I love to read romance books; however, my poor husband often suffers. I love my husband very much and we have been married for 30 years but the men in romance novels are just so hard for a hubby to live up to. They often are a dream man that we drool over and often I wish my husband were more like them. But I do realize this is fiction! I enjoy the build up to the actual first kiss or embrace. The friction and sparks get my heart racing and that is when my husband doesn't suffer! Thank you authors!
