Harlequin Plus has shut down and no longer accepts subscribers. It stopped issuing new bundles in August 2023, closed completely on November 30, 2023, and its website no longer loads. While it ran, the service offered romance readers in the US a recurring bundle of novels from Harlequin, the long established romance publisher owned by HarperCollins. The idea was simple: instead of browsing shelves or online stores, members received a regular selection of Harlequin romance chosen for them. That suited fast readers who enjoy the familiar Harlequin style and like having the next few books ready without searching. Harlequin publishes across many romance lines, from sweet and faith based stories to romantic suspense and steamier reads, so the subscription had a large catalog to draw from. Because the service has ended, there is nothing to join, and any old links or sign up pages that still circulate should be treated with caution. Readers who miss it may want to look at what Harlequin currently sells directly or at other book subscriptions that cover romance. Specifics such as how many books came in each bundle, how titles were picked, and what it cost are no longer available from the company, so they are not covered here.
