Endings Make Me Sad

Curling up to really good romance is one of the best feelings. Getting lost in the story, loving (or loathing) the characters, and escaping into another world are things I anticipate when I reach for my Kindle. Book series and trilogies are at the top of my list of romances to read first; the story continues over several books and I get to savor the characters and their connections for a little longer. However, I know the story is going to end. It's sad, but true. The story always ends (happily of course), and I know there is another steamy love story waiting for me with baited breath. That still does not make me feel any better about saying goodbye.  I now realize why I love soap operas so much. . .even though the story lines are repeated over and over, they never end. Why can't romance novels be more like Days of Our Lives? Hey, I never said I was a purveyor of fine daytime TV.
