My love for romance started back in 2005 when I got my hands on my very first forbidden romance. I was fresh out of high school and starting college, working my first job, a couple years into my relationship with my now husband, and tackling the lovely world of adulting.

My escape was to lose myself in a love story. And yes, my lifelong passion for romance and forbidden stories began with Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight. I buried my nose in that book until the last page. And my love grew from there. I discovered more like Sarah J. Maas and Charlaine Harris. Back then, my obsession with vampires and the supernatural was strong, and still is… like come on, Jensen Ackles, anyone? But I digress.
