The low rating is not due to the writer/interviewer Jasmine Vojdani. I simply wished for a critical voice to have found its way into this discussion, whether it is such a good thing that publishing is geared towards letting the readers be in the driving seat/bottom-up. It sells, but is that everything? What the reader wants should not be the driving factor of romance as a genre, imo. but that is just me.
