To answer the original question: Yes, I do 'read' romance novels. That is, I 'listen' to them on tapes that I get from the blind library. I intermix them with mystery and suspense novels. My primary reaction to 'hearing' a romance novel is that in many of the stories, the sex scenes become hilarious when you hear all that overblown language spoken out loud. I'm still trying to figure out how to write really good L&C NFic. Some writers seem to have a natural bent for it.
