The action sequences are over the top--one man being able to do all that?  But they're fun, and guys read these for fun.

    <body><![CDATA[I've always laughed at romance novels, but I never imagined (naively) one would be written for a man. This is it. The male romance novel, personified. The story is ludicrous, the characters over the top, the sex sexy, the fighting fighty. If you're looking for something trashy to read, pick it up. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[After reading Ghost I wish I could give it a 2.5 star rating. Since that's impossible, I rounded up, giving the benefit of the doubt. The book shows promise, but has quite a few serious flaws. For the most part it reads like a series of character-building exercises; not character development, which ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64113261">more...</a>]]></body>
