There's only so much "country" near me, considering the population density of the East Coast and Mid-Atlantic. But I grew up in a relatively rural area; while development has encroached, I don't know if I could go back to it. I've lived in a city for more than 10 years, minutes from anything I could possibly want or need. My problem with romance novels that glorify country living is that they do so without thinking, without examining the pros and cons of both options, and instead vilify urban living.
