When I originally left a comment I appear to have clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on whenever a comment is added I get 4 emails with the same comment. Is there a way you are able to remove me from that service? Many thanks!

It’s nearly impossible to find well-informed people in this particular subject, however, you sound like you know what you’re talking about! Thanks

Popped back in to recommend by Ruth Diaz. Fun alternate universe novella featuring a Latina, bisexual superhero. It's not out yet but probably available for pre-order.

@ Emmy

But why come here and make these comments on a post that is actually trying to address some of your criticisms?

entitled – good word for what happened. ironic. side-stepped all questions and a poor discussion – sums it all up.

Leigh: I thought this was a place to discuss opinions not just give blanket agreement to the topic at hand.

Protip: That's why I was asking you questions. Asking and answering questions is how debate works. I was trying to work out what exactly you were getting at. Since you've side-stepped all my questions, all I'm left with is my assumptions. That's sort of a poor discussion.

Emmy:I was saying what I thought not talking down.

And others here were saying what they thought and were being called for it. Sorry, but that's how I saw it and still do. It may not be the way others choose material to read, but it is their way and they're entitled to it.

I didn’t bad mouth any other sites did I. You’re making assumptions. Something done alot here I saw. The message board thing on multi cultural made the rounds and so I came to see for myself and it’s true – a mess. What a disaster setting up a thread with the word owe that noone would want to say yes to and bashing bloggers that tried to play cleanup later. You yourself even dismiss them. When someone doesn’t agree or go along head for the hills comes across loud and clear. I was saying what I thought not talking down. Get a dictionary – now that’s condescension see. The real word needed here for the multi topic is defensive – and avoidance.

There is “Does She Or Doesn’t She?” by Alisa Kwitney. The hero, Ford is part Chinese. Not her best book, but I enjoyed it.
Also, “My Best Friend’s Girl”, by Dorothy Koomson. Women’s fiction. I love this book. It is heartbreaking at times, but also funny. I’ve read several of her titles.

Leigh,

Have you read Snow Falling on Cedars by David Guterson? It takes place during and after WWII and is sort of what you are looking for. It’s more general fiction than romance but it does have a story of love lost and of new love discovered for the heroine. I liked the movie better than the book myself, which happens sometimes with general fiction.
