Barbara -

I've worked w/her before on the Internet and thought she was very nice. My quandry comes from this: the books she's written that we've reviewed before she made the switch were mostly kisses only - her DIK had subtle sensuality. There are at least two series lines that are no more sensual than a book I'd let my 10 year old read and the traditional regency is most often "kisses only" too.

Hugely popular romance authors such as Debbie Macomber often write "kisses only" romances, and some of the authors who straddle the women's fiction fence often do as well - present company excepted. ;) So it seemed more of a religious/socio-political stance to take rather than a merely writerly one.
