I like the real life, emotional tone of a lot of the stories. I mean, I love sheikhs and dukes and uber SAS agents like the next girl but sometimes, it's nice to touch base with a romance about someone you could actually imagine meeting (well, if you were lucky!

The release of the inner wild child is part of that heroine reaching her full potential and we all love to see that in a character. And I also think you're right about the core of emotional truth at the heart of all these stories.

She's one of her favorites. I've got one on the TBR pile (can't remember the title). Love the sound of the one you read! It's interesting - both Sarah and Kathleen O'Reilly also write Supers (Sarah more frequently than Kathleen). I think that's a sign of how emotionally based their Blazes are.

I finished <i>Tyler O'Neill's Redemption</i> by Molly O'Keefe (a SuperRomance rather than a Blaze) last night and am headed over to GoodReads today to post another five-star review for O'Keefe. Part of the appeal of the story is the good girl who becomes wild woman with the right hero, who in this case is sometimes far from heroic.<br /><br />It Jangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15128188159653860806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-73674780905422776232010-09-24T10:11:15.944-04:002010-09-24T10:11:15.944-04:00Snort, Trish!

There's a few scenes in romantic comedy films where the heroine has too much to drink and comes undone and I always cringe a bit.
