Yes, I do that, too, Vicki. I read Branded Woman by Wade
Miller (which I've exaulted on here before ;) ) and had Jerry
(my husband) read it after I finished. He was able to put
himself in Cay's place and says he was really uneasy at the
end (I won't give anything away). He said that he
automatically does it, too. I've been reading since I was
really little and so many books have male protags that it
isn't even a conscious effort for me to put myself in his
place, like you said, if I'm caught up in it. I'm not sure if
guys feel the same...well, boys, what do you say?
