A2W- All the (worst) HARLEQUINS (& ish) I've read 

Read & Rated List #3: These are among the (IMO) worst Harlequin style romances I've read (they may be actual HARLEQUINs, but I'm including other publishers).  While many seek to reinforce the fallacy that, despite RL statistics, BBV (Bed Before Vows) and superficial lust regularly become eternal love, and that premarital pregnancies are a reliable way to a lasting relationship, to earn a place on this list stories will include other distastefulness to an untenable extreme as well. Be warned.

2 chaps-[2*] - The art is decent and the guy is better than a lot of Harliquin guys, and, of course, he's ready to 'be responsible', but seriously, why do so many of these novels base their foundation on "true love" starts with uncontrollable rut as if people - of either sex - who know better and even have reasons to restrain themselves, had the morals and self-control of animals. Waste of artist's talents.
