It seems to me that far too many woman get married knowing very little about their husbands in these books. Of course, I can easily see being swept away by anyone who owned a castles teetering on the edge of a cliff. I mean, how cool is that. I think I would entertain marrying the Count from Sesame Street for a house like that.
My favorite pulp/historic/romance novelist - a teenage girl could ask for no more a simple read and frightening sense of doom. Helped me graduate to Bronte's !
