Welcome to my stop on the Fifty First Times Anthology Book Blitz & Giveaway!
Here's about my first time I attended the Romantic Times Convention. It was Pittsburgh, PA in 2008 and I was so excited. I was so looking forward to meeting my favorite authors and to experience the convention. I remember squealing out loud when I saw Ann Jacobs, she's one of my favorite authors. There were a lot of people on the elevator and I was busy reading everyone's badge to see who they were. Every time I recognized an author I read, I gave a little squeee and introduced myself. I met so many wonderful people and had the best time. The Mr. Romance contest was awesome, all those hot hard shirtless male bodies strutting around on stage is enough to make anyone need a cold shower. I really enjoyed all the workshops and the night parties. I think I went around the entire convention with my mouth hanging open in awe of everything I saw. I met quite a few cover models and I swear it was enough to make me swoon. I even attended the Cover Model dinner. It was unlike anything else I've experienced.

QUOTES
"I twist the ring around my left finger. It’s foreign to my body, but in the same way a new pet is foreign to a person’s home. It represents work and responsibility, but somehow you know that it will eventually become a part of you. Jack’s already a part of me. It’s just the ring that’s new." –DAYLIGHT by Julie Cross
The friendzone wasn’t such a bad place to be. I saw how Allen treated the people he slept with. They were as disposable as red Solo cups. “I’m an equal opportunity lover,” he once told me, “but you can call me a slut.”—BUNGA BUNGA by Andrew Shaffer
“Perhaps the gods hadn't been so perverse after all.”—UNDER THE SEYRN MOON by Melissa Landers
“No, if I were brave I would have—“ but I’m not even brave enough to say the words. Instead I take another swallow wine while I finish the sentence in my head. Would have let you make a move on me. Would have touched you. Would have kissed you.”—LOVE IN AN ELEVATOR by Carrie Ryan
“Don’t push me away, V. I may not know as much as I want to about you, but the thing you need to know about me is I’m a persistent son of a bitch, and I will wear you down.”—A LITTLE TOO SCARRED by Lisa Desrochers
