It's been awhile, but remember how he rescued her from the prison, and then kicked Hugh Grant's ass in the fountain, rescuing her reputation as well? <br /><br />That is chivalry, love, and integrity, all rolled up into one. Like you say, the "simple gestures not motivated by lust"... perfect summary of my post in one line there. <br />Thank You!Pamela Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350308693959960754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7599090653164656115.post-47355493772590152392011-05-21T13:35:32.783-04:002011-05-21T13:35:32.783-04:00I left a comment last night and blogger ate it!
I ...I left a comment last night and blogger ate it!<br />I don't read much in the Romance genre, but just thinking of some of my favorite classics, like Anne of Green Gables, when Gilbert gives up his job to Anne so she can stay in Avonlea with Marilla--swoon. Or when Mr. Darcy secretly takes care of Elizabeth's sister so that Elizabeth isn't disgraced...love it. <br />It's the sweet, simple gestures not directly motivated by lust that get me. <br />P.S. I looked up Mr. and Mrs. Muse--I love Jonathan Adler!

Specifically, you should check out <i>True Love and Other Disasters</i> or <i>Nothing But Trouble</i>. They're both about hockey players and show great contrast at the end.
