I don't read romance, usually, but I know of an independent bookstores within biking distance that sells pretty much all romance--so I'm not even potentially deprived! Sunshine was...well, it was dark, and had interesting world-and-romance building, but I've only read it once, so it's not my favorite of McKinley's books. There's definitely scenes you'd like, though! Maybe not enough of them, but it is sort of a supernatural romance/action novel (with more leanings towards action), so it might be worth a look. :)Brenda McKennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333395912585448384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030123943970363027.post-47002723557223715692011-06-10T01:35:33.978-07:002011-06-10T01:35:33.978-07:00Blimey would you get a load of that cover??

I wanted to read Sunshine - is it any good?<br /><br />Now, trying to think, when I buy a book, I look at the names first, so the name definitely has to grab me, then the cover art, (but if the art is mediocre, I'll still look on the back) and then the cover blurb has to impress me. I won't read the first ten - twenty but I will read the first few lines - how generous am I? lol. Really though, since Borders closed in the UK and because I only read American Romances of which there are few in England (!), I do most of my book shopping online. It's harder to browse :0(Sophie H.
