I seriously thought LJ Smith was me, my sister, and our cousin's secret guilty pleasure.
She's got quite a cult following that still thrives on the internet -- her section on FFn.net, for instance, is impressive for someone who a) was never a bestseller and b) hasn't put out a new book in, what, over a decade?
She just satisfies the craving for cheese in so many of us. ;)
I think you're right -- the soulmate thing worked best whenever the people involved either denied it or didn't get immediate vindication from it -- i.e., falling into each other's arms immediately afterward with "It's you! It's been you all along!*" so forth etc.
*Listen, LJS, if you're lurking and reading -- I wanted to like "Dark Angel," okay? But I couldn't. Because it sucked.
