A MOST IMPROPER GENTLEMAN won the 2010 Golden Heart for Regency Historical. 
In 2010, it also won:
The Beau Monde Royal Ascot for Regency Historical
The Molly (Historical)
Heart of the Rockies (Historical)
Reveal Your Inner Vixen
It was a finalist in every contest I entered it in, including The Golden Palm, and it was also nominated in the Molly's Unsinkable Heroine Category.  

My second book, The Devil May Care, won the 2010 Beau Monde Royal Ascot in the Hot Regency category, and won the Historical category of the 2009 Golden Pen.
In 2010, it was also a finalist in:
The Emily
Great Expectations
Fab Five
Reveal Your Inner Vixen (came in second place behind A Most Improper Gentleman!).

Since I was a Golden Heart finalist for A Most Improper Gentleman (then called Shameless) in 2009 as well, I'm lucky enough to count myself a member both of the uber-talented Unsinkables and of the extraordinary Ruby Slippered Sisters. I'll blog here when I can, but you'll hear more from me at the 2009 finalists' website, rubyslipperedsisterhood.com

Oh, the joy!!!! The new Joanna Bourne!
The Black HawkThe Black Hawk by Joanna Bourne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh, another deliriously good read from Joanna Bourne, and probably her best book yet!

Justine and Hawker are fabulous characters, and I've been waiting for their book eagerly--and it doesn't disappoint. There's a depth of feeling here that very few romances ever manage to create. I CRIED while reading the first love scene.

The writing is, as always, flawlessly beautiful, smart, and brilliantly spare.

It's wonderful also to get to see more of Doyle and of Severine, and we get some VERRRRRY intriguing scenes with the mysterious, complicated Pax, whose book Bourne is reportedly working on now!! Cannot wait!!

If you're not reading Joanna Bourne, you're missing out on the best stuff out there in romance writing today!
