Anyone out there read Harlequin<\/strong><\/a> category books? I have for eons and a day. Okay, so I’m curious even if you don’t read them, which line do you read or would more closely suit your current reading habits. I’m even going to make the voting easier for you by giving you a brief description of the line.<\/p>\n

January 2011<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Harlequin Presents<\/strong> – Sensual. Powerful, rich and oftentimes, ruthless heroes. Lots of marriages of convenience and pregnancies. Exotic locations.<\/p>\n

Harlequin Presents Extra<\/strong> – Think Harlequin Presents<\/em><\/strong> with more sass and a younger voice.<\/p>\n

Harlequin Historical <\/strong>–\u00a0 On the whole, tend to be not as sensual as single title historicals but have a broader range of time periods: western, regency, medieval etc.<\/p>\n

Harlequin Blaze<\/strong> – Think highly sensual red-hot stories. More emphasis on the physical relationship.<\/p>\n

Harlequin Intrigue<\/strong> – Romantic suspense so think intrigue, psychological thrillers, murder mystery and romance.<\/p>\n

Harlequin Romance<\/strong> – Pure romance in a sweeter less sensual way the majority of the lines.<\/p>\n

Harlequin Superromance<\/strong> – Longer book. Stories closer to real life. Usually less sensual than Presents.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Kimani Press<\/strong> – Contemporary African American love story. The story ranges are very broad.<\/p>\n

Silhouette Desire<\/strong> – Wealth, beauty,\u00a0 emotional intensity and desire are the cornerstones for this line. Strong conflict and like Presents, lots of marriages of convenience, secret pregnancies.<\/p>\n

Silhouette Romantic Suspense<\/strong> – Romantic suspense. Romance is central to the plot.<\/p>\n

Silhouette Special Edition<\/strong> – Sensuality level can range from sweet to sizzling. Think a deeper more emotional Harlequin Romance.<\/p>\n

Steeple Hill Love Inspired<\/strong> – Contemporary Inspirational romance. Faith driven stories dealing with family and community.<\/p>\n
