Founder of the Harlequin Junkie blog, Sara, is a self-professed Happily Ever After junkie, who loves to read and thrives on every aspect of the romance genre. She and some other junkies are the book reviewers for this blog, which includes every type of dreamy romance novel you can imagine.
Harlequin Junkie has established itself as one of the most comprehensive and beloved destinations for romance book enthusiasts. Despite its name suggesting a focus solely on Harlequin titles, the site covers an impressively broad spectrum of romance subgenres from contemporary to historical, paranormal to romantic suspense. The review team provides detailed, thoughtful critiques that help readers make informed choices, and the site's regular giveaways and author spotlights create genuine community engagement. The sheer volume of content can feel overwhelming to newcomers, and the site design could benefit from modernization, but these are minor quibbles. For dedicated romance readers seeking reliable recommendations and a welcoming community, HJ delivers consistently excellent coverage of the genre.
