Transparency in Romance: My Thoughts
Recently on Twitter, I posted about disclosing personal relationships between bloggers/reviewers and authors.

This is particularly relevant as we close out the year and best of/favorite lists will be released by blogs, reviewers and entertainment news sites. I think about the following questions frequently. How transparent should I be Continue Reading

Her and Cade’s relationship grew from friends to teenage sweetheart, and finally to Continue Reading

It held up the second time around and actually this time I was less annoyed by some of the things I didn’t like the first read. Here’s what worked for me: It is a marriage in trouble book, one of my favorite tropes. The dialogue is fast-paced and witty. I loved seeing the strong and supportive male Continue Reading
