Michelle writes about a new series by the author Jasmine Haynes about women who are courtesans. Really interesting thoughts on how stories about prostitutes can be empowering and even romantic. Read it here.

Head on over to H2H for Michelle's take on Jo Davis's latest sexy Firehouse romance.
I can see that I'm going to have to start a new shelf or two just for books with hot covers.
Today, I'm giving thanks for what I think is best about romance -- and wondering whether you agree, or are thankful for something else romantic instead. Gosh, I hope the post doesn't get censored.
Please join me at H2H for "The Thighs Have It!" -- Michelle Buonfiglio
The first time I bought a used book online, I felt so guilty I wrote the author to apoligize. You might be surprised by her response!

Some women -- and by some, I mean ME -- love an author who's talented in creating that most maligned, yet underrated, character from romance fiction: the bastardly hero.
Do you love him? Got an idea of why other women dig him? Please join us at "Hurts So Good" @ H2H to talk big, bad, bastardly heroes and the upcoming Brenda Joyce de Warenne read that could make you a convert to the delicious side of dastardly. -- Michelle Buonfiglio (H2H)

I do -- dare I admit it? I just read too many books to be able to afford new copies of each one. But for each book I buy used, I find a new author I like and end up buying new copies of the rest of their books.

Becke, I think many of us do at various times. Economy goes up/down for everyone. I don't know too many romance readers who don't adore shiny, new copies of fave authors' books. So in up times, most buy new. I probably shouldn't go into it in print, how we like to fondle our lovely copies, should I? : )
