Not that I'd ever defend this jerk, but I have never read a romance novel that I've liked.
Yeah, but what you're saying is a far cry from how rude the person in question was. You're just saying that you personally don't enjoy romance, and that's completely kosher. I mean, romance ain't for everyone.
BTW, what have you tried so far, so I can get an idea of what type you like. You might also try romance that's mixed with another genre (you know, like putting the dog's pill inside cheese).
Paranormal Romance is sometimes promising, though like any other genre, there is the 99.9% rule (that is - 99% of everything is crap).
Give me some time and maybe I can round up some stuff for you.
I'm currently reading this horrible lesbian Christmas erotica called Dyke the Halls.
Oh, dude, just no. Dude. I know there's better lesbian erotica than that out there.
I mean, you know it's bad when you're putting a lesbian off her lesbian sex. Christ on a sidecar.
"Her woman juices exploded." Really? Really.
I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH BRAIN BLEACH, I JUST DON'T. Please be kidding, because I'd like to keep my faith in humanity. That's just not right at all. So many things are wrong with that phrase that I CAN'T EVEN LIST THEM. A googleplex of things are wrong with it.
ETA: Also, I know you're not usually a reader of fiction, but check out just about anything by Nicola Griffith (http://www.nicolagriffith), because she does some of the best lesbian literature around. It's SF/F, but it's really good and I swear it's free of exploding woman juices, cross my heart. And she's done some anthologies if short stories are more your speed.
