Oh no! I totally understand. I'm the same way. I always think I should like the romance books because I do really love romances! But it's just like you said, when that's the only plot, it doesn't seem to work. There's just too much drama for my taste, lol.

It is! They're somewhat older books, but they were reissued and updated in the last couple of years.

I'm interested in the Black Jewel books, too. I almost bought them earlier this year, but I guess I better try them at the library first, to make sure I like them. :)

No problem! I'm always good for book recs!
