It took me a while to get to know my husband enough to trust him. To me trusting someone is having them know things about you and knowing they will not use those things to hurt you. I have read a few books where trust was a key issue. Some of those novels that have an element of bondage or S&M in them are all about trust and I like those. :) I’ve always had a hard time trusting other people.

Even if it is simply to know that your heroine can trust giving her heart to her hero and he won't squish it. Nearly every novel boils down to trust IMHO.

We have to be trustworthy in return. Amy LOL - that's okay. I do agree with you. I take each book and consider the circumstances. BTW - I've just sold another Middlemarch book. :grin: Kaye – yes, you’re right there. We have to be trustworthy in return.

It's one quality that I really need in any friendship. Jaime - stories with cheating spouses are few and far between, simply because romance readers don't like them. I can read them, but it does depend on the circumstances in the story. Nessa – people who lose my trust don’t last long. It’s one quality that I really need in any friendship.

I'll admit caution is good, extreme caution if you've been hurt but there are books I've wanted to throw into the fire because they end up leaving to save themselves the hurt that will come later. Or when the hero bends over backwards for them time and again and it's not until they are dying/hurt in the hospital that they have their epiphany that they do love and trust them. Enough already! I'm all for trust issues and making someone prove themselves but there is a point where it's been taken too far and then the book turns to crap on me and it becomes kindling (or deleted depending on the format.). Sorry, that was a bit of a rant but you touched one of my hot buttons when it comes to romances. Love you & your books! -Hugs I liked Scarlet Woman but often times I just get frustrated with heroines that aren’t willing to take any risks with trusting a guy.

Even friendships too. On another hand, we also have to be secure enough that we are trustworthy too. It is true, trust is what makes a relationship good. Even friendships too.

I haven't written any stories with cheating spouses or the like yet, but I do love to read those sorts of stories as there is a lot of emotion within them. :wink: Trust, for me, is firmly attached to faith.
