It was one of the first of its kind wasn’t it? And there are a lot of imitators today – but DOY is the original and no book I’ve read since then with that kind of storyline has been able to match it. I (emphasis on I) can’t imagine how anyone would find it boring, but if newer readers to the romance genre have read similar books before reading DOY – specially ones with more shagging, I suppose they wouldn’t appreciate the bar that she set with this one. But to find this one and Lord of Scoundrels both boring – well it rather boggles the mind doesn’t it? <BR/><BR/>BAM: heh heh. Not too much pressure eh? When you do get to it, after all this you probably will hate it *grin* but you'll still crack me up.Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-1138610543216317812006-01-30T03:42:00.000-05:002006-01-30T03:42:00.000-05:00I read DOY when it came out [mutter I, a tired ol...I read DOY when it came out [mutter I, a tired old hag]. At the time, it was a huge fresh jolt because at the time, there was nothing but Alpha men who don't blink twice at the idea of brutalising "their" women, Johanna Lindsey, American Civil War historicals, Jude Deveraux, and la la. Now, with so many DOY-like historicals floating around, it is easy to see why a reader today find it hard to understand why it's special.<BR/><BR/>[Sorry - one of readers recently said she found it 'boring' because, I suspect, there isn't many shag scenes. Actually she said the same thing about Loretta Chase's LORD OF SCOUNDRELS. I can't quite stand Dain, but I loved Jessica and, even more so, Chase's fairy-tale-like writing style]. Sorry this is so long.
