Nicolette Day | My Addiction to Romance
February 26, 2014
My name is Nicolette
Day, and I'm addicted to romance. As far back as I can remember, I have been a lover of books. Instead of watching
cartoons on Saturday mornings, my mother would read me J.R. Tolkein, and Shel
Silverstein. Robert Frost and Edgar Allen Poe. Living in a house with three
other siblings, I loved the escape it gave me. I loved traveling to other worlds
without ever having to leave my bedroom. But there came a moment that I wanted
something more between the pages of my stories. I wanted romance! And finally I read my first book boyfriend, in the form of a Christopher Pike YA
thriller. And that book boyfriend broke my heart. In true Christopher Pike
fashion, the fictional boy I'd fallen for ended up being the killer. But I
forgave, and moved on to the next book. Vampire or human, hobbit or wherewolf, I
adored them all. I adored falling in love over and over again as the characters
I read did. The heart break, the butterflies, the kisses, and even the dirty
talkers. They all have a special place in my heart and give me something I crave
as a reader. Eventually, I figured out it's not only what I liked to read. It's what I liked
to write. That addictive feeling that we get when we pick up a book that grabs
us, pulls us in, and doesn't let go until the last page? Yeah. I wanted to
create that. I wanted to be a part of that. Love is an adventure. It's hilarious
and it's heartbreaking and it's wonderful and painful all at the same time. And
I'm addicted to reading about it. I'm addicted to creating it. Yes. My name is Nicolette
Day, and I am addicted to romance.
When one touch isn't enough, why resist? Road trips are supposed to be fun. Or, at least, full of hot sex. For
photographer Lilly Grayson, the fifteen-hour drive to her friend's wedding with
Nate Jennings will be neither. Not that Nate isn't sexy—the man is
six-foot-three-inches of mouth-watering Marine. But Lilly's been there, done
that...and he walked away. Now it's time for a little payback. The kind that'll
make a man desperate for a taste of what he can't have. And Nate wants a taste—so badly that he can barely keep his hands on the
wheel. But the scars and ghosts of his last tour still haunt him. He can't
give into temptation, not this time. Lilly deserves a whole man—one who
can love her the way she deserves to be loved, even if she doesn't believe it
can happen. And that can't be Nate. Not when he's leaving again in two weeks,
and this time, he's not sure he'll return... What are you addicted to? One commenter will win a copy of TEMPTED BY THE SOLDIER

I am addicted to reading. When I was growing up in the midwest,going to the
library was a special treat. I was a voracious reader & could easily finish 1-2
books daily. In 4th grade, I read "Gone With The Wind" during Easter vacation,
while eating little chocolate eggs from my basket.As an adult, I am an Amazon
junkie, enjoying novels & e-books.

If you're referring to which genre of books, my choice is all over the map!! It depends on what mood I'm in. If I feel content at the time, I'll cozy up with a good Romance. Sometimes it's even a memoir, and lately those have been a book written by a layperson about their personal life - not a famous persons' biography, although I read some of those, too!! Some days I'm in the mood for a good mystery, or even a Historical non-fiction book about anything from one of the wars to the Presidents. So you see, it all depends on my mood. My other addiction is jellybeans (a certain brand) to eat while I read. When it's cold out, I love my French Vanilla Cappuccinos or Hot Chocolate, or Mocha Coffee when I can find it. Otherwise I always have an Iced Tea or glass of Coke handy!!

I'm addicted to romance books (I'm always reading every day). I love chocolate like everyone else, but try to limit myself to buying some only once every couple of weeks. When I do, I can't stay away from it! Also, getting on the computer which is for an hour or two almost daily. Thanks for the chance to win your book...hope the guy on the cover comes along with the win! lol
