I read a book recently that made me want to scream - category romance. There's an arsonist on the loose. About 3/4 of the way through the book, the heroine gets a message delivered (via a real live messenger dude!) that is supposedly from the hero, telling her to meet him at the church, so he can give her info about the arsonist. So even though this arsonist is on the loose, even though he has *already* communicated with the hero by using a messenger, even though anyone with half a brain would think, "Why doesn't he just call me?" our fearless heroine goes without a second thought!

From that point on, I stopped caring what happened to her. She was too stupid to live! It completely ruined the rest of the book for me, and I'm a little surprised I even bothered to finish it. I don't like it when my intelligence is insulted! How did this book get published? Did the editor not notice, or just not care? I don't get it!
