If there’s ever a person I can claim as a staunch fan, it’s Marie. For twelve long months, she faithfully contacted me to inquire about the status of If I Were Your Woman. Marie let me publically thank you for your love and support. Smooches!!
Here is what Marie Simmons, aka Romance Fan in Baton Rouge, shared with me about reading romance . . . .
Why did you decide to read romance novels?
For my sanity! I’m a native New Orleanian but I’ve been in Baton Rouge since graduating from college in ‘88. We had a house full of hurricane Katrina evacuees that took over the television. A male co-worker gave me a romance anthology, Living Large, to help me escape the chaos we were living thru. I’ve been hooked ever since.
What are the elements of a great romance for you as a reader?
I enjoy strong leading characters that display great passion for not only each other but for their entire life. The romance between the leading characters needs to be part of the story and not the only thing that’s happening.
What is the hardest part of reading a romance/the easiest for you?
I enjoy continuity series and waiting on the next release is excruciating. I’ll go as far as waiting for all of the books to be released before reading any of the books.
What is the most rewarding thing about being a romance reader?
Regardless of what I’m reading, I enjoy the adventure of being transported to a different location. But what’s great about romance is the guaranteed happily ever after. I like the larger than life heroes and heroines. I live in the real word, I read for the fantasy.
Join the celebration and show Marie some love by listening to her review of IF I WERE YOUR WOMAN!
