What makes a romance for me, I think, is when the dude respects the girl and just doesn't expect her to walk around panting like a puppy at his heels. That drives me NUTS. People (guy or girl) should be respected.

Every one. I tend to lean towards the good guys, but there have definitely been some bad boys that stole my heart. The thing about those guys, though, was that they were genuinely amazing people with bad boy exteriors. Anyway, I married the bad boy on the outside, biggest teddy bear ever on the inside Harley man and I have never loved and been loved like this before and there isn't a romance in a book out there that touches it. But there are still some pretty swoony romances!Jaime Lesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11102596597333629396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-78678248993698752082014-02-12T23:58:16.056-06:002014-02-12T23:58:16.056-06:00I was glad to see you both vote for the nice guy. ...I was glad to see you both vote for the nice guy. I married one of those too. When I read, I'm open to all types of heroes whether it is reformed bad guys/gals, confident alphas, diffident beta heroes and heroines and I enjoy friend to lover, reunion, love at first sight, enemies to lovers, and combos of these. I still don't like love triangles. I love all settings, but horrors for a romance too. I'm just easy to please as long as there is a bit of romance.<br /><br />That was a great video. Nice work, April.

It's like ...Oh my lord this video is AWESOME!!! It's like taking a swoony trip down book memory lane. Glad to hear I'm not the only one who still swoons over characters even if there is no romance (like Victor). "As long as I can find a romance at least somewhat believable and the insta-love/lust is kept to a minimum, I'm on board." YES, this is pretty much my outlook on book romance. I can get pretty invested in any romance as long as it doesn't abuse my goodwill as a reader.

Heck, I'm happily...I agree about those accents. Heck, I'm happily married but when I hear one particularly delightful it makes me a bit weak in the knees. To which my husband always just rolls his eyes. I'm not really a romance kind of gal in books. I don't seek them out but I don't particularly mind when books contain one as long as it isn't the sole focus of the book. I like realistic pairings, I need spark of some sort. I don't really like the bad boy being converted by the good girl type those get old so fast. If he has a bit of a naughty side though I don't mind.
