In every book store of any mall, there is a special tiny rack where you can see the small, thin, blue or pink colored book, with a impossibly handsome and one of the most beautiful girl in a romantic posture.
A pretty girl, with ear phones , a cute spectates on her eyes, dressed in colorful top and tight pair of smart jeans with designer shoes, sitting in a coffee shop, lost in a whole different word, a pretty smile on her face and eyes on a small book !
Still no guess, yes, it is Mill & Boons, the king , queen, No actually Goddess of the romantic books !!
I have been introduced to this world by my aunt, she was a doctor and with those heavy medical books, she had many copies of this treasures too. I was in 6th grade, couldn’t understand the book at that time , but once I joined college , I gradually got addicted to it.
There has been a golden history of the publication, founded in 1908 by Gerald Rusgrove Mills and Charles Boon in UK. You can read the whole thing on wikipedia about its criticism mainly because of repeating plots, the inevitability of their happy endings, and a simple writing style.
Now, who doesn't want a smile, a dream, happiness, imagination, We all do , right? It just serves the purpose. If one is hungry one eat, one is thirsty one drinks, one the hurt one cries, one wanna imagine romance and a perfect life one does. !! What is wrong with it? Nothing, its just lies in others mind, if one person is realistic and practice not necessarily other should also be the same. And Their main target is girls, they say its nothing in her life , so she read it. Girls are kind, soft and sweet in nature, and they do imagine the world to be a better place to live and also try for it, unfortunately in today's time its not successful but they can use other means to experience it, and that is those novels. A girl experiences all the phases of her life passed or yet to be passed in the 200 pages of book, with those characters she imagines herself, and thanks to the writers she is never betrayed, broken hearted or disappointed, yet she is more hopeful towards her life and even she doesn't get she put all her goof efforts to make it one. There are thousands of girls who imagines the or partners in Evey single line, pictures him and love him, it obviously set some higher expectation to him but its not an impossible of illogical thing to fulfill. If you want the queen , you have to behave life a King first, fair enough? Some people even says girls can not watch a porn but read the stuff, and M&B is full of physical contacts. Wow, now as we all know the things are obvious and part of life, unavoidable, what is better , to see anyone doing some rubbish? or imagining only you special on in the situation? Even if the fact is true, still she imagines her special one and not like that dirty stuff which everybody know serves what purpose. Now again, A simple distraction from the current world, which gives you smile , hope and Chance to create you own little perfect world, or being in the real world, with out any hope of getting it better because you have no inspiration? Whatever, opinion differs from person to person but the truth is LOVE is eternal, its the things like birth and death, shall always be there and we all shall be affected by it and shall love the things which teaches us to believe in it . Well, they have various series, Passion , romance, morden etc etc for various kinds of stories - read http://www.millsandboon.com/
