Which are basically the same story format over and over and over ....
boy meets girl
boy loses girl
boy gets girl again after a series of comedic mishaps
everyone lives happily ever after
All I remember about those few romance novels I read is that the heroine always has good taste in clothing and furniture (even though she is poor), usually prefers subtle colors like gray over gaudy things and colors and can always pick out a good Aubusson carpet.
I had no idea what an Aubusson carpet was when I was that age, but there were always one or two mentioned in those books ... and the heroine could always pick 'em.
I remember lots of references to "heaving breasts" .... but then "heaving" to me was throwing up, so got a few mixed signals about what the women were really doing, unless they really were throwing up.
