The Book Breaks app provides romance readers with a handy menu for customizing their reading experience. Waiting in line for a coffee?

BookBreaks is an ingeniously useful new access point for Harlequin.com’s tremendously popular Online Reads content—serialized romance stories with new chapters available daily or weekly.
