May I suggest that perhaps we should find out what specifically someone means by "trashy" before jumping to conclusions about it? Someone who talks about "
clean romance" might simply mean there is sex in them, and I for one, have absolutely no objections to that.
I do object to romances that brag about being a "CLEAN romance" so I will not waste my time on any of them. I will instead take pride in enjoying what someone with a very different taste in books might refer to as "trashy romance". it's not my fault, or problem, that they don't know better.
EDIT:
I take everything back. I read the free Kindle sample of one of the books, and it is trashy. Or rather, it is trash. I think I read better writing in my 9th grade poetry class.
