Smart Bitches, Trashy Books

This is what happens when you stay up until 1 AM and get up before 7.

I thought that title read…

Mediterranean Bros., Convenient Mistress.

*G*  Harlequin Presents goes erotic.

Every time you give a title for one of these…I think you are joking. Come on, Harlequin. Mediterranean? Someone’s using the theseurus function cause corporate claimed there were too many Italians and Greeks running around…

Wait… do they all have the same title structure? I smell lots of thesaurus-abuse coming up.

They certainly look like they do. lol I was on eHarlequin last night grabbing a bunch of books and a lot of the titles were so similar that I started skipping over them until a title was unique enough to grab my attention. Then I would weed out the silly sounding summaries from what sounded interesting. I ended up with 5 in my cart. :D

It’s las dos bitches.

And I will offer a free copy of one of my books (through youse gals, natch)  to the member of the Bitchería who can prove Harlequin has a random title generator. I love this like whoa.

I just read ‘Untamed Billionaire, Undressed Virgin’.  My friend sent it to me as a joke.  I think that alone should prove the random title generator.

Sweet Baby Jesus.

I have 2 pages of notes reading this.

I’m on chapter 3.

Gawd, these are some of the clunkiest titles ever!  Did anyone else read Italian Prince, Wedlocked Wife as Italian Prince, Dreadlocked Wife?  I was picturing some kind of time travel thing with the De Medicis and a Carribbean-American heroine, but I doubt the actual work is quite that offbeat.

Also, I’m embarrassed to say that when my Work In Progress was still a Work In Planning, I actually contemplated The Secretary’s Private Dick as one of many possible titles.  Fortunately, reason intervened.

Cracks up, omg that would have been hilarious!

Hotly Bedded, Conveniently Wedded

I’d buy that LOL

Bought for the Sicilian Billionaire’s Bed is one of my fave i love when she is just a misstress. nothing to expect then it become serious. it was hot.
