NEW Quiz: Discover Your Favorite Book Boyfriend 2.0

She Reads Romance Books

Meet Leslie: Creator, Podcaster & Romance Book Expert

Hi! I’m Leslie

“Give me a romance book and I’m a happy woman!”

It all started with Paradise…

My love of reading romance books started the moment I took Paradise by Judith McNaught off my mother’s bookshelf as a teen and I have been a fan ever since.

As an adult, I became a voracious romance reader when I needed an escape and wanted to remember that there is a lot of love in the world, and it has since become a consuming passion.

Now I’m the creator behind She Reads Romance Books, the She Reads Romance Books Podcast, and the She Reads Romance Books Book Club because I firmly believe that life is better with a love story.

Leslie Murphy of She Reads Romance Books reading Paradise by Judith McNaught.
some of my favorite books:
  • Paradise is one of the best romance novels of all time.
  • The Guy in the Middle by Kate Stewart is a must read, all time favorite romance book for 2020. Read the book review by romance book blogger, She Reads Romance Books.
  • Him is one of the best steamy romance novels according to romance book blogger, She Reads Romance Books.
  • Truce is one of the best romance novels of all time.
  • My Personal Bad Boy book cover.
