Three years ago, I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting veteran reviewer, Pricilla Johnson. Since then, our bond has strengthened and we’re as close as two blood sisters could ever be. So when she agreed to review my latest release, If I Your Woman, I was absolutely thrilled.
Here is what Pricilla, aka ‘Cilla – the book maniac from Baltimore, MD, shared with me about reading romance . . . .
Why did you decide to read romance novels?
I am late bloomer when it comes to reading romance novels. I began reading them after i discovered Beverly Jenkins. I discovered that finally there were a lot of romance novels with characters that looked like me.
What are the elements of a great romance for you as a reader?
Elements of great romance – female and a great hero. He doesn’t have to be gorgeous (even though that helps), but he has to be considerate, loving respectful. A story line that is realistic and not so-o predictable.
What is the hardest part of reading a romance/the easiest for you?
The hardest part is the formula many authors use ( in know it is standard) but it gets to be old and it doesn’t hold an interest long.
What is the most rewarding thing about being a romance reader?
The most rewarding part is the adventures, introduced to many different types of romance authors and readers
Join the celebration and show ‘Cilla some love by listening to her review of IF I WERE YOUR WOMAN.
Great interview, ladies! I agree with your answers for the best and worst part, ‘Cilla!
I agree with Gwyneth, your response were great and your review of LaConnie’s book is wonderful!
Hi Ms. Cilla -
I too am a late bloomer to romance.
And you are so right Dr. Laney really brought and those Baptiste men are something else.
See you in a couple of weeks.
