Romance Novel is exactly what the title promises, and more so. The story is a parody of every romance novel with a hero, heroine and minor characters all struggling to find their place.
Smella Rosepetal is a virgin looking for a rich husband. Not for herself but to enable her baby to have a life saving operation (see the confusion – a virgin with a baby?). She leaves little Joshua or Adam or Austin (his name changes every time he’s mentioned) with her best friend Ebony while she returns to her home town to seek out the richest man she can find.
Her hometown is either in Australia or Texas – I could never figure out which. Here she has a choice of men. viagra sales in india Through its anti-oxidant properties, the ayurvedic herbal remedy increases semen volume, sex drive and offers control over the ejaculate.

Murder and mayhem happen whenever Smella passes by but she is serene in the knowledge she’s the heroine and lives without fear.

Romance Novel is hilarious. It takes a normal romantic story and accentuates all the bits that are not usually mentioned. Question: How could a virgin have a baby? Answer: Because she needed a baby for the plot.
Ms. Jones plays on these anomalies all the way through the book, and these provide a funny, well thought out book. Add to this the lack of sporty, rich vehicles, men with fabulous bodies, heroines with brains and you have an ideal romantic novel, or at least a parody of one.
By the time I finished reading my sides were aching with laughter. Well done Ms. Jones, you really made my day.
