Christy Brownfield, staff writer for the UW-Milwaukee Post, picked up Santa Baby as her entry into the world of the romance genre. Sounds like she liked it.
Jane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. She's currently loving contemporary authors like Sarah Mayberry and Kristan Higgins but her first love will always be the historical. Some of her old time favorites are Amanda Quick and Johanna Lindsey and some of the new favorites are Sherry Thomas, Joanna Bourne and Claudia Dain.

A pity she didn’t work out that this wasn’t a ‘Harlequin romance’ but I suppose some people use ‘Harlequin’ as a generic term, to describe any short romance, in the same way that ‘hoover’ is used to describe lots of non-Hoover vaccuum cleaners. Still, she’s only a very new romance reader – she’ll learn, and maybe if she goes online she’ll find online discussions about romance which will help her get over her astonishment that ‘45 percent of romance readers are college graduates and 50 percent work outside the home’. Actually, according to the RWA the percentage of readers who are graduates is much higher.
