I read my first romance novel. And I *sniff* cried.

1/26/2011

 
I'll admit a bit sheepishly that I've never read a romance novel before.  Okay, so I'm not sure this one would actually qualify as a typical romance, there were no sweaty hot bods or tingling make out scenes; it was from a series called "Love Inspired" from a Christian publisher.  It's been out a few years now and how I came across it was that my grandmother read it, liked it, and gave it to me to read.  It's been sitting on my shelf forgotten for awhile until I came across it packing up some things for an upcoming move.  Since I'd just finished reading a Sue Grafton, I decided to set in on it.  It's entitled "Rainbow's End" by Irene Hannon.

I've noticed that the older I get, the less selective I am about what I read.  Nowadays, I'm reading anything and everything.  I'll give it all a shot, knowing that if it doesn't hold my interest, I can always move to something else.  I've discovered that I like a lot more of a variety of subjects than I used to because of this.  And I was surprised that a clean romance like this actually held my interest (not that a dirty one would be grounds to hold my interest; okay, that all just came out wrong.  You know what I mean, right?).  Despite some minor structure and grammar errors throughout the book, the story was well crafted and the characters were fantastic.  There were parts that even provoked an emotional response out of me (the formal term for "I cried.") and that's hard to do with a book.  The last time I cried reading a book was when I read the end of "Odd Thomas" by Dean Koontz when I realized Odd's girlfriend has been killed.  That was years ago. 

Look it up.  You never know.  You might like this clean romance, too.
