It is interesting that a "oops...I agree Janet. It is interesting that a "oops" pregnancy is par for the course but an STD is taboo. LOL. I will say that the STD is not the focus of my story. In fact once it comes out, the hero pretty much calms her fears and they move on so it not the main part of the story. I think readers will like the character because she is real. We will see. I have gotten some positive feed back so far. <br />Gynger Fyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885326639535107537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7262133499171669497.post-76334877670494145382012-12-08T18:11:03.982-08:002012-12-08T18:11:03.982-08:00I'm a firm believer if the story is told in a ...I'm a firm believer if the story is told in a respectful way it can be interesting. I also like a dose of reality with my fantasy, now if the entire focus is on the STD it starts being more of a cautionary tale than a fantasy to me. It's interesting that a STD is a taboo but there are several stories where a heroine gets pregnant after unprotected sex and readers will hardly blink an eye over that.

Mary had suffered with it since she was 17 but the hero, Alec was amazingly compassionate, and pursued & loved her. It was my first love story with a character dealing with an illness. I enjoyed the realness of the story, so I would be interested in reading your story.

I would be interested to read it because it's something different and I think IR romance shouldn't be any different from the other romance novels that might tackle this issue. As Black women, we all have similar struggles. We all have different struggles. It would be nice to read an account on what one has to deal with on a daily basis. I'm sure, with people who have herpes, it does impact their dating life.

But I would consider reading but both the hero and the heroine should have it. That way the playing field is somewhat fair.
