I've read a couple of them, and not much cared for them. But if I pick one up and find what the new specs detail, I'm not getting what I'm looking for. Hell, most of the lighthearted historicals these days have more than that going on.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

If I only had a brain...
Exactly. It's as if Toys in Babeland suddenly started selling only chin massagers.

Yeah...chickenshits. I've not read it, but I don't appreciate gutlessness.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
...These are people who don't understand the meaning of "niche," huh? If it's called Black Lace, and has heretofore been known for porn, what do you think people will call it even years after it's stopped actually being porn?
If they wanted to publish less porny work, they needed to set up a separate publishing house or series name. Preferably something that does not say NAUGHTY UNDERPANTS all over it, you know?

The problem is that booksellers are refusing to carry Black Lace because it's too naughty.

Up with the sun
So a story that's just one long sex scene would be okay by them?

If I only had a brain...
As long as nobody says 'fuck'.

Black Lace, purveyors of porn for women, want only one sex scene per story
Wha....? The hell is that about? Dude, that's less than romance novels. I can vaguely understand wanting to cut back on four letter words (though frankly, I much prefer those to things like "her honeyed cavern" or whatever). But one sex scene per book? Just start a new line, y'all, don't kid yourselves.

Yeah..."White Lace" could be those.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
It surprised me to hear, because the CW is that the two growth areas in romance land are inspirationals and romantica/erotica. Cue discussion of polarized society. So I was surprised to hear about an erotica line trying to go less, well, erotic.
