Well I did and I was hooked. I read more YA novels until one day, I was looking for something more "adult" and someone had recommended J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series. needless to say, I was HOOKED after that. It was then that I needed to devour every romance book I could get my hands on, paranormal or otherwise. And I've been like that ever since!Elizabeth H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04229301738737301045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575273532904617281.post-59546337939667728252016-03-05T18:54:20.657-05:002016-03-05T18:54:20.657-05:00Happy anniversary!
