So, can men write romance? Barbara Vane over at Publisher’s Weekly isn’t so sure.
A friend and I were talking last night, as we generally do, about books. We were going on and on about our favorite authors and I noticed there were no men authors being talked about. When I asked her who her favorite male author was who wrote romance she immediately said Nicolas Sparks, “If you can get past the tragic endings.” Well, I knew that was the reason I didn’t read his books. I need my HEA (happily ever after).
So for my turn I threw out Paul Levine who writes the awesome Solomon vs Lord series (think Moonlighting meets Boston Legal). Ilove the romance in his books, along with the humor, memorable characters and mystery.
It’s true that Nicholas Sparks doesn’t really go for the HEA, but still — those books are romances, if you inquire us. We agree that attorney/novelist/screenwriter Paul Levine is awesome at writing romance, as well. His new Solomon vs. Lord series is funny, flirty and would make a awesome romantic comedy.
That’s as much in-depth analysis as we can manage for a turkey-laden holiday. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
