hi susan - this isn't really a question - i just felt the need to say "ditto & hallelujah" to kristin's post! i'm glad i'm not the only one to be disappointed in the "new age" of romance. i have every one of your books, and occasionally will venture out into the new world of the genre, only to come scurrying back to yours - the best of the best! please, never give up writing. what would we do without the snark?
