I'm convinced that English Regency Romances (ERR) are one of the lamest kind I've ever read. Either that, or the English have bad taste in romance stories. It's like, he kisses her unprecedentedly, and then they fall in love and blah blah blah when only minutes ago they're both convinced of their eternal hate for each other. And, they are just so predictable! Well, the romance part is horrid, but the plotline (e.g.adventure, action etc) is very good. Or okay. Anything.
What's more, all the guys are national spies in disguise, use fake names, and the girl is so prissy and all that one moment and the next moment she willingly jumps into bed with him? Okay, I know this sounds crude, but it's so true.
You'd think the authors wrote the stories together, just put the plotline in their own style. Pshaw.
