Thirteen traits you won’t find in a bestselling romance novel:
1…Hero with a face full of pimples

2…Wimpy, unmotivated hero (beer drinking/belching couch potato)

3…Nose picking, butt picking, underwear picking, ect

4…A perfect man with no flaws (that’s stretching it a little too much!)

5…Spineless, honorless, despicable lead characters

6…”Honey, you really should shave. Your legs are giving me razor burn.”

7…Heroine killing the Hero because he’s a jack ass

8…A couple falling in love and living happily ever after broke

9…The heroine having five kids and the hero leaving her for he new woman

10…The heroine catching the love of her life with her underwear on

11…A hero asking his love to get a boob job

  1. LOL, Amen!!

    “Honey, I want you to get a boob job.”
    “No. Stop pawing at me. I just want some sleep.”

    My TT is all about havin one of those mornings.

  2. Yea, that kind of fiction is called “literary fiction” :)

  3. …Heroine killing the Hero because he’s a jack ass

    bwahahahahahaha!!! Sadly, I have read romances where I wondered at the end WHY the heroine ends up with the hero…and vice versa.

    These are great!

  4. Too funny! :) Thanks for the grins. :)

    Happy TT. :)

  5. Yeah, that’s real life! Hahaha!

    Cute list and imagination!

  6. Great list!!! Number 11 cracked me up!!

  7. stephanie-some mornings are definately like that.

    racy-Nothing like that literary fiction to make you pick up a good romance.

    Jaci-I know what you mean. After reading one I dread the next book from that author (the whole is it going to be worth my time idea).

    Caylynn & Chelle Y.-glady y’all liked the list

    Tammy-I’ve found that there is nothing like a boob comment to get a response from men and women. Crazy huh?!

  8. I love this list. I also relate to the responses about literary fiction and real life. lol! There are a lot of good reasons for reading a good romance. Another thing you’ll never find: boring main character who can only talk about his or her job.

  9. pdiva: You so called that one. Can you imagine the boredom in that book?

    “Honey today I sharpened my pencil. It took 2.3 seconds. Then I walked down to Bob’s cubicle and asked him…”
