Mills & Boon ~ The Harlequin Connection
This list came about because of me Mum, She was never without her Mills and Boon romance novels. My home (mothers home) was filled with boxes of these paperback, steamy, prequels to the 'Fifty Shades of Grey'. "Mills & Boon is a romance imprint of British publisher Harlequin UK Ltd. It was founded in 1908 by Gerald Rusgrove Mills and Charles Boon as a general publisher. The company moved towards escapist fiction for women in the 1930s. In 1971, the publisher was bought by the Canadian company Harlequin Enterprises, its North American distributor based in Toronto, with whom it had a long informal partnership. The two companies offer a number of imprints that between them account for almost three-quarters of the romance paperbacks published in Britain. Its print books are presently out-numbered and out-sold by the company's e-books, which allowed the publisher to double its output.
The publisher has been criticized for books that are considered low-brow and formulaic, although this has also been cited as one of the reasons for their success. Feminists have pilloried Mills & Boon novels as misogynistic rape fantasies, even as hate speech, and condemned novels as responsible for poor sexual health and failed relationships among their readers, as quoted from wiki." The following list is Harlequin's collection of made for TV and DVD movies based on its books, enjoy.
