In both your posts and your writing style you've made it clear you like "dark romance" and that one of your favorite tropes is "villain gets the girl". Okay, so...what for you constitutes a 'dark romance'? And for bonus points, what makes a male lead a 'villain' who ought to 'get the girl'? Surely all villainous men aren't created equal...

I'll just go ahead and quote Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart for this one:
"I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description ["dark romance"], and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it..."

(contd...) I'm also looking at Janet Dailey's Night Way as a candidate for the first modern Native American romance; it looks like it was published by Pocket Books in 1980. Are you familiar with that one, as well? (I've ordered both books but have yet to read them). Sorry to throw this at you, just that your comment on Taylors book suggested we may share an interest in this. Thanks again! Johanna
