See, I love romance. I have a soft spot for guys sweeping in and being heroic as long as the girl isn't a moron. And I'm not finding much in terms of a decent heroine. I really think it boils down to so many heroins not having a story aside from the romance itself while the guys gets cool backstories or other motivations aside from romance.
Even if I ever wrote paranormal romance, I'm guessing it'll sway more urban fantasy/contemporary fantasy anyway. I just can't buy into these tropes. I'd love to read a strong romance that didn't dive into these tropes so much.
I really need to read DeLint. We've friended each other on FB, but I haven't checked his stuff out yet.
