That's where--to me--SFR can be so much fun because the very alien-ness of an alien can remove the 'beauty' aspect from the romance equation. Or at least, make the reader reconsider the true definition of true beauty.<BR/><BR/>It's a shame--to me--that the naysayer who wrote the anti-romance genre article didn't "get it". ~LinneaLinnea Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633057411107208569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26974492.post-1155620258116593452006-08-15T01:37:00.000-04:002006-08-15T01:37:00.000-04:00Oooh, neat post. I think that's it exactly. Chemis...Oooh, neat post. <BR/><BR/>I think that's it exactly. Chemistry is more than just her heavy breasts and supple thighs, more than his bulging muscles that gleamed like oiled snakes (yes, I really read that in a book recently). I was like, WTF? Of course the heroine's breasts were also likened to two puppies squirming in a sack so... <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I digress. <BR/><BR/>Chemistry, more than the sum of one's parts, private or otherwise. It's a glance, a scent, a laugh, the way she tilts her chin, or the way he leans down a little to listen to her. It's the way he watches her leave a room. <BR/><BR/>None of that says either one of them is gorgeous. It just says they find each other all but irresistible. And that's the goal.Ann Aguirrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09076423626210129278noreply@blogger.com
