"Rock stars" there don't necessarily have the hordes of bodyguards, nor are they necessarily followed by packs of papparazi (is that how you spell that?). They do have private moments and are much more approachable in the way that she writes about than our equivalent. Also, I think you have to recognize that if women in the real world did the things that women do in romances, playing with bad boys, walking the streets at night and having sex with the creature of the night, well, they wouldn't last long. This isn't real life, it's life like we'd like it to be. Yeah, I'd be the one trying to sneak back stage if life were as safe as a book. Ms. White's story was okay, but I agree that the woman got off too easily. For me, that story had all the things in it that bugged you about the other one. I guess it all boils down to personal taste.

Duncan's book is probably my favorite. The heroine gets pregnant by her boyfriend as a high school student. The best friend offers to marry her. They marry and fall in love with each other. They have a great marriage, but when the 20 year class reunion comes around and they both have to face the old flame, the marriage falters.

What are some others that you would recommend? You know I can’t recall ever reading a marriage in trouble story. What are some others that you would recommend?
