The Romance Bookie

Hey Everyone! So years ago, 2013 to be exact, I got to be a part of this really awesome blogging team called the OBXers!  We helped and supported an up and coming author named Jennifer Iacopelli, get her debut book out into the world.  I remember it being so much fun to be a part of the team!  The best part, however, was getting to read an ARC of Game. Set. Match.   I loved it!  It was such a great book, containing my favorite things!  Romance, teen drama, romance, and...teen drama!  What more could you ask for??

So what now? you may be asking.  Is there still a future for The Romance Bookie? ABSOLUTELY! Of course!! The Romance Bookie is my baby! I have put so much hard work into getting The Romance Bookie to where is it today! But...
