    Thanks for the reviews – I usually don’t read reviews of books I know I’m reading anyway until afterward, but it helps with new to me authors

    Hi, Roberta. It is good to get to know something about you. I started young as well, but I moved to romance later on… My first love was, and always will be, fantasy.
    Thank you very much for your reviews! 🙂

    Hello Roberta, my reading of choice like yourself has been the romance genre for the last 50 years, the last 10 almost exclusively mm. I’m right up there with you on the cliffhanger thing, I know a lot of readers love them, me, not at all. I look forward to more reviews and shenanigans from you all.

    Thanks for your reviews and background. I too like my romances with some edge, but I didn’t start with romance, but went the other way, gradually picking up romance as I got into gay fiction.

    I love to read reviews and rely on them to introduce me to new authors! I’ve made a practice of reviewing all the books I read on Amazon and Goodreads, since I’ve learned how important it is to published authors. I’ve also been lucky enough to read ARC’s for several authors and I am a Beta Reader for another one. Life doesn’t get better than escaping into the mind of someone else! I look forward to all story lines, except horror and extreme BDSM, and HEA’s make my heart beat a little faster. Thanks for all you do!

    Happy anniversary! I follow everyone’s reviews here because… well, you’re pretty honest in your tastes and that’s something I appreciate. Because the lack of info in reviews about the story is what makes me not to give them a chance. I also dislike cliffhangers pretty much.

    Thank you for your reviews at Love Bytes, Roberta. And thanks for sharing your personal reading beginning and the next journey. We each have different experience and taste in books, and I’m glad to know this genre (still lots of reading to catch up, though!).

    Hi Roberta, thanks for the post. I have always had my head buried in a book since I was young – The Famous Five in those long off days!!
    I like a bit of murder mystery in my reads and paranormal generally not a favourite!

    Thanks for sharing your reading experience with the rest of us! It’s really great to have a blog like lovebytesreviews, where I can go to get inspiration in a time, where so many new books are released that you don’t really know what to read next. So yeah, while blurbs, author names and cover art are good indicators whether I might like a book, reviews like yours sometimes are the one thing that help me decide whether I will buy the book or not.
