Blackmailed for Her Baby!

A woman on the bus was reading this Mills & Boone novel; same cover image, too, but flipped and cropped. I have to admire fantasticfiction.co.uk's cross-referencing - the "similar books you might like" list at the bottom includes titles like The Greek Tycoon's Baby Bargain and The Fiorenza Forced Marriage. I sense a sub-genre here.

I've been hearing about these for a while. Frankly, it's like the dirty-minded little girls I used to hang with/be finally took over Harlequin, and injected all the stuff they thought should be in there into what were previously the world's most boring and predictable romances...except either they're still eleven and under or their audiences are, so the writing suffers exponentially. Very odd indeed.
