Can anyone recommend a raunchy Mills & Boon?

The raunchier the better imo!

For our next book group we're all going to read a M&B of our choice.

I can't wait, I haven't read one before!

Do M&B do raunchy?

smittenkitten · 12/11/2009 20:46

erm...do you want porn? I'm not sure mills and boon do raunchy. try looking at black lace on amazon. Not sure this is a book club thing either?

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 12/11/2009 20:47

I believe so.

There are different and more dirtier modern collections apparantly.

I have no idea what the different collections are called though - no doubt something very lame

No I don't want porn

What do you mean by not sure this is a book club thing either?

Am I being told off for lowering the tone of a high brow topic?

Look in WHSmiths- they looked pretty raunchy on the shelf! lol

Olihan · 12/11/2009 20:54

Black Lace are definitely NOT book club material (not unless you can not be embarrassed). They are pure erotica and the storyline comes very much behind the sex!

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 12/11/2009 20:57

We would discuss anything at Book Group, well I know the majority of us would anyway.

Good pun olihan - pmsl

Mills and Bang?

Heated · 12/11/2009 20:59

Am intrigued to learn they do indeed to raunchy M&B spice

E.g. At the Argentinean Billionaire's Bidding

I want a job making up M&B book titles

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 12/11/2009 21:01

'On The Orders of the Swedish Attache'

Heated · 12/11/2009 21:05

In the M&B Desire section this month there is Do Not Disturb Until Christmas/Black Sheep Billionaire, or how about
Pregnant on the Upper East Side?/The Billionaire in Penthouse B

Don't know about you but am starting to sense a theme

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 12/11/2009 21:06

I can't find that one Tidey.

They reckon a lot of well known authors have written for Mills & Boon before they were famous.

Fuuny you should say that Heated.

One of the reasons we are all going to read a different M&B title is to see if they really are that formulaic. It seems they probably are. Just some have more shagging in than others.

Will I bumping into you by the M&B in Waterstones tomorrow?

The Rich Billionaire With Sacks of Money Who Owns A Mansion.

Is there one called that, because I bet it would sell.

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 12/11/2009 21:22

he he

Do you reckon there is a M&B in all of us?!

OP posts:
Tidey · 12/11/2009 21:36

I should imagine they're actually quite hard to write, because i know if I tried, I would immediately get into a silly mood and make it as cliched and melodramatic as I could. All very tongue-in-cheek. Which now sounds rude. You see what I mean? I would be throwing innuendo around like a loon.

ibangthedrums · 29/11/2009 01:15

I was a bit obsessed with M&B as an impressionable teen when I should have been actually going out and snogging boys/drinking cider etc.

Anyway, they are all basically the same. Man usually rich and arrogant. Woman is younger, often needs money and in the "traditional" ones they are either virgins or if not they may have had sex with the hero at some point earlier.

She dislikes him, he wants to have a relationship and tries to get there through any number of convoluted means, E.g I will give you the money for your Father's heart op if you marry me. Obviously, all ends happily.

At the time I always thought the women needed a good kick up the bum - they all seemed so wet!

Almost tempted to read one. Can I join your book club?

Brink · 29/11/2009 01:49

i work in a book shop, once we had a delivery of mills and boons and my ELDERLY boss had to call out the titles for me..

The Rich Doctor needs a Mother for his children
The Sheikh who Bought his Virgin Bride
Virgin loves Landowner etc

we were both so

there was about 50 of the bloody things
