Why have these two not come together sooner? How about a few stats about these two companies?
More than 1 million Cosmopolitan readers bought at least one romance novel in the last twelve months. Cosmo reaches 1 in every 7 women who read romance novels. And..the Cosmo Red-Hot Reads section of the magazine is one of the most popular features. Harlequin has long been one of the leading publishers of series romance. Harlequin.com receives 7 million page views and 450,000 unique visitors per month. So it makes perfect sense that these two have come together to form Cosmo Red-Hot Reads from Harlequin.

The e-books will be short stories of 30,000 words. They're very affordable at $3.99, but if you order from Amazon.com of course they are a little cheaper. The kickoff author is bestselling author Sylvia Day. Until a couple of days ago, I had never read a book by Sylvia Day. I did attend the kickoff party for Cosmo Red-Hot Reads and I got a book signed by Sylvia Day at BookExpo America. I do own the Crossfire series but......like a lot of my books I haven't read them yet. But I'm inspired to do so after reading Afterburn. 

Afterburn is out now, but now I want to read the next book Aftershock -- which will be released in November. The first book felt like a little bit of a tease. The story is just beginning. I don't want to give away anything right now because I will be posting a review later this week. Both stories will be released as a two-in-one paperback in November.

Future stories from this new venture will include e-books by Lauren Dane, Tawny Weber,
Helen Kay Dimon, Jina Bacarr, and Sarah Morgan.

As a special treat, I have a goodie bag (courtesy of Little Bird Publicity) available for giveaway!!
