2012 All About Romance Reader Choice Awards

This was the first year that I got to participate in the Reader Choice Awards. I had read so many books in 2011 and I was dying to see if my favorites would win. I would check the site often to see when the results were going to be published. It was awesome to see my list of books win and my favorite of the year, The Black Hawk, sweep the categories. I almost swooned! This is my list for record keeping. I have deleted the categories I don't read so for a full list go to www.likesbooks.com and click on Reader Poll. Best 2011 Romance Novels
