NowIStyle items, studded headband and romance books

      I recently decided to stop by the romance genre at the book store, just to take a sneak peek of what people are masturbating on. Every 1 in 3 books, was about a dangerous creep. Man, what is it about "dark, irresistible, dangerous" men, that make woman behave like drooling maniacs?

I'll show you what I mean, but first comes the fashiony part:  
I suppose you've already heard of Now I Style and their fuckton of gorgeous clothes. If you haven't, prepare for a fuckton of photos!

Coat- nowistyle, Dress- noistyle, bag- random Chinese shop, spike headband- Asos. 

Ok, back to my daily rant.

These titles are just the tip of the masturbating iceberg:

1. Taste

 Kate Evangelista 

.....A group calling themselves night students threaten to taste her flesh until she is saved by a mysterious, alluring boy. With his pale skin, dark eyes, and mesmerizing voice, Demitri is both irresistible and impenetrable.....

2. Release me   

J. Kenner

...Damien Stark could have his way with any woman. He was sexy, confident, and commanding: Anything he wanted, he got. And what he wanted was me.
  Our attraction was unmistakable, almost beyond control, but as much as I ached to be his, I feared the pressures of his demands...

3. Marked

Elisabeth Naughton 

...From the moment he walked into the club, Casey knew this guy was different. Men like that just didn’t exist in real life—silky shoulder-length hair, chest impossibly broad, and a predatory manner that just screamed dark and dangerous....

4. Venom (Secrets of the eternal rose)

Fiona Paul

.... Soon, she finds herself falling for Falco, a mysterious artist with a mischievous grin... and a spectacular skill for trouble. ... 

5. Death and the girl next door

 Darynda Jones

...High school is not quite as painful as she thinks it will be, and things are as normal as they can be.  Until the day the school's designated loner, Cameron Lusk, begins to stalk her, turning up where she least expects it,  standing outside her house in the dark, night after night....

 Ever since "Twilight", romance books have been all about questionable sexual issues and plucking tampons from the vagina, (yeah, those of you who read "Fifty shades, know what I'm talking about).
I understand the need for fantasy, but how about giving a nudge to everyday boring life. You do know, average generic people fall in love too right? ZzzzZz, bored?

Maybe try something like this: "He was generally a nice, chest haired guy, who worked at the IT department. He started his day with a cup of coffee and ended it with a Heineken. He got the occasional panic attacks, which occurred on every company meeting, but as soon as he took an aspirin it all disappeared"...now? I bet you're bored now.

Have the lives of most housewives been reduced to shallow existence, centered around an annoying kid, the only light at the end of the tunnel being a book about mysterious, hairless weirdo? So it seems.
You may think that love between ordinary people is boring, well it is, if it's written by a dumb ass.

The most interesting romances I read where from Erich Remarque, and the guy doesn't even write romance. He just writes complicated characters, struggling through life, who happen to fall in love. 

And don't even give me the "but the females in those books are ordinary" card, because they are not. The female characters may think they're ordinary, but ordinary people don't attract tons of dark, handsome guys, believe me.

I think life is hard and interesting enough, to have characters who are normal. They may be insecure, sad, hysteric, vulnerable, happy, exhausted, fighting, giving up...

I'm so sick off vampires, werewolves, obnoxious dark assholes and dumb princesses, who keep stumbling down their feet, because being clumsy=ordinary, go figure!

So, what genre books do you guys prefer?
