That’s definitely the case here (with me) as this cover gives off more of a bodice ripper vibe. I recently came across an article saying that ereaders are causing a renaissance in erotica and romance because no one can see what you’re reading. But they don’t detract from a good story and, anyway, genre fiction is all about the tropes. He’s perfectly chivalrous about sexual acts. She’s an every-woman in looks and he’s a stunner. Sure, lots of standard romance tropes (the oft-recited ones ) were there: this guy can give her emotionally and sexually what no other man could. Liu is an American New York Times best-selling author and comic book writer. I was invested in the characters and Liu created a compelling universe. Lius Hunter Kiss urban fantasy series, I decided to look into her paranormal romance series, Dirk & Steele. I really liked the story and could see myself reading more of the series. This is a thriller that takes place on two continents with some elements of urban fantasy. It turned out to essentially be like the Robert Ludllum books I read in college while flying home on break, only with better sex scenes (because the two characters in a Ludlum book usually ended up knocking boots). The cover promised a cheesy romance, but I knew going in it was Liu who I loved on X-Men and I knew it was a paranormal romance, to which my wife said “like the movie Ghost?” I got this Marjorie Liu book for free from Barnes and Noble in a Friday giveaway. He was crisp, clean, and somehow out of place, although Dela could not determine exactly why.

He was of an indeterminate race, darkly handsome, wearing sandals and loose black slacks, as well as a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up. I set out to see if I could enjoy a romance book. A man at the end of the aisle caught her eye.
