    4 Stars Queen of Romance 15/07/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Quick Romantic Read - Low Price

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Similar storylines through books

    Mills and Boon is, in many women’s eyes, the Queen Bee of Romantic fiction. They provide short, snappy stories regarding the loves and lives of many a romantic heroine, gallant prince or dashing suitor, and have provided inspiration to many fantasies. My own experience of Mills and Boon stems from my mum’s book collection. During my teenage years, when I was delving into the mystery that is the male species, I was often found to be reading a Mills and Boon story. They offered me a quick escape into the dream of the perfect partner, and gave me hope that one day; a handsome man would sweep me ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages quick read

    Disadvantages Disadvantages loads about, so hard to sell on.

    Every month Mills and Boon ,owned by Harlequin publish 29 new titles.The topics include:Modern Romance, Tender Romance,Sensual Romance, Medical Romance and Historical Romance.It works out 6 under each one every month, which is 348 every year!! Each book is aprox 190 pages long.I can read one in about an hour and a half. Second hand book shops will try to buy them off you for about 5 pence, even the latest ones.They say it's because they have loads of them. Penny Jordan, started off just writing the short books for Mills and Boon.She now does novels for Worldwide books and Mira. All three are ... more

    Advantages Advantages ROMANTIC EASY READS

    Disadvantages Disadvantages NONE IF YOUR A ROMANTIC

    I have just recently started reading mills and boon. I had seen my gran read them years ago but i didn't think they were my kind of read. Anyway a few weeks ago my gran gave me a black bin bag full of mills and boon books to hand in to a local jumble sale. i was bored and decided to have a read at one of the books. Needless to say i ended up keeping them all and gave a donation to the jumble sale instead. The core product in the Mills and Boon brand are the five series which are published every month MODERN ROMANCE-Which is described as" One romance you'll never want to end 'Sophisticated ... more

    5 Stars Free books 17/02/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages lighthearted, quick and easy to read

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The more experienced reader may want more of a challenge

    Mills and Boon helped me rekindle my passion for books. I used to read a lot as a child, but as I got older the passion gradually disappeared, until I stumbled across an old Mills and Boon book. I got so much enjoyment from reading it that I subscribed to the Mills and Boon website (www.millsandboon.co.uk) and got 2 books free! If you don't wish to continue with your subscription you can just cancel it and you don't need to return the books or pay a penny. I have also found my love for reading again. As a born-again reader, I think that Mills and Boon are fantastic because they are so easy to ... more

    5 Stars Mills and Boon 19/06/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages They are easy to slip in your bag, they are great for relaxing with.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages They can be finished quickly and present no mental challenges.

    'Mills and Boon' when mentioned in reference to reading is often scoffed at. However I believe that they have captured the desire of a huge tranch of women when it comes to reading. I love reading Mills and Boon books as a way to relax. This means that I do not want to have to think too much about where the plot is going. While doing my A levels and my degree I loved delving into a quick romance to take my mind off of more complex problems such as mathematical equations. Mills and Boon books were what kept me sane and very happy. Especially as they cover such a wide range of topics while ... more

    5 Stars Quick review of Mills & Boon by Misash 15/07/2008
    My mum first introduced me to mills and boon as she had over 2000 of them and it got me totally addicted to reading. I used to be able to read one in just under two days they were that good!! Absolutely ideal for teenagers and they come in so many ranges including my personal favourite: historical. They are keeping up with the times by becoming a little more racier but hey, they give us girls something to dream about lol.

    5 Stars Mills and Boon my experience 30/09/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages There is always a happy ending

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The stories always repeat themselves

    I love these books they bring a meaning to the words happiness and love. You can sit and read them having a warmth inside you that you can only feel when a book truly touches your heart. The historical romance selection is a great pick if you like to use your brain as well as your heart, it selects certain images that can help you picture the scene in your head, you can hear the music and see the characters. There is always a sense of adventure in them, making it a perfect novel for the male audience as well as a female audience. The different authors bring their own fantasies into their own ... more
