See that first paragraph there sums up why I don't do romance. My characters would never get beyond the second round of sex without one of them jumping up to save the world/finish the paper he was writing/phone Russia for confirmation of her new theory/make sure the iron hadn't been left on/rush off to a lecture/phone the daughter's mobile to, you know, make sure she hasn't got into any sort of trouble in the past hour. Even when I sent my characters on a nice little break in Stratford to take their minds off the mystery plot and the people out to get them they spent most of their time shopping, punting and watching Shakespeare's history plays -- and one of the characters was 18 at the time.
