Let me preface this blog by stating: I am a hopeless romantic. A card carrying, flag waving, cry at sappy commercials romantic. A good love story makes me happy. Watching the characters meet, connect, argue, fall in love, these are all things I thoroughly enjoy reading. There's nothing like a wonderfully romantic story to make me feel good inside.
Now here's my RANT. I want my happy ending. Like any modern day fairy tale, give me that Happily Ever After. I know the trend with chick lit and women's fiction can often be happy for now, and that okay, but when I'm reading a book regardless of the specific genre, that has been touted and categorically stated to be a romance, you darn well better give my that satisfactory conclusion, the hero and heroine professing their love and wanting to be together forever.

Conflict and Chemistry
Yesterday, as I sat in the jurors waiting room doing my civic duty and reading most of the day, I read the second book in the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy by E.L. James. I'm not a big erotica fan, but this author's quick rise to stardom has been fascinating to watch. Almost like the "Twilight Series." I read the first book, and I have to admit I enjoyed the characters tremendously.
