Philippa Gregory is one of a number of romantic fiction writers who has penned many books set in the Tudor years.
One of her latest historical romance books, The Red Queen tells the story of the child-bride of Edmund Tudor, who, although widowed in her early teens, uses her determination of character and wily plotting to infiltrate the house of York under the guise of loyal friend and servant, undermine the support for Richard III and ultimately ensure that her only son, Henry Tudor, triumphs as King of England.

Some of the best romance books available are a chief source of enjoyment, primarily for women I hasten to add.

Quite possibly someone you’d consider an extremely unlikely member of the romantic fiction authors group is celebrity gardener and TV presenter, Alan Titchmarsh who has dipped his toe into the romance novel waters on more than one occasion.
Even while adding a further string to his bow, Alan’s romance books prove his ability to write fiction books crammed with romance, wit and adversity forming the right formula for a tremendous read!

Mills & Boon was founded by Gerald Rusgrove Mills and Charles Boon in 1908 as a general fiction publisher, although their first book was, not surprisingly, a romance. Mills & Boon published in a form and at a price that was within the reach of a wide readership.
Romance was noted to be the favourite genre and in the 1930s the company decided to concentrate on hardback romance books for adults, a policy which became increasingly successful.
Romantic fiction publishers, Mills & Boon is an unidsputed market leader in romance books for adults and have a dedicated following of readers.
They also have a book club that you may want to join and be the first to receive the best up to date titles.
They do and always have had their critics, mainly because its modern romance books are considered low-brow and formulaic, although this has also been cited as one of the reasons for their success.
There are almost 100 modern Mills & Boon novels released each month and they all cover a wide variety of romantic sub genres. Whilst retaining the familiar format we have come to expect from Mills & Boon books they do vary in style and setting and in their degree of explicitness.
Electronic publishing has allowed Mills & Boon to double its output. As of 2012, it now releases for download around 100 romance eBooks online per month and sells more eBooks than physical books.
It may be said that digital lends itself very easily to the type of content Mills & Boon produce. Readers of their romance books can finish reading one book and then quickly download the next.
Their books can be read quite quickly, providing an intense reading experience. As it's possible for readers to enjoy around 4 or 5 books in as many days, this would mean carrying a lot of them around with you. That is no longer necessary with the advent of Mills & Boon romance eBooks online. Download eBooks for eReaders at Shop4Books.
