Apparently its 86 here today. This week is spring weather for us. I am done with winter. I even had some styrofoam looking snow this year. Don't snow here in South Texas so it was fun.
I feel like planting
. I do a lot of balcony container gardening.
I been trying to figure out what my first romance novel was I read. Now I started on my journey with the "Angelique" series, but it wouldn't be considered strictly romance in today's standards. I was 12 and I never looked back. Its what started not only my love or romance, but historical romance. They are so well researched. Just not available in the US unless willing to sell a first born, which I don't have.
As far as genre romance, I am a bit hazy on that. I know I read a lot of stuff after I read Angelique and some of that came off my moms book shelf. There were some Mills and Boons/Harlequin, I think they were called Cora in Germany. I can't recall. There were other lines though, I vaguely remember things with doctors in the mountains being popular. Alps and such.
So I guess I'll just count Angelique as my first romance. It did start me on them and made a woman out of me.
