Most are in my TBR pile! I'm voting for 9 rules to break! Hands down, Best book all year! Till Dawn with the Devil by Alexandra Hawkins was another fav. Where was that on your list! LOL! Miranda Nevilles the Dangerous Duke was a winner for me but I was dissapointed with a few things at the end. so I could not vote for that one! Love in the Afternoon was awesome as well but it was sorta sad in parts and I like more happy so could not vote for that one either! I did read half of The truth about Lord Stoneville and just could not finish it something turned me off about it. Not sure what but I might pick it back up later and finish it! I just finished Sara Lindsey's Temping the Marquess and Loved it! I will be adding that to my personal fav list!

I am going to hold on as long as I can (Full-time college student with a procrastination problem= "to blog, or not to blog?". Lol. Glad you like mine and I just adore yours. You talk about a little of everything. I was so upset when Brandy went home from DWTS!! And in favor of what: Robot Palin 3000?. And Taming Rafe is on my proverbial x-mas wish list too! (and the abduction of julia)! They both were Rec's of the week a month or two ago! / If you ever need help with your blog (I haven't gotten it all figured out, but I've learned lots along the way) feel free to contact me!

If you didn't use your write-in when you cast your vote, you can opt to do it now in the comment (i'll note it down). Or second Mel's nom for the Honorable Mention.

I'd love to particapate next year. <br />Love your site :)<br />I've strted a blog, and boy, it's not easy to do that stuff. Mine is nothing compared to yours :( Just in case you want to stop by:<br />bookworm2bookworm.wordpress.com<br /><br />Happy Holidays to yo also!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01007305817916683756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5155779105962796229.post-19383764902980138112010-12-03T15:58:02.533-05:002010-12-03T15:58:02.533-05:00@ Melanie, It def was a toughie! I actually was co...@ Melanie, It def was a toughie! I actually was contemplating the Johanna Bourne book and Tiffany Clark's! I knew Forbidden made it onto amazon or one of those media outlets' top 5 list. And I recalled hearing some good things about the Tiffany Clare book; but having not read them myself or get any direct recommendations about them from reader's before now, they sort of fell out of my line of vision. (Next year, I'll be sure to open up Nominations to the Reader's as well. Letting the entire thing, nominations and election, be up to you guys. That way, less books like these will fall through the cracks.)<br /><br />Sucks that I can't read all the books and be one big encyclopedia with all the romance knowledge. I am sure The three you mentioned weren't the only ones I missed; but hopefully they can receive some vindication through a Honorable Mention. / Thanks for sharing and being honest. That's what this is all about. I'll be sure to check those books soon!<br /><br />Happy Holidays!Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02204042949680975830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5155779105962796229.post-32636219902607779512010-12-03T12:35:07.819-05:002010-12-03T12:35:07.819-05:00This year I can tell your job was not an easy one....This year I can tell your job was not an easy one. There are quite a lot of great Romance stories that needed to be told and the ones you picked are very good, however I am surprised that Joanna Bourne's "Forbidden Rose" didn't make it here and "The Libertine's Kiss" by Judith James. For that matter I think Tiffany Clare's "The Surrender of a Lady" was deserving of a spot. Hands down those three were the best reads this year at least for me. I loved Sarah MacClean’s "Nine Rules...” and Kieran Kramer’s "When Harry...", but if I had to choose which one to vote for it would be a tie from Ms. Bourne and Ms. James. As they were not included, I placed a vote for "Nine Rules...." and Sarah MacClean!<br /><br />I don't envy your position in nominating these ladies and their stories. I just thought there were a couple of the ones that I mentioned above that deserved at least an honorable mention :) Thanks.....Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01007305817916683756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5155779105962796229.post-35754145556429271682010-12-03T11:51:40.642-05:002010-12-03T11:51:40.642-05:00@gamistress66, I would struggle finding a fav too....@gamistress66, I would struggle finding a fav too. So many great books came out this year! <br /><br />@Tempty's, Does she go by both Clare and Kieran? You are like the 3rd person to refer to her as Clare instead of the pen name on the book. / I have to get to it soon!<br /><br />@Scorpio, I loved that book too!! <3 ohh, sigh!

I've narrowed it down to 2-3, but which would I say is my fave. Hmmm, will need to ponder/debate this for a little before casting my vote. <br /><br />(Recommend 9 Rules, it was good.)gamistress66https://www.blogger.com/profile/15832851155052440683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5155779105962796229.post-33352085306883469102010-12-03T00:13:55.055-05:002010-12-03T00:13:55.055-05:00The whole validating thing is SO undiplomatic! lol...The whole validating thing is SO undiplomatic! lol.

So many great releases this month, I had such a tough time narrowing the list for you readers to choose from. <br /><br />Love in the Afternoon was splendid, Haven't read Nine Rules but I hear it's great, MANY people suggested When Harry Met Molly (just finished Dukes to the Left, Prince to the Right.. and thought it was okay.
