Little rant

Please, publishers (general but I have a clear name in mind...) if you release a story where a woman is having a lot of sex with two men, please, please, don't try to pass it as a M/M, please don't put it under the "gay/lesbian" genre... if you are really convinced that the gay romance or M/M romance is a passing fashion, and that the future is a menage between a woman and two men, so, be true to your claim, and use your "menage a trois or more" genre, and let the "poor" gay romance alone in their "reserve".

If you are wondering why I'm ranting, well, enough to say that I just read an unbelievable blurb tagged as M/M...

:-) I'm like you: first check the cover - no woman checked - second check the blurb - no female name checked - third check the tag - no "menages" warning checked! Then sometime I vouch the author: there was a new book from an author I like days ago; the story has a woman in the middle, but in the blurb it was not clear if she was in the middle of the relationship. The cover didn't help. The publisher, being almost all LGBT, didn't tag. And so I bought the book, and happily discovered that it was a full M/M, and the female was only a friend. I wrote the review and underlight the fact. People said that they had my same problem and bought the book after reading the review.
