Romantica and erotic aren't shoved down readers throats, readers are seeking it out.

Hmmmm. Yes, and editors–apparently, I really don’t have a great in with editors–are asking for hot.

It feels as if everyone is asking for hot. Look at the rise of BRAVA, the start of SPICE, the increase in the number of monthly BLAZEs, the sudden interest in erotic romance by BERKLEY and other houses, and the continued success of EC and BLACK LACE. Seems to me the readers have spoken. It's the vocal minority that should shut up for awhile. Wendy - It's the double standard that's crazy. They want respect for what they write but refuse everyone the same courtesy. I agree, Jorie. It feels as if everyone is asking for hot.
