Romance: When You Care Enough to Read the Very Best
Romance novels are the best-selling segment of the paperback book market in North America, and a huge portion of the e-book market, with thousands of titles published each year and $1.5 billion in annual sales. Who is reading all those books – and why? What makes a book a romance novel? And how did a woman from small-town Iowa end up a best-selling author of both contemporary and historical romances, published in 120 countries and 27 languages?
