When most people think about Harlequin Romance novels, they picture Fabio on a cheap paperback cover, tossed in a beach bag. Harlequins are what women to read when the sun is too hot to concentrate on words with many syllables, right? Maybe.

Find the Harlequin Sentence

Which of these sentences comes from a Harlequin?

  1. "They fumbled with each other's clothing, twined limbs around limbs, and thrashed with urgent ardor on the cold sand."
  2. "She blew a kiss to the man with the steel-rimmed glasses, who blushed a bit, coughed, and smiled."
  3. "All she wanted was for him to take her in his arms, to kiss her again, to make her forget everything that had happened."

Anyone who has taken a multiple choice quiz knows the answer is always the third choice, but what about the first two? The lovers thrashing on the cold sand are from Peter Benchley's Jaws, and the air-kiss with enough power to make a man blush is from Stephen King's The Stand.
