I've never been a huge lover of paranormal rmoance, but I think Teresa Medeiros writes lightheartedly enough to make it work. Touch of Enchantment is one of my favorite paranormal/time travel rmoances of hers, but Jude Devereaux has a heavier version that I love also.Unfortunately I haven't had much time to read so I've been really selective in the books I'm willing to try. Hopefully I can get back into reading more at night because there's so many amazingly talented and creative writers out there.Corinna recently posted..
