LOVE IN FICTION
February - MostlyFiction.com has always shied away from the Romance as a category. We do sometimes read books in this genre -- but with so many websites already doing a very good job in this extremely active area, we are content to let others be the experts while we focus on the more literary contemporary books.
Within many of the books that we do review, there is much romance and explored from many different angles. It is at the heart (so to speak) of many a good plot or storyline and in every type of fiction. Fiction is about life and life is full of romance (and heartbreak).
