I’ll admit that except for a short mystery, I read romance. And they were all Harlequin Presents. But, they’re all very old, and so very cheesy, which is exactly what I need at the end of the semester. It doesn’t hurt that it only takes a few hours to knock one out.

  1. The Oxford Murders - Guillermo Martinez
  2. When the Loving Stopped - Jessica Steele (out of print)
  3. A Taste of Paradise - Margaret Mayo (out of print)
  4. Mistaken for a Mistress - Jaqueline Baird (out of print)
  5. No Time for Marriage - Roberta Leigh (out of print)

When the Loving Stopped is badly titled, and would have made a perfect musical in the 60s. No Time for Marriage managed to contradict itself at the end–the heroine was a career woman who stated over and over she wanted stay that way, except when offered marriage by the billionaire tycoon. I hate that kind of acquiescence in a previously strong heroine.
