The other thing that bothers me about the quoted orgasm passage is the fact that he shouts when he comes. That’s just so very wrong.

one of those characters who suffers from what I think of as The Gap i.e. the gap between (a) what he is supposed to be and (b) what he actually is.

The Gap–I like that a lot. Good phrase for a common romance hero issue, particularly rakes and modern day bad boys.

And setting the scene is one thing, but endless decorating detail is another. Rather unnecessary. I remember one book that kept talking about the heroine’s tchotchkes, and it was just who cares? It made her sound like a grandma. Raggedy Ann dolls and doilies and crap.

It’s the classic three part orgasm: shatter, scatter and soar.

This is destined to become its own classic quote. Elegantly stated.

And the bit you quoted before saying that was so purple in its prose that I rolled my eyes.

Hehe. You know you’ve read too many trashy books when…

I gotta love how they’re coming up with Historical titles that sound exactly like the current Harlequin Presents titles.
