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.

Beverly is a woman after my own heart—she’s a romance-a-holic, too! Our paths crossed when we both became members on the LiveLaughLoveandBooks yahoo group. Since then, she’s become one of my most avid fans. Let me take this time to publicly thank Beverly for her love and support. Smooches!

Here’s what Beverly, aka BeachLover, shared with me about reading romance . . . .

Why did you decide to read romance novels?
I enjoy reading about positive love relationships.

What are the elements of a great romance for you as a reader?
Strong hero and heroine while doing well before they meet by getting together they are even better.
A secondary storyline and secondary characters that often preview an upcoming story (yes, I prefer romance series) and a great sense of location.

What is the hardest part of reading a romance/the easiest for you?
I would say the hardest part is if a romance is part of the series waiting for the next book in the series to be published. The easiest part is that it is a great way to relax after a stressful day.

What is the most rewarding thing about being a romance reader?
All of the wonderful friends I have made – readers and authors. I cannot think of a more awesome group of people than romance readers and authors.

Join the celebration right now and show Beverly some love by listening to her review of IF I WERE YOUR WOMAN!
