They, do, except when they make the sort of comments like I had on Blue & Jessie's story - which made clear the reviewer didn't GET IT! There are readers who don't want sex before love, and don't want sex used as a weapon, and who don't want sex unless it's all about emotion - when some of the best sex is all about the heat and the body parts and that DRIVES the emotion!
But then, I think too much like a man anyway, LOLOL!
In those cases, I just look at the reviews and shrug. If a story isn't a reviewer's cuppa, nothing an author says to justify why she wrote the story her way is going to make a hill o' beans!
