Thinking romance? Specifically, romance books?

You’ve come to the right place!

• Do you have the compulsive itch to have every book as—or even before—they hit the bookstore?
• Do you sign up for all the authors’ newsletters to get updated scoops about their books?
• Do you join all the authors’ chat groups and forums?
• Do you surf the Internet day after day searching for reviews?

There’s no need to do so many things just to have your fix!

The Romance Reviews (TRR) aims to be a one-stop site for all your romance needs. It is an interactive site for all romance lovers to chat, deliver and receive up-to-date news about books and authors. We have reviews of books in all sub-genres of romance. We also have daily contests where you can win the book of your choice. Best of all, we are continuing to develop and roll out new features from time to time.

What We Offer

Reviews

Our reviews are honest and frank and represent our unvarnished opinion of the book. Reviews are displayed on the Main Pages for a day or two, ensuring maximum exposure for all who drop by on the site. They will be available on the site forever, with each review having its own link.

Aside from the reviews written by TRR’s official reviewers, readers are also encouraged to write their comments of the books. In this way, all the reviews and comments about a certain book are gathered together in one central location, making it easy for readers to access and for authors to track.

Headline News

Located directly below the menu bar on the Main Pages, the Headline News ensures authors a prime location to announce the latest news about current and upcoming releases, contests, new contracts, reviews, etc.

Author Pages

Each author will have his/her own page, which includes the author's bio, list of books, buy links and other stuff. The author will be the one to maintain and keep this page up-to-date.

The Lounge

The central location for all newsworthy updates!

• Want to squee about a new contract?
• Want to bounce an idea off people?
• Want to announce a contest/conference/workshop?
• Want to chat with readers and fellow authors?
• Want to discuss a particularly good book you’ve read?
• Want to check who else is going to RWA or RT?
• Want to moan about a troublesome character?

Here’s the place! An informal “room” for authors and readers to put up their feet and chat. So, grab a drink, take a seat and chat away.

Contests

Nothing fires the blood like the thought of winning something! We offer authors the opportunity to sponsor book giveaway contests. On special occasions, TRR may also gather together a group of authors for a big bonanza giveaway!

Coming Soon

Author interviews, publisher registration and pages, and other surprises!

Disclosure

TRR reviewers based their reviews mostly on books provided courtesy of the authors and/or publishers for review. Reviewers are allowed to choose the book they want to read and review. However, this does not mean that we guarantee a glowing write-up. Our integrity as reviewers lies in our having written a review that presents our honest and frank opinions about the book, and we value our integrity highly.

Our View on Piracy

We value and respect the authors’ copyright to their work and we would never violate this. We take a strict stance against anyone who is found to be in violation. If any of our reviewers has been investigated and is found to have distributed an ebook/e-ARC given to him in good faith for review, he will be terminated from his position as reviewer with immediate effect.
