No, but I've heard good things about them from other non-romance readers and I think I have the 1st one free from the original incarnation of Mills & Boon's Everyone's Reading site with the freebie e-book giveaways.

I'll see if I can find which hard drive I put it on. It does sound like it could be my sort of thing.

While I'm a primarily no-romo reader by preference, I'm think I'm generally fine with romance if it comes with another strong genre element. Usually mysteries and sometimes historicals and comedy work best* for me, I find.

It's just that stories where the couple getting together being the primary dominant plot don't do anything for me, unless it's something like Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, because of all the political intrigue surrounding and such.

If you need extra space in your Dropbox account and they still let you get a few bonus gigs for convincing new people to signup, I don't suppose you'd care to post or PM your referrer link for the service?

I'm embarrassed to say I still don't have one yet, and it would be nice if it would benefit a fellow MR member when I finally register.

* I will never again try touching sci-fi romance because apparently I'm too close to the source not to start screaming AIRLOCKS/SPACESHIPS/HYPOTHETICAL INTERSPECIES TRADE & POLITICS/BASIC BIOLOGICAL & ANATOMICAL COMPATIBILITY DO NOT WORK THAT WAY/You Fail Science Forever!!!!! when some of the more egregious Did Not Do The Research And Didn't Even Bother With A Simple Google/Wikipedia Search That Would Have Taken 5 Minutes Out Of Your Life Either comes up.

Just because it's science fiction doesn't mean you can make everything up. Especially not when it comes to the "science" part.
