All the Love Bytes reviewers are great and I have discovered so many great authors and books through following your site. A few facts….Amber is a full time Reading Teacher in Arizona. She is a also a full time wife, mother and she has lots of pets (5 cats, 2 dogs).
Spot on!! Thanks!!
All the Love Bytes reviewers love to read 🙂
And i know as a fact that Danielle also know as Dani lives in the Netherlands!
I have read a lot of wonderful Reviews here and because of that my wish-list gets longer and longer. All your reviewers do a wonderful job and it is very much appreciated!!
Cindy is a wonderful mom, a working woman with two jobs, a writer herself and such a fast reader I get green with envy….I have no idea how she finds the time to do reviews on top of that but I love each and every word she puts down and a good review by Cindy says go-read-it for me…
awww, thanks Birgit!
You are all wonderful but Dani likes Gin and J2O 🙂
Love Bytes reviewers are great, I love to read each of their reviews because they are all so different. And I know Donna likes HEA (because I do as well, a book without one is a waste of time for me) and she don’t like bittersweet books (I’m with her in this too). =)
That was fun reading the bios. Not sure I did this right, but below is one fact I read about each of 12 reviewers.
1.) Danielle (Dani) – lives in the Netherlands with her husband and 13-year-old daughter.
2.) Carissa – lives in the better (northern) half of California – and I totally agree that is the better half. I grew up there!
3.) Donna – her iPad is named “My Precious” – omg my iPod is named that.
4.) Vicki – joined LoveBytes Reviews in early 2014.
5.) Roberta – lives in WA and is a transplant from AZ (which is where I live now).
6.) Dan – has been with his HusBear for 25 years – you go Dan!!
7.) Amber – her first m/m book was “Keeping Promise Rock” which was one of my early m/m novels as well (love that series)
8.) Kimberly – is a mother of two; one of her kids is an “obese” cat.
9.) Marieke – has two older dogs and two cats who are the masters.
10.) Cindy – is Canadian.
11.) Tara – loves sweets, but not chocolate, and especially pineapple soda.
12.) Paul – YA is his favorite sub-genre.
I LOVE Amy Lane!!!
Carissa lives in California. Thanks for another giveaway.

And ALL of the reviewers have been reading since they were small children!
Two facts have always stayed in my mind – Donna has a weakness for pretty twinks and Amber’s favourite tear-jerker was “Fall Apart” by SE Culpepper. Not sure why these two facts, out of them all, stayed with me? but they just did!
Omg, yes! They’re a definite weakness. I want to gather them in a box so I can take them out to look at whenever the urge takes me!
Ugh…it was gut wrenching….so friggin sad…..bawled my eyes out…!! Have you read it?
