Romance writers and readers have one thing in common: We love men.
I like romance in films. I like love in films.
Believe me, blond hair can take you really far, especially with the older men. It can really distract from the face. I am convinced I could have had sex with both Tony Bennett and John McCain if we weren't each happily married at the time we all met.
I'm really lucky to be married to a perfect person.
I'm a happily married man and I think to get married you have to be optimistic.
I married the man of my dreams in 1998.
Everyone who made 'Save the Date,' like the writers and the director, they're all happily married and not anti-marriage at all, so that was kind of interesting to me.
It's true that romance novels do detail the courtship phase of a relationship. We usually write 'And they lived happily ever after' before our heroine starts snoring or our hero starts tossing his socks over the hamper.
When the journalists asked Gene, 'Why didn't you marry the beautiful girl in 'The Woman in Red'?' he would always reply, 'I did!'
I'm so fortunate to be marrying the man of my dreams. I knew that I was completely in love with him and he's the love of my life, but who knew what the future held? Then he swept me off my feet and asked me to marry him.
What I really want is to play the romantic lead and get the girl.
Romance novels satisfy a very specific fantasy of romantic love that seems to be a powerful part of the female psyche.
I met my wife in South Dakota.
After many decades of Disney movies, we have been conditioned to expect princesses to fall in love quickly with their charming princes and 'live happily ever after.'
When you say that you write romantic fiction, there are a lot of people who have an image in their mind of the 'bodice ripper.' It's the one term that most romantic fiction writers absolutely hate because it has no bearing on what people are writing.
I'm not a happy-ending person. I want to know what happens once Cinderella rides off with Prince Charming.
I don't write the kind of 'happily ever after' that romance readers enjoy.
The good guy only gets the girl in a soppy way.
I write romance because I love to read romance.
I love historical romance, absolutely love it.
A romance novel is more than just a story in which two people fall in love. It's a very specific form of genre fiction. Not every story with a horse and a ranch in it is a Western; not every story with a murder in it is a mystery; and not every book that includes a love story can be classified as a romance novel.
