Just started reading ‘Dangerous Race’ as a break from all those science papers (*shudder*) and my rescue SCUBA diving training manual and absolutely love it! My poor little mostly-broke graduate student self would love book #2 as well 😛

There’s always some controversy over whether reading romance creates unrealistic expectations about relationships, but I think that’s a load of bollocks. I’m pretty sure most of us recognise that romantic relationships in romance novels are idealised… in the same way that, for example, reading a sci-fi / futuristic novel doesn’t result in me believing we’ll all teleporting to & fro in a couple of years. But I do find those idealised relationships (romantic or otherwise) in romance to be uplifting & inspiring, which in turn makes me look at my own relationships (again, romantic or otherwise) more positively. So more power to the HEAs! 🙂
