I have a theory that romance novels where the starstruck couple reach an intimate relationship by the halfway point are boring to finish for the reader.
It's the same with TV series. Once the sexual tension is resolved, viewers tend to drop off.
Is it better to keep the reader on edge waiting, waiting, waiting? Yes!

Description:
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Emma's New Year started with a kiss from a complete stranger at the stroke of midnight. With her fiancé of nearly four years on the other side of the room, Emma finds herself responding to the tall, sexy stranger in a way she's never experienced before and doesn’t want to end. Austin came to the New Year's party to investigate Emma's fiancé’s involvement in a car stealing operation and ended up kissing his prime suspect's fiancée and nearly losing the best chance he's ever had of bringing in the head of the car cloning ring that’s been using beautiful, young women as couriers to drive the stolen cars out of the U.S. into Canada.
It was only a New Year's kiss, but neither of them wanted the night to stop there. Six months later, Emma can’t believe the guy she kissed on New Year’s Eve is actually the one guy she can count on as her best friend after her fiancé steals all their savings to buy his uncle’s nearly bankrupt automobile empire and tosses their plans to elope to Vegas and spend the summer honeymooning and surfing in California out the window. Austin knows the beautiful surfer girl he can’t stop thinking about will hate him once she finds out he’s the guy who’s going to put her fiancé behind bars.
A Guy’s Best Friend takes you from zero to ninety and doesn’t stop. In just two minutes, Emma and Austin’s lives crash into each other at high speed and neither one is willing or able to resist yielding their friendship and chasing love.

is 40% done with The Lady Risks All: I'm about halfway through the book and the romance has become intense -- I have a theory that if a romance novel reaches an intimate level halfway through, the reader loses interest. What do you think?

This is one of my favourite genres: contemporary mystery thriller--with a romance thrown in for good measure. In the style of The DaVince Code. It's well written with an excellent plot that carries you along from beginning to end. I finished the b...

Going to see "One for the Money" at the theater later. I can't believe it's only getting 2 stars. I'm still excited to see how they filmed the Burg! Anyone see the movie? What did you think
Goodreads provides friend recommendations, so I always click "add friend." I love reading everyone's recommendations and comments on the books. Do you choose friends based on number of books in common or number of friends in common or just randomly? I want to see recommendations from people who have a LOT of books in common with me (shared interest) AND people who I don't have books in common with (something new!) How do you add friends?
Hello Shawna, it is a pleasure to meet you. If you ever have any questions about Harlequin or our books, please feel free to ask.Kim S, Harlequin Books ambassador
