It’s
Valentine’s Week and here at The Latina Book Club we believe in celebrating
love and romance every day of the year with family, friends and lovers. Our celebration can be as simple as hugging a
niece and nephew to giving chocolate covered cherries to our favorite aunt to
dinner for two in bed to reading a romance novel.
And
we love romance novels!
We’ve
been reading them since high school and they continue to be our favorites because
of the guaranteed happy ending. And, it certainly
helps that romances come in all categories -- suspense, paranormal, historical,
science fiction, etc. – so the thrill is never gone.
The
Latina Book Club is happy to welcome award-winning romance writer Mia Sosa as
our Valentine’s Day guest blogger, who shares with us her thoughts on romance
and why February 14 is just another day in her house.
