistry between H/h is very important, there must be a story for them. I like some suspense & adventure along with the romance. Your books always fulfill my reading fantasies.

Audri, I have read books that do have disabled hero, not many but a few. They are usually a military romance. Congratulations to you & your husband on being together through the good & the bad. I wish you continued happiness.

@Audri,

There are romances out there with heroes coping with disabilities. Lorelei James even has an erotic western one. A good place to start would be here: http://www.likesbooks.com/disabled.html

Jill, your recipe sounds perfect. I admit, for a book to be a romance rather than just romantic, it has to have a HEA in book 1. Not a 3 book arc. I don’t care how much you put the characters through, as long as I believe in their romance and their future.
