I love the three way romance in the Evanovich novels (Morelli, Stephanie, and Ranger) but I don't find it believable. I love the HEA; it's why I write romance. Thanks for the answer.

The most important rule of romance writing is the happily ever after ending. That one I would never break, although I have been known to stretch it a bit. One man's HEA could be another's ball and chain after all. Another rule I consider important is H/H monogamy. Now that one is broken more often these days with erotica becoming an important player in the field. But I wouldn't break it. I don't find it a fantasy that satisfies me. I don't think I could do a credible job braking that rule. Thanks for stopping by, Megan.
