Romancing the Book
Jen is the fearless leader behind Romancing the Book. The site started out in 2007 as a simple review site where Jen and her best friend talked about the books they read. But when they started interviewing authors, the blog took off and they never looked back. These days they are sought out by new authors as well as best sellers to help promote their newest releases through interviews, guest posts, contests and reviews. These days Jen does very little reviewing as she coordinates the blogs guests and manages a review staff of over 20 reviewers from across the globe with varied tastes in books… but all with a love of romance. Visit Romancing the Book at http://www.romancing-the-book.com or follow them at @RtBBlog or on Facebook.
