There are plenty of articles on the Internet from psychology resources that state romance novels are bad for women.  Some say these books give women unrealistic expectations when it comes to romance and can damage real-life relationships.

Those of you who like the ability to read digital material rather than  smelling the scent of the printed page, source your eBooks from a variety of sources.  Authors and publishers make those eBooks available to readers on multiple platforms.

Today while I was checking out the Amazon Best Seller list, I glanced at the book prices.  A few caught my eye, thinking they were outrageously high.  You might assume that books on sale would sell more copies and rise to the best seller list.  Apparently, that’s not the case, because many books in the top one hundred are priced far above a 99 cent price point.  How much are you willing to pay for an eBook?

Prostitution and brothels were at their heyday, and they served a  purpose to meet the needs of men both rich and poor. After all, marriage was an institution for producing children; prostitutes and mistresses were for pleasure. The brothel was a place of relaxation for men and accepted as normal practice in society.
