I’m a pretentious reader. I was an English major, a high school overachiever, and grew up in a conservative, well-read family. The only fiction I read was what was cannon, award-winning, or generally “good literature”. Romance novels did not fit into this frame and, until recently, had no place on my bookshelves.
