The Playlist to Cry For and the Trope Contest Winner!
Hello my romance reading friends!
Don't you think music evokes emotion making our hearts swell almost as effectively as a good romance novel? I love writing with a playlist. Especially when the story and even the title is inspired by a song. Cue I Want to Know What Love Is and all the books in the St. Paul U Players series. Who could forget that song by Foreigner! I'm sharing all the songs that inspired I Want to Know What Love is today and you might enjoy taking a listen.
Today I'm also sharing the WINNER of the SQ Trope Contest!💜
