One of the best things about the weather getting colder is Halloween, and the wonderful creepiness of it all. The brisk wind, the leaves scattering and scraping along the sidewalks, the calls of children as they race home for trick-or-treating. I love this time of year, even when I have to hide in my bedroom because I’ve run out of candy. š And what better time to curl up with a romance than when you have a bowl full of candy sitting right there?
