Then browse it twice more. And then she decided she wanted to write a romance between two men.
Blakeley wasn’t a writing newbie: she had started writing romance novels in You know the stereotypical romance novel: girl meets guy, then something keeps them apart for a while, then they get together, man and gal, happily ever after. Blakely became known for her steamy and passionate writing.
