First Post! 

It's always exciting to start a new blog, especially about something you love. I love romance novels. Be it a literary classic like good ol' 'Pride and Prejudice' or a 1p Kindle bargain bodice ripper entitled something like 'Taming the Lord.'  There's just something about the romance genres that speaks to me - the daring heroes and heroines, the feisty and witty repartee between the protagonists or even the crooked villian who's always lurking in the background *ahem* Wickham *ahem* - and so dedicating this little, although insignificant, blog to my favourite genre is in my own way paying homage to all those lovely novelists, both male and female, that labour over their computers day and night to get all that steamy smut to print!

 And so, without further ado, I'm going to give you the lowdown on the reviews. I'll pretty much review/rant about whatever I'm currently reading (the good and the bad) and I'll try to give my honest opinion about the books. However, if there's any requests on what I should read or review, I'll take them on board and probably review them too. It doesn't matter if it's not specifically a romance book with a muscled man holding a broadsword on the front cover, I'll still do my best to read them and comment. Just because this is all about romance doesn't mean the other genres don't get a look in!

I'll also give a rating of smut, sexual scenes and tomfoolery, just in case you are of the faint heart. Heaven forbid someone should faint on my account. It will be on a level of intensity and who it's aimed at, i.e. teens, mature, etc. I'll also give a little bit of the plot, via the blurb, at the beginning of the review, just to get you guys into the mooooood. But, most importantly, I'll be commenting on the style of writing, the believability of the characters and the feeling of the book. I think that the feeling the book leaves you with once you've closed that last page or swiped for the last time, is the soul of the book. If I'm bereft leaving those characters and their lives behind then I know I've read a good novel. If not, then I'm glad I left it behind.

So, that's the end of my first post. Just a little warming up before the first review which I'll aim to do weekly, but heavens knows if I'll hit those deadlines! You never know, I might be carried off my a rugged Highlander!
