Tacky Romances

Hello romance readers!

Throw at me your tackiest romances. A fave of yours! You know the kind with the woman swooning on the front cover and a Fabio wannabe holding her up from falling.

I thought this described all romance novels.

Years ago I liked Georgette Heyer, Barbera Cartland, Mary Burchell plus others pretty tame by todays standards in tackiness, but all the hormone storm inducing ingredients were still there. Georgette Heyer is still a great read for me occassionally even today.

I don't read a lot of chick lit today, but when I do I prefer kickass chiick lit such as Janet Evanovich or Lois Grieman. (sometimes I think Harlen Coben writes chic-lit)

I just am not into bodice rippers all that angst just makes me want to slap them silly and tell them to grow a pair. Yes I am female. Do not get me started on paranormal romances oh my gawd horrid stuff.

All romance is tacky if you aren't involved.
