They sent
They sent this one with my SRS shipment. I'm sure I'll be reading it soon. Trying to keep from stacking so many up this year.

Which one did they send with the SRS shipments?
Just curious . . . I know it can't be this one b/c it's from '01 but have they recycled the name? I know they're trying to promote the medicals -- we've been discussing it over in the meds thread -- so what ARE they including with other lines' subscriptions?

Penni .......
the book I received in my Blaze and Intrigue subscription is "His Very Special Nurse" by Margaret McDonagh ... its a release from Aug. 07 .... there's a blitz on right now to encourage people to try the Harlequin Medicals and the Harlequin Romances ...... in the hand out that came with my subscriptions, it says that the McDonagh book is free for all subscribers now, and if they'd like to try the Medicals they'd get two of the Feb. 08 releases as complimentary gifts
Perhaps Deb really meant the McDonagh book? ..... Christa said she also got this book with her Desires and Harl. Americans
I love that they are doing a blitz .... I just wish they'd change the format to large print so that every print reader could read them easily ..... I find in the latest releases the print seems even smalller ... and they've made a few changes to the font that makes it not so easy to read too, I've found ..... I know I can pull out the good ole 1.25 drug store readers if I have to, but heck, I rarely have to put on readers to read a book .... grrrr

I read this author's Crocodile Creek 24 Hour Rescue book and loved it. I know I have one more by her in my TBR too.

Small print
Katherine, I'm Maggie Kingsley and write med romance for HMB and the reason the print in some books is smaller is because some of us write long, and some write short, but all our books have to fit into 181 or so pages so if an author's book is around 50K it is given normal size print, if the author has written the max of 55K - or whisper it sometimes 56K - the print is made smaller to get it all into 181 pages. It's a standing joke in my family that Maggie Kingsley readers all must wear bottle top glasses because I tend to write long.
Great to know that the meds are getting some exposure over the pond. Let's hope it's the start of something big!

Medicals
That is interesting about the print and the length of the medicals. I am glad that the don't force exact word counts. One thing I am finding with the word count is that regardless of word count, so far, the medicals are very fast-paced reads for me. maybe it is the medical scene or the action scenes but I read them much faster than some of the other short romance lines. I like that. Of course, I like variety too so it doesn't mean i want the other lines to change. Rather, I like intermixing the medicals with reads from other lines. It seems to make me appreciate both more.
