Kindle free book: Give Me Fever
It looked like it would take a miracle for sexy nature guide Jade Prince to notice quiet accountant Kaeden Strong. Then a camping vacation left them stranded together, sharing a sleeping bag and a wild encounter that burned up the cold night. When it comes to making heat, they're compatible in every way, except. . . He's a workaholic who's allergic to the outdoors. She's an adventuress with a vixen's body and a tomboy heart. He's wanted Jade from the moment he saw her, but so do a long line of men--including her business partner, Darren. On paper, Kaeden is all wrong for Jade--but can he prove he's right in all the ways that really matter? http://www.amazon.com/Give-Me-Fever-...=discounter-20

Information only:
This appears to be a fat Romance novel, for those who like this sort of thing. Don

Example: “Bob, I did not know you wore yellow suspenders,” Sally remarked. “Gee, Sally, those are not suspenders. I am wearing yellow underwear today,” Bob revealed. The dialogue above will help produce at least 100 more pages of dialogue. |

Quote:
"'Fat' appears to be anything over 300 kbs," he said with tongue-in-cheek.  Or: "This appears to be a big-bodied Romance novel," would be another way of saying the same thing, for the 'calorically' challenged. Seriously: Traditionally, the Romances of earlier years (and I'm thinking of Harlequin mostly) were about 40,000-50,000 words long, which was rather thin compared to most (not all) genres. Westerns are also typically thin novels. Historical fiction novels, on the other hand, were exceptionally large novels, most well over 100,000 words. Don

Well, I think you are comparing two different leagues: books and what we call in Spain "novelas de kiosko", with a fixed number of pages (harlequin fits there). I've got some old romance novels (old talking about eighty, not thirty of course) with more than 400 pages (I don't know the word count, but if you look for Kathleen Woddiwiss you can find it
 ).
