New frontiers in exoticized ethnicity romance

Christmas, Texas Style: Four Texas Babies / A Texan Under the Mistletoe / Merry Texmas

Apparently Texan, along with Sheikh, is an ethnicity. Who knew!

I found this gem, along with The Australian's Housekeeper Bride, The Billionaire's Scandalous Marriage, The Blackmail Bargain, The Royal Baby Bargain, Sale or Return Bride, The Sultan's Virgin Bride, The Greek's Bridal Bargain, Bought: The Greek's Bride, The Italian's Blackmailed Mistress, The Italian Prince's Pregnant Bride, The Italian Boss's Secret Child, The Boss's Christmas Baby, One Night Baby, and Pregnancy of Revenge, on someone bookmooch inventory. In case you were wondering. No, I did not mooch.

Perhaps the ultimate romance would be The Billionaire Biracial Boss's Blackmailed Bargain Bride's Brazos Baby: Born on Boxing Day.

Not just any Scotsmen, I think - has to be a Highland laddie in a kilt (like the Dear Queen's beloved John Brown). Also, I suppose Border reivers would qualify as figures of ro-mance. The Gorbals (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorbals) is not yet (is it?) a place of exotic romance (actually I suppose it might be, given the level of historical and cultural cloo evoked by these sorts of titles).

Having been dodging elbows and staring at chest that were at eye level for me since High School, I can attest to this.

Then there's the popular "Texas: a whole 'nother planet," which used to turn up on bumper stickers around here in reaction to the official slogan, "Texas, a whole country..."
