I’m blogging over at Access Romance today. Check it out.

Also check out Kerry Allen’s blog. I found it because she commented at Access Romance and, being nosy, I clicked on her link and read through her blog. Kerry is funny. Her insights and reader peeves give me a “I wish I said that” feeling. Here are some examples:

On the men in J.R. Ward’s Brotherhood series:

I do think the Brothers’ size issues are expounded upon to a grotesque degree, so much so that I ignore them completely. I was startled in Book 3 or 4 to read Rhage is the most physically imposing of the bunch. He’s my favorite, and while imagining him too pretty to look straight at without suffering retinal damage, I’m definitely not superimposing him on Andre the Giant. I have my own idea of tall, broad, and built to whoop evil ass, so don’t interrupt me with freakshow measurements, m’kay?

On bathtub sex in romance novels:

The heroine is soaking in a bubble bath, tub full of water and suds up to her neck. The hero joins her in the tub. The heroine chooses to welcome him with a bit of felatio.

Either she has gills and a fondness for the taste of soap, or he has a 24-inch periscope that rises above the water level.

On heroines with glasses:

Ah, the ever-popular heroine who is dumpy and frumpy until she takes off her glasses and suddenly becomes the uber-hot object of every male character’s lustful fantasies.

Those must be some DAMN ugly glasses to overshadow not only her “cover girl” facial features but also her “generous cleavage,” her ass that is so extensively lauded I can’t select a single quote, and her “long, shapely legs.”
