Though you're a doll for thinking that I could sell you on one. :-) Jack and Caro's story is primarily a romance (obviously) with a light caper element, so it's not really all that OTT. Plus it IS a reunion story and it IS set in London. Two elements definitely in its favour. ;-)Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-41047174139619378032016-02-10T19:14:47.264+11:002016-02-10T19:14:47.264+11:00I think it's the variety of the stories in the...I think it's the variety of the stories in the romance genre, Lyn, that make it so appealing. Though, like you, I sometimes need to be in the right mood for certain types of stories.<br /><br />I hope you get your reading mojo back soon! I can be like that too after having read a really compelling book...can take me a few days before I'm ready to pick up something new. Also, thank you for the review on GoodReads -- very chuffed that you picked up on the snuffbox symbolism. :-)Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-31252296883290782202016-02-10T17:58:24.002+11:002016-02-10T17:58:24.002+11:00Michelle, I'm not a great fan of the old-fashi...Michelle, I'm not a great fan of the old-fashioned caper movies either -- for the same OTT reasons as Amy -- but I LOVE LOVE LOVE reunion romances AND romances with a dash of suspense.

It helps me find the tone I want to capture (sometimes for the whole book and sometimes just for an element of the story). I have created entire playlists for books in the past, but not very often. That said, I did find it to be a nice way to channel some inspiration. Whatever works, I say. :-)Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-11090531752371119332016-02-10T09:38:30.355+11:002016-02-10T09:38:30.355+11:00Lovely song, Michelle!

But i love the idea of a single song soundtrack :)<br /><br />I love a little mystery/caper with my romance.
