text: The Dare team loves humour! Especially clever and witty dialogue that has us laughing at our desks. One tip would be to watch the way you approach humour to make sure the overall tone of the story doesn’t drift too far from what we’re looking for. 🙂 Thanks for your question!
  Are we obligated/in contract with Harlequin Dare if a full or partial is requested from a Blitz submission?
  Two questions: if you are using a real location, is it ok to include real restaurants, hotels, organizations, etc. as part of the setting? Or should those be made up?
  If the setting is a state where marijuana is legal, is it ok for the hero/heroine to use to enhance their sexual satisfaction?
  Hi Liz, while that does sound intriguing, we don’t want to feature drugs in the books (can be part of a backstory or side plot though). But you can absolutely refer to real places within a city! The more details the more we feel like we’re there! The only thing to watch for would be that you’re not slandering any real businesses or people in the process (i.e. if they go to a real restaurant and see a rat or something). 🙂 Thanks for your questions!
