why? why? WHY????

I just finished a Mills & Boon. I've read three of them so far... including this one. My reaction at the end of it is always the same - I end up throwing the book as far as I can fling it and think to myself "what utter rubbish!"So sue me, I needed something light to read. Instead I ended up with harebrained garbage disguised as printed pages of a book.
In all three books the plot has been the same, the woman is always amazingly, unimaginably beautiful but for some reason is not a model or a hollywood actress but instead something impossible like a cleaner or a secretary. The main guy is ALWAYS the most handsome creature ever alive (considering the number of these books, that makes it a lot of guys hankering for the top spot!) and always over six feet tall and of course every bit of him muscled up, even his eyelids!So anyway, the woman always falls in love with the guy on first sight but hates herself for doing so pretends to hate him. The guys is always a brute who has also secretly fallen in love with the woman on first sight and is brute so that she doesn't find out.... etc etc. You get the idea.
These books are supposed to be, you know, teenage stuff.. stuff that giggly schoolgirls dream about and hence read these books and imagine themselves turning into swans from ugly ducklings and finding their knight and what not. I just think that if such kinds of girls exist someone please replace the scrambelled eggs that are substituting for brains with some real grey cells!
