About Me

My photo
Dani St Clair
Dani loves romance novels and she doesn't care what you think about it. When she's not reading, blogging or writing her thesis - to her academic supervisor's eternal despair, her priorities are usually in that order - Dani can be found annoying her local takeaway joints by only making orders .50c over the minimum delivery amount. She has temporarily escaped Australia, and currently lives in Germany.
