The bouquet possesses an unsteady, if protean structure: alternating undertones of honey and pencil lead emanate. Though not excessively rustic per se, I sense a sour, dense, deep tannin with a persistent, yet subtle, inner, unpalatably concentrated fruitiness. It leaves an unpleasant emptiness. In a sense, the finish is a bit jejune...
...stipulation on alcohol use: "No alcoholic drinks except Malt Liquor shall be allowed in the Club House."

There is more than sour grapes in this charge, but less, perhaps, than the whole story. For romance writers labor under, and romance readers demand, a formula of childlike restrictions and simplicity. Here is how two romance authors, Linda Barlow and Jayne Ann Krentz, jointly define it: "The reader trusts the writer to create and re-create for her a vision of a fictional world that is free of moral ambiguity, a larger-than-life domain in which such ideals as courage, justice, honor, loyalty and love are challenged and upheld."
