My First Chick Lit Read

My first chick lit read is Getting Over It by Anna Maxted and all I can say is: Yikes. I just don't quite get her writing style. And I thought I'll find something humorous in the superficial.

I don't know what made me include a couple of chick lit ebooks in my Stanza library. Maybe this genre of fiction slightly appealed to me because I thought I can relate well with chick lit female protagonists. Not that I like to shop or be so overly concerned about my looks. But I am single and still somehow fit the age group (up to thirty-something). And of course, I liked the movie adaptation of The Devil Wears Prada. Plus, chick lit book covers are really colorful and I really like having pretty cover images in my Stanza library.

I am not keeping my doors closed on chick lit. But I don't want to waste my time on bad reads so I think I'm going to pick a couple of ebook titles from more popular chick lit authors.

Hunky Doctors, Sensual Nurses

And I thought J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series sold like hotcakes! And then I read that 200 million Mills & Boon are sold worldwide each year. Was I surprised? Hell, yeah! But I was even more shocked to learn that one out of the twelve Mills & Boon's novel series is dedicated to the medical profession and is aptly called medical romance.

Yes, medical romance-- the great love between doctors and nurses. And the good thing is, medical romance novels have the perfect ingredients : hunky doctors, sensual nurses, unpredictable settings charged with electricity, and happy endings amidst life-threatening medical emergencies! Bring it on, baby!

The titles, of course, are as compelling as the plots. How can you refuse titles such as The Doctor's Latin Lover, The Doctor's Longed-For Family, The Sicilian Doctor's Proposal, The Doctor's Bride By Sunrise...Hoo-hah!

So what then is the key to a long-lasting medical romance? The secret to a long-lasting medical romance is simple, critics say. The ruggedly handsome doctor should remain unfathomable, infallible, arrogant and all-knowing and the nurse sensual, provocative,nurturing, and able to anticipate his needs at all times. ;)

Boy, I'm glad my boyfriend's not a doctor!Hehe.
