Romance writers and readers have one thing in common: We love men.
It's true that romance novels do detail the courtship phase of a relationship. We usually write 'And they lived happily ever after' before our heroine starts snoring or our hero starts tossing his socks over the hamper.
I've always said men should study romance novels to find out how women think and what they want, both during the courtship phase and in a lifelong partner.
Even the geekiest of guys could get the girl if he read every romance novel that came out in any given month.
Elizabeth Taylor was an incurable romantic at heart. She never gave up on the notion that a love strong enough to last a lifetime was waiting for her around the next corner.
