I'm assuming you're talking about the books?

I've heard of them. One of my favorite authors wrote for them for a while, but I've never read one. Sorry.

And if you are indeed talking about the books, there's a book subforum. O:

I've read 'em, I even like a bunch of them. They've got some pretty hot sex scenes. And yes there is another type of Harlequins, some of the books have been made into movies.

I have a shelf on my bookshelf full of Harlequins (I favor Superromances).
You can find some really great books/series with Harlequin (I love Lori Handeland's books). You can also find some real losers. Honestly just know what your looking for. Like if you want books with lots of sex you should probably try Blaze books, or Historical Romances (I havent read any but the covers give them away) but if you prefer books with mabye a few to no sex scenes go for the Superromances.

...Historical Romances (I havent read any but the covers give them away)...
Don't judge a book by it's cover. ):

Sorry to sound cliched, but a lot of the covers have absolutely NOTHING to do with what's in the book. XD

Which bugs me a whole freaking lot. >_<;

Usually the covers have pictures of slaves laid across the bed with a big hulky man over them taking off their clothes, and they have titles like "Her Master".
I'd be very shocked if the book wasnt full of sex. >>

I know! It makes me so mad, so many books have stupid covers that tell you NOTHING about the book.

I didn't say it wouldn't have sex. But it's usually not quite as...uh, vulgar?...or frequent?...as the covers suggest?

But I've never read a Harlequin, so I'm not sure what they're like. XD

I really with I could find an example, because some of them are so stupid, they're funny.

But what I really hate is when they have people on the front who don't look like the characters in the book. DX

Most of the covers on my books fit well with the characters.
I always love it when they give you how the main characters look because the guys are always so sexy xD.
Must be why main males are always my favorite over the main females...

Half the time I think the guys on the covers are ugly. O 3o

Or it's like "You don't look like the picture I have in my head so you can just go 'way."

I luck out in that the character I really fall in love with arnt on the covers.
So I can just make my own image of them in my head. The others that are on the covers, I can either ignore them, or the guy is so hot it doesnt bother me.
I havent seen too many ugly ones on Superromance overs.
