I like a touch or more--no pun here!--of romance too. In life and in art.

LOL <br /><br />I love not knowing until the very end how a book is going to turn out. But -- woe until the author who doesn't end things the way I WANT THEM. Happy, full of hope, and all the loose ends tied up.

That's the closest I've been able to come with explaining it. I definitely have to have my romance in the story, or I'll end up scratching my head and wondering why it isn't there.

I swear every book is mystery or suspense 'cause after all we don't know how it's going to end.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09054306874904898496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-87345311048977492862014-12-03T08:50:12.354-08:002014-12-03T08:50:12.354-08:00Great differentiation between mystery and suspense...Great differentiation between mystery and suspense. And I have to have romance in mine, too. So, so difficult to get the right blend, and then to pace it just so to keep the readers turning pages!Anne Marie Beckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17603878676306179018noreply@blogger.com
