There was a huge discussion/debate on this very topic on the Compuserve board last week. If you want to see Diana's take on it, I strongly encourage you to go to the link inside and read through the attached document. It was written a few years ago, but applies just as well to BOTB. It's long but definitely worth reading! -- LJG Discussion board

In reply to: MsNaugha 's message, "I'm a little puzzled by "things one doesn't expect to find in a romance novel." You think BOTB is a romance novel?" on 10:45:10 11/18/07 Sun

The link to the thread on Compuserve is here:

http://community.compuserve.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?tsn=1&nav=messages&webtag=ws-books&tid=57939

The document I was referring to is in an attachment on the first post in the thread.

If you want to see the thread that generated most of the discussion last week on Compuserve, it's titled "Raymond again". I won't link to it, but you should be able to find it easily if you go to the Compuserve board. Just be warned, it's VERY long....

Thank you Karen! You post the BEST links! Loved what herself said about "romance" readers reaction on picking up LJPM thinking herself has finally written a book short enough for them to wrap their heads around with the assumption they'd read it and find out what all the fuss around her books was about and the shock they got.
