message 506: by Gea (new)

Gea (gea89) | 412 comments I don't think I've ever read a book tagged "Christian Romance" and since Out of Control sounds good, can anyone tell me what can I expect from the book like this? What's the difference between Christian Romance and "normal" Contemporary Romance?


message 507: by Susan (susayq ~), Moderator (new)

Susan (susayq ~) (susayq) | 6062 comments Gea, I'd expect a "Christian Romance" to be a clean romance.


message 508: by Anna (new)

Anna Wadlow (awadlow42) | 226 comments Christian romance deals with inspirational issues and are 'clean' books. An example: in The calling of Emily Evans Emily has the calling to go to a new place and start up a church. She is faced with many differemt attitudes on the idea when she reaches her destination. I enjoyed that one. You get hand holding, kissing…etc…Hope this helped.


message 509: by Lina (new)

Lina | 5563 comments By clean, I take it you mean no sex? I'm asking because not all sex is dirty, especially in romance...


message 510: by Anna (new)

Anna Wadlow (awadlow42) | 226 comments By clean, I mean no explicit details… keep in mind that christian romance is a new genre for me and my statememt is what I have read so far.

Oh, I see, Anna. So more completely about the emotional development and spiritual aspect to the plot, not so much on the physical? I've not read one yet...


message 512: by Anna (new)

Anna Wadlow (awadlow42) | 226 comments Yes that's a better way to explain it


message 513: by Gea (new)

Gea (gea89) | 412 comments It doesn't sound like the genre for me, but I'll read the book if I can fit it in any challenge, just to give it a try

Does this book count for U? Caught Up in Us

Gisela (chicadorlando) | 4022 comments Yes, it does.

Shosho, somewhere in the threads, Lisa Kay has a list of the things she can't stand in romance novels, things that actually turn her off books. She named the list Romancelandia don'ts, or something similar...

HTH!
