At All About Romance, we’ve built our reputation on honest, thoughtful engagement with the genre, but that only matters if we’re meeting the needs of the people who come here. Romance has changed, and so have readers. This survey is our way of finding out whether we’re keeping pace with that change. We want to know what draws you to the site, what you skip over, what you wish we covered, and how we might do a better job of making AAR a place worth returning to. If you have five minutes and a few opinions, we’d be grateful.

the ask@AAR: How do you like to re-read?
I’ve always been a re-reader: whole books, favorite scenes, even a line or two I’ve suddenly thought of and want to experience again. In 2020, I’ve been re-reading more than ever, especially at night, when my brain is too busy and, often, too anxious to wind down.
the ask@AAR: The Ask@AAR: From Soft to Savage—What’s Hot in Heroes Now?
Romance heroes used to smolder. Now, it feels as though half of them want to hold your purse while you process your feelings, and the other half want to handcuff you to a headboard and call it forever.
