I’ve put up quite a few of the new and upcoming Harlequin Blaze romances. You can check them them out and buy or preorder them if you want.

I’ve updated my Lora Leigh book list. With the change over from static pages to a database, I just didn’t get all the books for some authors entered and I’m working on them a bit at a time. However, now I’ve got a great many Lora Leigh books listed with plans to add more of Lora Leigh’s books.

There are many more authors I need to get up to date on the site and if you have a preference for who you want updated first just let me know.

I’m excited to be getting the erotic romance lists all updated. :-) Here’s to many more happy book updates.

Here’s an interesting bit of information. If you enjoy reading the Harlequin Blaze books as ebooks, you can get them as a bundle by the month of publication. It’s a great way to save a few dollars (and trees). :-)

In July, expect a little something different with Blaze. Hope Tarr’s Bound to Please is a historical romance! Set in 1460, this one is a first for the Blaze line. If you want to get in a preorder for this special book, here’s a direct link.

Bound To Please (Harlequin Blaze)

I’ll be treating the historicals as a miniseries within the blaze line, so you’ll be able to find all the historicals on one page. However, I won’t be adding the July books until later (but definitely this week). Happy reading!

The May books from Blaze have been added to the site.

Included are new additions to a lot of the recent Blaze miniseries.

• Miniseries: Dangerous Liaisons
• Miniseries: Men To Do
• Miniseries: It’s All About Attitude
• Miniseries: After Hours
• Miniseries: Forbidden Fantasies
• Miniseries: The White Star

If you’re following any of these miniseries, don’t miss the new additions.

I’ve done updates to the Harlequin Blaze 2006 book list for the new books for March and April. You can find the list here: Blaze 2006 books.

I’ve noticed several new installments in some of the Blaze miniseries, so if you’re following any miniseries in particular, you’ll want to check them out.

There are new books in these miniseries:

• Miniseries: 24 Hours: Island Fling
• Miniseries: The Wrong Bed
• Miniseries: It’s All About Attitude
• Miniseries: The White Star
• Miniseries: After Hours

As mentioned in this blog post, Harlequin is changing the word count lengths for some of their lines, including Harlequin Blaze. Blaze used to ask that manuscripts be 70,000 to 75,000 words long (and the Blaze guidelines on the eHarlequin website still show this number).

Does this mean our Blaze books are going to get shorter?

I find it interesting to see that Blaze may soon be near the same length as the former Temptation line.

I’ve always thought Blaze killed Tempation. Is Harlequin now trying to pull in some of the readers who preferred the shorter Temptations over the Blaze books?

It’s funny to note that the readers’ complaints about the too small print have translated not into bigger print and more pages, but to less story. Ah, how lovely it is to see someone address our complaints….
