I loved that article (though I didn't realize it was written by Linda Holmes - I hated her as a mod at TWoP but she's a good writer). I've been thinking a lot about how we talk about romance lately, especially because I've been reading a lot more of it. It's a real shame that romance gets treated as a genre unworthy of attention, reflection, and appreciation. My favourite line in that article is the one about stories about kissing being just as profound and wonderful as stories about someone getting shot.
