I think they make great heroes - there's generally a real character arc in them deserving their happy ending, isn't there? Love Susan Elizabeth Phillips's stories about the footballers! Hey, check out the Long Shot and let me know what you think. I loved it.

Now, could you please tell us a little more about this SuperRomance format?<br />The Jeannie Lin books sound quite a bit more to my taste.fsbuchlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14928364594015643639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-91628147121232602162012-09-24T16:17:49.797-04:002012-09-24T16:17:49.797-04:00Na, I think there's something really profound ...Na, I think there's something really profound about that return home.

Both write stories that are character driven, often part of a series set within a family (or among a group of friends) and rich with emotion. I highly recommend them. pjpuppymomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18234101901405553621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-24768207399768612382012-09-24T12:01:57.236-04:002012-09-24T12:01:57.236-04:00Hey, Molly, fabulous to see you here.
