Oh. Oh, I misunderstood, sorry. *blushes* I thought you meant sexually repressed. As in, people who are all goody-too-shoes and then... BANG, they have kinky and 'dirty' minds. But, yes, people with control issues (in daily life) may very well be the ones that have those kinds of fantasies. Makes sense. ^__^
Yeah, that was what I was thinking. Personally I dislike those kinds of romances. Tried Christine Feehan (a popular paranormal romance writer, I think) but I hated the hero and heroine exactly because of that. I like romance novels where the heroine has a backbone and while the hero is a handsome (and inteligent) rascal he is also open-minded enough to change and to see the error of his ways. I like both of the protagonists to be inteligent, assertive and active participants in the action, not those 'man goes to battle, woman just sits home and is pretty' kinds of books. But I guess a lot of people do like them as they are still quite popular... go figure. ^___^;;
