Remember the news that Harlequin/Mills & Boon was launching a division in India complete with future novels set in India? From Jezebel, via the London Times online: printing begins on 4 February.
Among the first titles? Virgin Slave, Barbarian King.
Rock on! There are many wonderful novels set in India, so I’m delighted by this. And I hope some of the new romances by Indian writers make it to U.S. shores.
While I’m not sure exporting that particular title is doing Indian readers a favor (based on your review), I am glad that they are going ahead with this project. I would love to read a genre novel (or several) set in India, and I have a dear Indian friend who assures me that this will tap a huge market. More romance has to be a good thing, right?
