At one time, millionaires were the dashing princes. Now, it has to be a billionaire. How long before one is not truly rich until one has at least a trillion?
I keep waiting for my wife to get the one where the asexual super model takes a break from the world of high fashion to become a housekeeper for a multi-billionaire geek (overweight with acne at age 47) that still lives in his mother’s basement (mom died 2 years ago) on Cokes and chips.
I love the Hallmark channel but every year I stop watching the Christmas movies about a week after they start because not everyone has a snowy, beautiful small town Christmas. I live in Texas where it is more than likely to be 90 at Christmas and we seldom get snow. I don’t have, nor can I afford, a Balsam Hill Christmas tree with all the decorations, cook 100’s of Christmas cookies and have a nice calm family celebration…..
A guy I knew in SoCAl wrote romance novels. Apparently each series has their own script: what the guy looks like, ditto woman, what page they meet on, how they react, when they finally get together, even basic sex moves. Why does a guy get into it? Easy money and conventions with a male:female ratio of 1:100.
I skip the ones where the “Hero” is a billionaire. I’m going to start skipping the ones where he’s a Duke, there haven’t been that many Dukes in the history of the world.

So have I. Oh, and it should be “Misty, her best friend, burst into the room”.

There’s something vaguely familiar with this plot. He’s a Texan with lots of land, cattle and oil. Right!?Meanwhile, Arlo is dreaming…

Popcorn. Each one looks a bit different but they’re all the same. Bond books are like that too.

Well, you know, Romance Novels are like Zane Gray westerns. They only have one plot.

Standard plot #127 in romance novels (so I assume, never having read one).

If you aren’t sure, keep reading. You will never guess how it will end!

I’m content to say it doesn’t sound familiar in the least.

Misty? That’s a dog’s name. Who the heck names their kid Misty?

Yes, she’s read it before … but then it turned out Arlo wasn’t a billionaire after all.

There are only about ten plots in every type of movie, book, etc whether it’s a spy movie, a murder mystery, a romance novel, etc.

Romance novels mostly have the same plots. it’s like looking for something new and daring in the Congressional Record…

Of course she has. Having read one, she’s read them all.
