Romance and Me: The Halloween Romance Edition
Hey Everyone!
Happy Halloween! To get in the festive mood what kind of creepy story are you reading?
As you can see in our dual review this year Marlene and I, we read the Entangled anthology which features 11 paranormal novellas from plenty of fantastic authors and all proceeds of the sales go to breast cancer research, so if you haven’t read it yet, take a look, we enjoyed it a lot!
