My name is Marissa, 35, I live in the Netherlands, I have two children and a very lazy cat. I am an avid romance reader and love taking pictures. I also review books for realsmonourbookshelves.com. I like to travel, go out, meet people and spend time with my friends. Life is short as it is, so you better enjoy it as much as possible! You could say that besides taking pictures of everything and nothing, reading is my passion, as long as I can remember I have read romance stories. First in Dutch, but the last few years mostly in English because hardly any books I like are published in the Dutch language these days. So when some of my bookcraving friends started their own website and asked me to come on board as an official reviewer I could not say no. So now I am trying to read as much as I can, write bookreviews, be a good mum and do a thousand other things at the same time, LOL. My to do lists are impossible long, my tbr pile is almost higher than the Mount Everest but does that discourage me from buying even more books? Nope, imo you can never have too many books... My favourite genres to read are historical, medieval, regency, paranormal and fantasy. But I can also appreciate a good thriller. My favourite authors at the moment are Paula Quinn, J.R. Ward, Anna Campbell, Shayla Black, Kenyon and Jean Johnson. Book characters I will always have a weakness for are Dante Risande (Risande Trilogy), Callum MacGregor (Mist Trilogy), Phury (BDB), those Cynster boys of Laurens and of course the one and only Mr. Darcy (Pride and Prejudice!). Come to think of it, I like all alpha male characters LOL...
