Who We Are and How We Started
Have you ever looked at that 200 count (or more) stack of books in your TBR pile that slowly climbs down your bedroom shelves, only to discover you still can't find just one good book to read?
Or have you ever started to read a book and suddenly found yourself as lost as we did? Was it an empire waist or waspish corset our heroine was wearing? Did our hero have flounces or lace, cravats or ascots? And what the heck does having the ague mean any old way?
Don't fret, for you are not alone. It's for this very reason that Romance Reader at Heart™ was born. We pride ourselves not only on giving you books with their synopses and the authors you love along with their back lists, all broken down by subgenre, but we'll also give you the timelines, the fashions, a glossary of terms and some trivia for those eras and places you love to envision. And you'll find links to some of the best sources on the web to find additional information on cultures and history.
Still not enough? Okay, so we'll make your visit even more worthwhile. We'll give you interviews with some very fascinating people linked in some way to the world of romance reading, and share our own lists of favorite and above average reads we think you might enjoy. We'll even throw in a little cover model eye candy to break up the monotony of your search. And since this site is being updated every day, there will always be something new to whet your appetite. We'll even throw in a user-friendly message board with links to author websites and other readers' book recommendations. And the best thing is that this website will never be completed because it will always be a continual work in progress.
In addition, our contests, book giveaways and once a month trivia chat will give you more chances to win autographed books, bookmarks and all kinds of wonderful promotional goodies. But most of all, we'll put it all in a pretty little package for you to enjoy, rather than in just a flat, dull, uninteresting database you have to search via a small rectangular box. And finally, for the frosting on the cake, it's all FREE!
So, now that you know what you will find when you visit Romance Reader at Heart™, we'll tell you what you won't see while you visit. {Read On}
