About Romance Reader

Hi Romance Peeps! My name is Teresa and I am a self-proclaimed romance aficionado with a BA in English and PR. My “real” job involves a grab bag of communications and community relations for a large nonprofit in the DC area. I probably read 5-7 romance novels a week. I take grave exception to people calling romance novels “smut” or “trash”. My #1 romance novel of all time forever and ever amen is “Dreaming of You” by Queen Lisa Kleypas. Read my posts to learn more about me, but mostly to hear my thoughts about romance novels new and old. Love you all!

Happy Tuesday Readers! 💕 . Have you ever been able to pinpoint a moment when you fell in love with an author? I distinctly remember falling in love with @laurenlayneauthor ‘s writing. . I was sitting on the metro reading this book, AFTER THE KISS, my first by LL, and I was having a really crappy day. Despite of how tough my day was, the book had me smiling, laughing, and swooning from page one 😍💕📚 I was dying to learn how the fun first date queen Julie Greene and the uptight workaholic Mitchell Forbes would find their HEA. . The next best part to the romance was the amazing female friendships LL creates 👯‍♀️ The leading women in this series all work together in NYC at a fashion and lifestyle magazine 💁🏼‍♀️🌃 You’ll want to be a member of this girl group! . #romancestagram | Romance Series [Week 1] Friends 👯‍♀️ . QOTD - Give me some of your favorite romantic comedy author recommendations!! I always need more laughter in my life 😊🙌🏼💯 . . . #romancereads #romancereader #loveswept #romancebook #readromance #laurenlayne #afterthekiss #contemporaryromance #romanticcomedy #randomhouse #kindlefire

★ ★ New Review ★ ★ . . {Thank you @avonbooks for my free review copy #partner 💕} . I told you guys it was the year of the cowboy!! This time is a sexy beta hero cowboy with a heart of gold! 🤠💕 . What a gift to fans of this series! TEXAS LEGACY is the long-awaited concluding novella to @lorraineheathauthor ’s Texas Trilogy. The first book in the series, TEXAS DESTINY was initially published in 1997 (!?!?), but Ms. Heath slid readers back into her Texas world as you would slip into an old, worn-in pair of cowboy boots 🤠🙌🏼 This long novella follows Cordelia and Dallas’ daughter Faith and the boy, now a man, Rawley, who they took in years before. . If you’re worried that this novella won’t stand alone, rest assured, it had been so long since I had read the Texas Trilogy this was basically a standalone for me 💁🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️ Ms. Heath crafts a gorgeous second chance love story with depth and heart. I especially loved the glimpses into the time period and the rapidly changing United States. . The relationship between Faith and Rawley made my heart ache in both good and bad ways. They both had long journeys and a lot of healing to do before they found each other again 😭📖 I truly felt their connection as well as their deep understanding and respect for each other. . Overall, I highly recommend reading anything by Lorraine Heath but especially her Texas Trilogy 💯 It’s something special and I think I’m ready for a reread! . {Check out my blog for the full review ~ link in bio} . TEXAS LEGACY publishes 1/16! . QOTD - Do you have a favorite cowboy movie or tv show? I usually just stick to cowboys in my books 🤠📚🙌🏼 . . . #booksandflowers #romancenovel #anthropologiehome #historicalromance #lorraineheath #texaslegacy #readromance #kindlefire #romancebook #romanceblogger #avonromance #romancereads #romancereader

❄️❄️SNOW DAY❄️❄️ . This is what I’m doing right now, right this second. Laying in my bed, reading THE CONSPIRACY by @katmartinauthor which releases January 22, {thank you to #partner @harlequinpublicityteam 💕 Synopsis in the comments} and drinking mint tea. . It’ll be interesting to see if I get out of bed today except for an occasional snack 💁🏼‍♀️ . It’s kind of nice to have a forced lazy day. I do wish this was Monday instead of one of my previous weekend days 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ . [Swipe to see the view of the snow out my window ❄️☃️ #winterwonderland ] . QOTD - What’s your favorite snow day (or lazy day if you don’t get snow) activity? I’m hoping I can finish at least two books 😍📖💯 . . . #romancenovel #contemporaryromance #romanticsuspense #readromance #romancereads #booksandtea #snowdayreading #theconspiracy #katmartin #harlequinpublicityteam #harlequinbooks #romancebook

Happy Weekend Readers! 📚🙌🏼 . I work a lot so Saturday is when I get alllll my chores and grown up stuff done. But I thought I’d just pop in and show you some of the {physical} books on my TBR! . I’m starting THE WITNESS by @norarobertsauthor on Monday as a buddy read with my #romancestagram gals! 🎉 . Thank you to me 🙋🏼‍♀️ for generously providing these books to myself 😂 . QOTD - What are you reading this weekend?? 📖😊💕 . . . #currentlyreading #romancenovel #booksandflowers #contemporaryromance #historicalromance #noraroberts #bookstack #berkleyromance #romancebooks #readromance #romancereads #romancereader

Woo hoo! It’s Friday 🎉🎊🍾 and time for a historical romance family series recommendation 🙌🏼💕 . Now, I know when you hear the name @juliaquinnauthor you probably think about the Bridgerton family 🙌🏼 While they are epic, I think the Smythe-Smith family is almost as legendary. . The Smythe-Smith Quartet follows the young women (all related in some way) who put on the season’s (and probably the world’s) worst musicale every year 🎻🎼 they’re basically “make people’s ears bleed” bad. . JUST LIKE HEAVEN is the first book in the series and it’s so flipping sweet and cute I could die 😍 it’s a best friend’s brother romance and the last scene makes me tear up every time! . Fun Fact: I have no idea how to pronounce Smythe-Smith 🤦🏼‍♀️ I say “smithee-Smith” in my head and I am 💯 percent sure that’s incorrect 😂 . #romancestagram | Romance Series [Week 1] Families 🏡 . QOTD - Do you play an instrument? Or did you at one time play an instrument? I used to play piano and I was so bad, I def could have been a member of the Smythe-Smith Quartet 😭😂💁🏼‍♀️ . #booksandflowers #romancenovel #historicalromance #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #smythesmithquartet #juliaquinn #avonromance #kindleapp #romancenovels #romancereader #romanceread #readromance

Good Morning Book Dragons 🐉📚 . I’m here with another sibling series recommendation 💁🏼‍♀️ Idk why all my family series are siblings, but I’m not mad at it. . TOO HOT TO HANDLE is the first book in @tessabaileyisanauthor ‘s Romancing the Clarkson series! It follows slightly dysfunctional siblings taking a road trip across the country to New York to grant their mother’s last wish. . If you don’t know, TB is my dirty talk queen! *fans self* I always say that when I recommend one of her books but I should also say: all of her books have humor, heart, and steam 📚🔥💕 A winning combination in my mind! . Fun fact about this book: it’s set in “God-Knows-Where, New Mexico” 😂 and I went to NM last year to visit my best friend! She lives in rural New Mexico too 😊🙌🏼 we had a blast! It was gorgeous. . #romancestagram | Romance Series [Week 1] Families 🏡 . QOTD - Have you ever taken a road trip? My family and I drove from Ohio to Colorado once nonstop. I almost killed my brothers but it’s a precious memory now 😊✨♥️ . . . #readmoreromance #bookstagrammer #readromance #toohottohandle #tessabailey #roadtripromance #avonromance #romancereader #contemporaryromance #romancenovel #kindlefire #readsromance #bookstagram #booksandflowers #anthropologiehome
