I have actually found often more unique story lines in harlequin historicals than other publishers for some reason.
Its Avon that seems to be a lot of sameness now.
But again, I don't read the contemporary category lines much at all. Mostly because I don't read a lot of contemporary romances. I have problems finding good ones there from anyone. They are either serials, yuck, or very short, or billionaire bdsm.
At least with the harlequin lines, readers know what they are getting and there are a lot of different "feelings" to choose from.
I recently got hooked on a amazing series by Carina, the Monster Haven series by R.L Naquin. I find it fresh, quirky and different. Price is right too. 
Choices are good for readers and romance readers want those choices. |
That monster haven one is on my wish list. Thanks for the rec.
