I like looking through the general section more than the romance. I also like looking at the biographies and always take a peek at the sale books. But I prefer to go to the library, it's cheaper!I also had the Harlequin preconception, probably because my mum likes to read the highlander type books, you know Highland Warrior, Highlander Scorned that type of thing.

i only recently started shopping in the romance department. i thought all romance was like Harlequin, and i had bought a few of those type a long time ago just to see what all the hype was about.i used to do some of my shopping in sci/fi – fantasy, but the majority was always in the general section, listed by author. I'd randomly skip through and buy authors that i'd heard of, great titles, mysterious covers, or just anything that caught my eye.now i find that i LOVE romance because it's so different and combines all the elements that i like.if i had to walk in to a book store, close my eyes, and randomly pick something off the shelf to read, i'd go right to the romance section.

Yea, I guess the lower region references might be a little…well not great for younger readers. Saying that I did read the first one at the tender age of 15. Wow I was young! I think it should be classed as Fantasy, but saying that if it were I never would have read it…

i agreebut if it's put in the romance section it deters the young readers from going there.i suppose it could be put in Fantasy. But given it's course language and references to the lower regions i believe that's why they put it in Romance.not saying it's right, just saying thats why i think it's classed there

the sex fae isn't that bad…I mean it is when you know that your mum has also read the book. But i didn't think it was too bad and one scene in an entire book does not make it a romance.

lol i had this conversation with someone in the community basically i think it's classified as a romance because of the "death by sex fae" – it gets quite graphicand things listed as romance always have some very steamy scenes, whether we like them or not

Yea he's awesome…although I'm finished the third book and there are still so many questions that need to be answered.Yea I don't know why this book is pegged as a romance because there's not too much in it.

i like Jericho a lot – he's definitely the supreme bad boy but it's weird because so far (only one book into the series), Mac doesn't have any sort of attraction for him and he's described several times as being her opposite
