Ode (of sorts) to Monica Belle

Like most women, (i suspect) I have read at least one trashy romance novel. I actually have read only one, and oddly enough was writing my own stuff long before i read it. but unlike the stupid suburban housewife-types who read stupid, ill-written, predictable, romance novels about pretty girls leading relatively ordinary lives (I would like to add that most of these books are in fact written by men)...unlike them, i read Monica belle's stuff, which by the is about a goth chick who lives in what used to be a chapel in a cemetery in London.
The characters all have at least some dimension and backstory, example the main character is kind of infatuated with goth art, and is a former tagger (graffiti only cooler and a little artsy-er), she has lots of fetish clothes/jewelry, she's just in general a cool character, plus in the novel one of the guys she falls for is a comic, and at one point he usues her for a model ( yes some of it is cheesy, but i'm a girl and im allowed to embrace the cheeze factor just a little).
I read it a year ago and found it in a drawer while i was cleaning this afternoon and thought that i would recommend to you all that if you're gonna read something even partially for the sexual content, get something that's at least reasonably well written and interesting as well. That's all for now, more later, -kt.
