My...Mia, thanks for asking the question and hello! My favorite setting(s) for a romance are mainly historical. Since there really isn't time travel (yet), I like to imagine and read about and travel to life and romance in a time that is not contemporary. I realize you're branching out soon into contemporary, but I don't read much contemporary romance unless there is a lot of humor in it (e.g., Jill Shalvis, Kristen Higgins, Janet Evanovich). Usually, romantic suspense is my favorite genre/setting if contemporary. I find a mystery and some action livens things up a bit. :-) jdh2690@gmail.comJan Houglandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00253192243976154166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575273532904617281.post-33560148057670443212014-01-09T18:30:42.920-05:002014-01-09T18:30:42.920-05:00Hi Mia, thanks for visiting today.
