Nah, there shouldn't be s at the end - taken it off now - but the sentence don't look or sound right without 'need be'. Tis like writing a poem innit - has to flow.

In fact, looking at it further (and Googling it) 'needs be' is fine.

Re: Night Master

Reminiscent of Alan Titchmarsh's style, if he can do it so can you!
More of a "swashbustler" or "dark" psychological crime fan meself, but, have been into Mills & Boon in the past. Good luck!

Re: Night Master

I think it's good solid Mills & Boon stuff, loved by millions of women and despised by most men, depending on their persuasion. My missus used to love all that type of thing, some women read this and are transported into some magical wonderland where every man is a millionaire with a body like Adonis in a lioncloth, it's all harmless escapism and if one can make a living out of churning it out why not.

I'm sure if my missus made the effort she could turn her head too, but she's a lazy old devil.

For Mills and Boon it has a fighting chance MKJ - I have certainly read worse. Just don't start wearing pink and calling yourself 'Barbara' !

Oh God that woman!, I always wanted to grab her by the scruff of the neck and put her head under a tap to see what she really looked like, if there was ever a case of makeup making a person look worse it was on her.
