Any other closet readers?
#5
I'd like to be a closet reader of romances, but I find very few that really appeal to me. I don't like chick lit and I'm just not into battles of the sexes or contemporary romances. Perhaps it's the romance novels I have chosen, but they are usually either 1) BADLY written; 2) have characters I can't relate to or 3) they are all about sex. I guess I like the old-fashioned boy gets girl, boy loses girl, boy finds girl again.

The closest I can get to a romance novel is the Gothic romance because of the mystery, suspense and supernatural elements. Sometimes I'm tempted by a paranormal romance, but they all seem the same (vampires, vampires, witch, werewolf, vampires, vampires, etc.) And, even though it's improving, there is still the unfortunate cover art on some romance books.
