I know of some people who won't read HP because of the arrognat heroes.<BR/><BR/>Oh, the titles themselves cause a chuckle or two. The other day when I sent a review to our esteeemed senior editor, Jane, she emailed me back and said, "what?? He's only a millionaire?" :)<BR/><BR/>For me, it isn't the money the hero has, but the rich sense of humility inside.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01951302096900927727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35532892.post-87947372105523775702007-09-10T13:45:00.000-07:002007-09-10T13:45:00.000-07:00Well, because I really like the Presents line, I n...Well, because I really like the Presents line, I now know why I have found myself buying more Desire books.

(i hope i dont) i dont tend to buy many harlequins, especially the billionaire, millionaire types.. i have never had money, and hubby and i struggled flat broke for years.. barely able to make ends meet, so i guess i just find it hard to relate to them. I do love books about down to earth blue collars and cowboys..<BR/>im a cover person too, and to me when i look in the harlequin section, they all tend to blend together..<BR/>i have to search out authors that i know or am looking for...<BR/>i hope i didnt offend anyone... if i did im sorry...

I do miss the occasional down-home, blue collar guy (like Connor in SEVEN-YEAR SEDUCTION), but I suspect they'll come around again eventually. Or maybe I can just figure out a way to sneak one in. *g*<BR/><BR/>I am curious to hear what readers think of this shifting trend, tho! Let me know, will you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
