I am reading a werewolf romance novel right now. Normally, I read nonfiction like history, true stories that are not true crime, science books, and romantic suspense. I blame Laura Hunsaker, who writes on Smart Girls Read Romance on the 26th of each month. This time she asked the important question,
" If you're allergic to dogs, would you be allergic to werewolves?"
Jewel, my miniature Poodle, on my messy bed.
As someone who is too allergic to dogs and cats to be the veterinarian I wanted to be, the question intrigued me. When I get a new dog, I sniffle and sneeze for two or three months before I get used to the dog. After that, I have no problem as long as I keep the dog clean. Good thing, too, because my dogs sleep on my bed, lie on my furniture, and basically expand to fill any available space.
When I explained that, the authors on Smart Girls had a spirited discussion about whether a person would be allergic to werewolves in their wolf form and whether that would carry over to when the werewolf was in human form. It was a lot of fun. I realized that I had not read any werewolf romances and didn't know much about them. In the spirit of research, I read a couple of the werewolf romances in Kindle Unlimited. Unexpectedly, I found I liked them to read when I wanted something to distract me, but couldn't read something I had to think about. Sort of a book to curl up with on a down day and be distracted for an hour or two.
Laura writes paranormal romance with a pal under the name Kenzie Maclir. You will have to read her books to see if the poor allergic woman is too allergic to the werewolf to be his mate.
So, what books do you read that are a guilty pleasure?
