Thank (blame?) 50 Shades, I guess, but apparently the soft core ladies’ porn e-book market is booming.
Cosmopolitan magazine and Harlequin will publish a line of romances called Red Hot Reads, a series that “will present independent, adventurous women in contemporary settings and feature fast-paced plots, great dialogue and compelling romance.” The snappy eBooks will all be about 30,000 words apiece.

Yay? I dunno, for my money I’d rather read Best Women’s Erotica or something, but I doubt I am Cosmo’s target market, seeing as how I am old and the kind of feminist that takes the fun out of everything.
