I’ve gifted my fiancé’s grandma a couple of books for every holiday, but I’ve mainly focused on family stories and historical novels.
His sister is into romance novels and we have read some of the same ones, so she gifted Gma a couple of spicy books. I just happened to notice, so I brought it up on the way home.
I said, “I was curious if you liked romance novels, since Sister gave you a couple today. I’ve read Title and Title, and I really liked them!”
She replied with, “Oh, yes, absolutely. I love romance novels.”
So, I said, “I just wanted to be sure. I have some recommendations you might really like, but they are occasionally graphic. I always want to make sure I’m being appropriate with my fiancé’s family!” in a sort of playful tone.
She said, “Oh, I love to see a couple work through their problems. And some of the sex scenes, I mean, you can’t help but get turned on.”
She continued to describe her favorite things to read in romance and my fiancé whispered, “Why would you do this to me?” Now, he’s heard WAY TOO MUCH. Oops. 😅
TL;DR - Asked Gma if she was okay with graphic scenes in romance, she told us how turned on she gets. Fiancé is irreparably damaged.
