To be fair, they publish books in a series, but I don’t think we get all the titles released by a particular line (e.g. all the Blaze titles) at the same time as you guys. Sometimes I’ve bought a Christmas novel that was published a year or two ago. Also, some of the lines are published as 2-in-1 books here, which means that the covers, etc., might be different. But I noticed that HQN has revamped their lines and covers, so some of these issues may no longer be applicable.

Kat that hurts. Not publishing the whole series? Publishing under a different line? Ouch, way to kill sales Harlequin. I mean, jeez…it’s already hard enough to find these books as it is.

how long does it take for category books to be released down under?

For bloody ever, apparently. We don’t seem to get all the titles published here, and sometimes they’re published years later (particular if it has a seasonal theme). For a while, too, we were getting some of your Blazes branded as Temptation, which made finding a particular book all that much harder. Anyway. Enough ranting.

Christmas Eve? Uhhh!

Now I love Daniel even more….*sigh*

I completely adored this book and I am looking forward to the last with Sean.

I also read ‘Putting It To The Test’ and thought it was fab as well.

I finished this today and had to come back to the review to leave a comment. Once again I’m very impressed at how well a category with its limited word count can pack such a punch as this one did. Did anyone go to a calendar to figure out what day Day 104 mentioned in the Epilogue is? I thought that a very romantic touch. It was in keeping with the way Ms. O’Reilly used dates throughout the book to give us a grounded sense of a timeline and how meaningful various dates can be in our lives. All-in-all, this is a very fine read.

I have to agree with Shannon, maybe I’ll give catagory romances a try. And use your site as a guide to avoid the “willing virgins”.
