Lauren Blades has been reading romance since she found the secret stash in her grandmother's house. Now her love of good romantic fiction is no secret because you can find paperbacks and ebook readers all over her house amidst the pet cats and dust bunnies who also live there. When she's not reading, she enjoys writing romance and cooking. Fortunately for her, there's an outlet near the kitchen table so she can put the laptop safely out of range of her culinary creativity.
