I read romance

[reviews_and_ramblings]

I read romance since I was 12 years old. My first romance was Lady Chatterley's Lover: my mother didn't want to buy it for me, and finally I bought it with my own money. After I have read modern authors of romance, like Kathleen E. Woodiwiss, Catherine Coulter, Jayne Ann Krentz, Johanna Lindsey an so on. For twenty years I have preferred historical romance to contemporary romance, but I like also some contemporary authors like Linda Howard and Anne Stuart. Some months ago a friend of mine lent me Crossing the Line by Stephanie Vaughn: my only other M/M romance before that was Maurice, and I really didn't know that such genre exist. I liked it very much and after I bought about all the titles from Loose ID and Torquere Press, and also some from Changeling Press, Liquid Silver and Phaze. Why I like it so much I don't know. Some people think I'm lesbian: they tend to arrive to this conclusion because I'm not married, I never had a boy-friend and, when I go on holiday, I go with female friends. All these thing make me lesbian? I don't think so. I like men very much. I like them younger than me (I'm 32 years old and my latest crush was 26 years old), tall, lean and kind. Better if they have a function brain and are handsome. Do you know? I find that this description fit perfectly with a tipical gay: and I know that because two of my crush are gay men. After all, I find two best friends, but they are not what I was searching for. So why I like very much M/M romance? because in it I find not one, but two sexy men, only for me, without noisy heroine to part with.

I too started with the more "tame" romance novels in my early teens. Such books like Harlequin Presents. *grins* But over the years my taste in Romance has turned to the erotic. It started with m/f erotica, then to m/m/f, then to bi-m/m/f and now to m/m. Quite the journey. I just love man love!

MMM... young stuff! ;) And on that Lesbian thing? Some people shouldn't jump to conclusions and mind there own business. As long as you're comfortable with yourself and happy with your life... You're right, it's really like having two very sexy men with all the qualities you seek just for yourself. *sighs*
