Mills & Boon - just loaned my first one from the library

I've only ever heard women I know read these who are 60+ so I'm not sure if it's a sign that I'm ageing prematurely (35) or just because I'm looking for quick reads and the walls of books at the library are overwhelming to sift through.

Any good? Are they still writing them? If I enjoy them is it feasible to read the back catalogue?

I've been through the Richard & Judy Book Club back catalogue and am fully up to date on the Reese Witherspoon Book Club back catalogue, so looking for another stack to work through.

Any particularly good stories I should look out for?

There are probably millions so doing the back catalogue will take you some time.
They are great, but quite formulaic so I can only read a few in any given three month period (I read a book every week or so).

They are my guilty pleasure. I’m fond of the historical themed ones - love the escapism!

I'm 64 - it was women 60+ who read them when I was a teen :) I read a couple of them years ago - found them hilarious, and often thought about trying to write one. Hope you enjoy yours!
