Been there . . . Done that . . . broke up, spent time apart, and whamo circumstances throw you back together . . .

We all have pet peeves when it comes to what we like or don’t like to read. I have a friend who hates secret baby books. Bodice rippers make some want to rip their hair out. And there are varying degrees of what we like in paranormal, vampires, no vampires, werefolks, no werefolks.

Mine has been the rekindled love. Don’t know why that bothers me exactly. But I kinda feel like it’s almost cheating. You don’t have to “build” the romance from the ground up. You start from a different point in the folks relationship. I always thought it was an easy-out when working on the “Love” part of the story–poor misguided me . . .

HOWEVER, having said that, I have really been thinking about it lately and realized it allows the author more freedom to develope the plot. You don’t have to take those extra chapters of the meet and the cultivation. You can add bits of the why in backstory.

I can see the benefits in boys meets girl, boy looses girl but meets up with girl again and the books begins . . . hmm . . . do I feel a story line coming along?
