Romance Readers and Writers

I think all romance fans remember their first novel- I know I remember mine, even if I can’t remember the name.  For the life of me, I can’t even remember the heroine’s name  I do remember it was a Harlequin.  The cover was green and the heroine (Fiona!  I just remembered!) had red hair.  She was 19 and the hero was in his 30s.  She was a nature photographer and he was some sort of independently wealthy gentleman who didn’t mind seducing the help. It was a traditional, set in Ireland, young heroine, older Alpha Male hero series romance.  I was 12 and thought it was the hottest thing I had ever read. I quickly moved on to other romances, some of which were way more explicit.  I remember one called “Morning Glory,” which was not the same book as the very lovely novel by Lavyrle Spencer.  I’ve moved back ad forth between sweet romances and explicit stuff that would make Emma Holly blush.  I’ve devoured them all.  I never get tired of reading romances.

What was your first romance novel?  Do you remember?
