I thought I would do a discussion post about the penis in romance. I am pretty sure its not the first time it will be discussed in romanceland or the last. Its a very popular subject that creates huge column inches. And will continue to grow I bet! The penis, however, wasn’t always desired to [...]

I fell in love with romance after reading a Mills and Boons historical set in 1500s Spain. From that moment on, I voraciously [...]
