I've gotten a lot of questions about the validity of this month's reading theme, which I'm promoting at the Reference Desk. Yes, August IS Romance Awareness Month. To get into the spirit, I read Anna Campbell's Midnight's Wild Passion. This is one of our newest romance arrivals, and talk about a fun read. I tore through this historical romance with a fierceness, finishing it in two evenings. The heroine, Antonia Smith, appears to be a homely, spinster governess with no sense of adventure. But all is not as it seems. The rakish Marquess of Ranelaw has his sights set on Antonia's charge, but after meeting Antonia, his world is turned upside down. It's romance fiction, so there's a happy ending for all. This is a fantastic example of the genre and exactly the kind of quick-paced, heart-pumping read that will make you glad you've got a library card.
