Beyond Heaving Bosoms: The Smart Bitches' Guide to Romance - Page 2

Calling all romance readers! These are all the romances mentioned in the guide to the romance genre by Sarah Wendell and Candy Tan, founders of Smart Bitches, Trashy Books. Some of these are the first in series they mention.
Not all are recommended, not by a long shot, but please take special care to avoid anything by Cassie Edwards (especially Shadow Bear).
