9 years wow.
Who would have thought that when I found a storyline on YouTube it would lead to all this.
By accident or perhaps it was meant to be, I stumbled upon the storyline of Luke and Noah, characters from the long time soap As The World Turns, on YouTube when, let’s say, I wasn’t at the best state mentally.
Completely obsessed, I followed the storyline and dove into a completely new world. For who don’t remember the soap or the characters you might remember it was all over the news because the storyline included the first Gay kiss on Daytime Television 🙂
Introducing me to new fandoms, new friends (shout out to my Nukies all over the world 😉 )
From the fanfiction of Luke & Noah to fanfiction of other fictional characters (shout out to the Drarry lovers out there) to the original stories.
I guess that is how it all started.
When being asked to review by a dear friend ( Hi Sid 😉 ) after refusing a couple of times he finally got me to a point that I was like ok, let’s do it.
When the time came to do more and more behind the scenes, it eventually led to me taking over the blog and changing the name to Love Bytes Reviews.
Now we are 9 years further and have seen many reviewers come and go. We have a loyal crowd of followers and the support from amazing authors in the LGTBQ+ genre and I am very proud of that.
Without every single one of them there wouldn’t be a Love Bytes for sure.
I guess off to the 10 year anniversary next year 😉
As a Thank you I am offering two $10 amazon gift cards

Great job, Dani! Love Bytes is my favorite review site.
Congrats on 9 years. I loved the Luke and Noah storyline. Thanks for giving a little insight to how you got started.
congrats and i never miss a post
I always slashed bandmates and hockey players in my head, so I was happy to find m/m romance! (As opposed to the gay fiction of the time, which, though much less dark than it had been in the past, didn’t often have HEAs…)
Congratulations!! I love your site and come by everyday.
Congrats, Dani. Here’s to more years to come. 🙂

Congrats on nine years! I discovered (and purchased 🙂 ) so many books through your blog.
I appreciate all the reviews. There are too many books published and only so much time I can read (I have to sleep sometime!). That is why I depend on Love Bytes Reviews to point out new authors to me that write amazing stories.
