About

Online, I go by warmntoasty, and I'm from Louisiana. In high school, I used to read user submitted dark romance stories on a now "ancient" site called quizilla 😂 For years, I found myself only reading non-fiction and sci-fi books when I finally decided that I wanted to check out what's in the dark romance books these days. About two years ago, I picked up Her Soul to Take by Harley LaRoux and loved it! Thus began my journey into dark romance books! 💃
