(Seduction by Edward Claywright)
Romantic Fantasy

So I have decided that I love to read romance novels. My favorite author is Francis Ray. She is so good I have considered moving to New Mexico and Texas respectively. Her writing makes me think, "They makeum like that in (insert name of city in novel here)?" Romance novels are really a reflection of my inner soul, however I have realized that I need to STOP reading them. They are giving me false hope an expectations. Guys are not like that and neither are women. It does not work out in a neatly definted 200 pages give or take. However, just for a second allow me to image that it can really happen like that.

I would be busy working on something, and be an expert in that area. I would be lonely because the last relationship I had ended badly because I was either; cheated on, unfulfilled emotionally, unfulfilled sexually, unfulfilled emotionally and sexually, set on the back burner, used as a trophy, was not considered good enough or we just grew apart.
I would then have a chance meeting with a stranger in one of the following locations; some form of public transportation, a business gala, a business dinner, a business convention, while working for the person, because their dying uncle gave me thier land, or any social local including, grocery stores and clubs. We would catch eyes and instantly fall in love. We would exchange information and then deny how we felt about each other so as not to scare the other off for the next 6 months to years depending on the time in the story. Then something tragic would happen to one or the other of us either involving one of us directly or someone close to us, that would then make us realize that we really are made for each other and should be together always. Then the Epilogue would describe our wonderful Caribbean or tropical wedding and honeymoon, then go on to say that I gave birth (hold on I need to have a laugh break. Anyone who knows me knows that I am too squimish to give birth) to twins any combination will do and live happily ever after. GOSH DARN IT! The Romance novels are grown up fairy tales with sex. I knew it was too good to be true. See, that is why reading should not be fundamental. It will get my poor little hopes up and dash them into the ground when I remove myself from the comfort of my bed, sauna or tub.

Then again I may just be in the stage where I am alone for any of the above mentioned reasons and some day my prince will come. Even that was a little too mushy, hopeful and Disney for me. Oh well, everyone loves the happiest place on Earth.

Apparently my friend Josh has not been to Medieval Times, which is the grown up Disneyland. So, I will volunteer to go with him as I had a ball at King Arthur's court in Florida.

I bid you all ado and I can't wait to be inspired and, "BRING ON THE NEXT REMOOOOOOVEEEE!"

Hopelessly romantic,

P.S.
It is a shame I know.

Hey, sometimes you need that escape into a fantasy world. Real life romance can be harsh sometimes.

Whew!

LOL,

Dragon you are funny. Real romance is no joke. I learned that the hard way. :-) Yeah, romance novels are awesome to read, because I hope that there is someone out there that is actually experiencing that type of joy.

I've not been a big fan of romance novels because when I'd read them I couldn't keep from thinking, "Yeah, right." or "Please!" But if you've found something that allows you to forget about teaching for a few hours a week or day, go for it, girl!

PS-about 20 years I read a few novels by a Nora (forgot last name) which inspired me to travel to Ireland. See, reading romance novels do have their places:-)

Debo,

I understand where you are coming from, I am reading one of those types of romance novels right now and it is killing me how sappy it is I am tempted to read the last page and not read the rest. LOL

I did some study of Ireland when I was in college. How was it? I would like to go there at some point because I have found that the Irish and Africans have a lot in common culturally.
