Love Stories Heat Up

When Love Sizzles and Love in Strange Places Also New from BroadLit

LOS ANGELES (1/21/13)What was love really like in the 1970s? Women were marching forward in the Women’s Movement, “bringing home the bacon,” exercising their newfound sexual freedom, and still searching for true love.


This month, BroadLit, a publishing company putting a new spin on romance through a variety of products and distribution channels at TruLOVEstories.com,  introduces Bedroom Roulette, the latest book in the TruLOVE Collection series, guest edited by romance book expert Ron Hogan.

Bedroom Roulette is a collection of 13 love stories focused on the changing lives, loves and careers of women in the ‘70s.  It’s hard to resist these tantalizing tales with titles like:

  • “Bedroom Roulette – The Game Suburban Housewives Play”
  • “We Joined Our Teenage Daughter at a Free-Love Farm”
  • “The Night My Husband Demanded an Orgy”
  • “Why Not? We Used To Be Married”

Hogan, the primary host of the monthly Lady Jane’s Salons, producer of various literary events throughout New York City, and one of the first people to launch a book-related website, www.Beatrice.com, provides a revealing look at various kinds of love stories from the early 1970s in America. This was the period in our cultural history when the “countercultural” trends begun in the 1960s became increasingly mainstream. Topics that were previously taboo were now being discussed in “polite” society. The sexual revolution was in full swing and the feminist movement was taking hold.

“The more time you spend really digging into these stories, the more surprises you’ll find.  Though some of the women in these stories meekly accept the blame for all of the hardships they suffer, other women can be seen taking charge of their lives, refusing a relationship with a man unless they can have it on equal terms,” says Hogan.

Pop culture is alive and well in Bedroom Roulette as it gives readers a “fly on the wall” peek at a pivotal moment in American cultural history. Many of the stories included in this TruLOVE Collection will surprise—and possibly shock–the reader.

“Working with Ron Hogan on this Collection was a pure delight. He has a keen eye for a great story and has written wonderful introductions for each one that help the reader understand the times in which these stories were originally written,” says Nancy Cushing-Jones, chief publishing officer. “The themes in all of BroadLit’s TruLOVE Collections are as relevant today as they were when these stories were first written.”

In addition to Bedroom Roulette, which is being published January 29, 2013, BroadLit has also recently published two other new TruLOVE Collections: When Love Sizzles and Love In Strange Places. When Love Sizzles tells stories about women who attempt to put some sizzle in their sex lives through a variety of different techniques from role-playing to popping out of a cake at a bachelor party!

What is the perfect place to find true love? Would you believe you can find true love in your kitchen at the end of a horrible day, as a passenger in a semi-truck, and even when you’re vomiting because you are pregnant with another man’s baby! Love In Strange Places contains an amazing collection of very surprising, unique stories that will keep the reader turning pages.

All three of the collections in this series are now available to purchase for $4.99 (ebook) and for $14.99 (paperback) on all major e-retailers, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, as well as on AllRomance.com and on BroadLit’s own branded romance hub TruLOVEstories.com.

All BroadLit books are distributed by Perseus Books’ Constellation Services. The first two original novels in its Second Acts series, Sleeping with Dogs and Other Lovers and Starstruck Romance and Other Hollywood Tails are now available for purchase on all major e-retail sights. Also available for purchase is the first novel in its Infinity Diaries series, Aris Returns: A Vampire Love Story. The second novel in this series, Aris Rising: The Court of Vampires, will be published April 2, 2013.

The next TruLOVE Collection, Women Undone: Sex, Love and Money in the ‘80s, is scheduled for publication February 5, 2013, and the ninth and tenth collections in the TruLove Collection series, Mothers in Love: The Good, the Bad, and the Unbelievable and Love Is a Battlefield: Soldiers and the Ones Who Love Them, are scheduled to be published on April 9, 2013 and April 30, respectively.  All three of these collections will also be edited by Ron Hogan.
