So how do you feel about it?

My cats can rip bodices.

I vaguely recall reading a M&B (found in the hotel "library" I hasten to add, not bought by me) on holiday a year or two ago and it was amazingly racy!!!

Maybe, just maybe, the next tie-in could reflect the sublime as opposed to the ridiculous. How about Penguin books, a very successful publishing business and one with a rather more interesting tale to tell than Mills and Boon. You really do not think much of Gransnetters do you?

Bet they never even considered Mumsnet as a collaborator, although most M&B readers seem to be around that age. Imagine the comments!

Be still, my beating heart!

To hell in a handcart springs to mind

You'd be dead then!

I thought that too Ana. Perhaps rosesarered has taken the trouble to read one of their books and now wants her heart to be still because she has lost the will to live?

No, it's because I have caught sight of one of those hunky doctors/ fishermen/ lumberjacks or whatevers looking handsome and moody on the covers of those books.My late MIL used to ask me to get her the Mills and Boon books from the library.Mind you, they are probably raunchy now, smouldering looks are passe these days!
