NEW: It’s not just readers that suffer due to Harlequin’s mismanagement of the' Heated Rivalry' books. Reid misses out on royalties, & booksellers miss out on commissions—which is especially painful during the holiday season when many small businesses make the bulk of their money.

everyone's devouring the new TV series, so why can't people buy a copy of the book the show is based on?

Great thread!
Buckle in, we’re doing Romance 101 - Heated Rivalry edition. This is for all the folks showing their ignorance about what Heated Rivalry is doing. Note: Very little of this is my original thoughts. These things are Known.
