About Harlequins In General...

I think they're popular in part because they're bad but also because they have some air of "everyone's dream" to be swept off their feet by some soul mate that will support you and all your needs. But if you read the wikipedia page for Harlequin Publishing, you'll see that they were also, actually, really out of touch with their reader base even in their hey day, and then failed to adapt in time and lost popularity to a lot of other companies. So like, yeah a lot of these stories are unbelievable and the characters are recycled, garbage and boring: I'm just saying like,,, OBVIOUSLY thats true, people even thought that when this company was successful lmao.
