Yes, that's really the topic-- I really thought about harlequin romance today. Now before you judge me, I can honestly say I have never read a harlequin romance novel. I thought of it today because the morning radio show that I listen to on my drive to work in the morning was having a contest. They had a bunch of guys come in and attempt to be the next "Fabio"/ cover of a harlequin romance novel with Kris (one of the morning D.J.'s).
This got me thinking (and after I voted on which guy I thought should win as the contest is judged by listeners and the photos taken are on-line at www.hot995.com). Who was the person that came up with harlequin romance novels in the first place? These bodice ripping, lust filled stories have to have a background of how they came to be. So I looked.
Harlequin is a book publisher with its head office in Toronto Canada. They are a division of Torstar Corporation a Canadian Media Corporation. Quoted from their site, "The series business, the foundation of Harlequin's success, offers women a range of romantic reads from traditional pure romance to suspense and inspirational romance."
Maybe I need to go and get one of these to read...
