After three rounds and thousands of votes, the winner (by a landslide) is:
We are not surprised. The book got a glowing review here and our readers have raved about on the site. Congratulations, Ms. Ryan!
Tomorrow we will share the list of the other nine books that round out the top ten. It’s fabulous.
Over the past year, we’ve reviewed and discussed hundreds of books published this year, some of which we loved. We’ve shared with you our reviewers’ Best of 2020 lists–the AAR staff picked 76 books they thought deserved that moniker. (You can find them all here.)
Haley’s Top Listens in 2015 Why Not Me? By Mindy Kaling I’m a fan of Mindy Kaling and have been since she was on The Office. While I didn’t like Why Not Me? As much as her first book, I did enjoy her playful narration and funny anecdotes. I, like many women, really relate to…
My romance reading in 2014 can be summed up in one word: Contemporary. When I look at the almost 200 romances I read last year, only a quarter of them were historical romances. In previous years, that number would have been closer to two thirds. Almost all of the historicals I loved almost all came from…
We had over 5000 votes in the past three rounds of the AAR Top 100 Romances Poll. From those, we have our list of our readers’ favorite one hundred romances. We’ll share it soon. That list will not have any rankings. We do, however, want to give our readers the chance to pick their top…
According to Goodreads, I read eighty-two books (for the first time – my rereads would have put that number closer to 165) in 2021. I read across genres and glommed series. I DNF’d anything that didn’t grab me after the first fifty pages. I gravitated (overall) to books that were aspirational and viewed humankind with…
Here are the books readers picked as the ten best books of 2020. Ms. Ryan’s Queen Move came in at the top–the rest of the list is in no particular order. All but one of the nominated romances received a DIK at AAR and the one that didn’t got a B+. Thank you to…
A fine pick!
Am I the only one who lost almost all the comments on all the posts?the The site was down for me for half a day, and now most of the comment threads are empty for me.
All comments from the past 24 hours are gone. We had to install a backup from Friday. Sorry!!
No problem! Just wondering.
WOOOOOOOOOOOO
I swear I only voted once.
hmmmm……
I’m surprised. I didn’t see a lot of talk about this book here at AAR. There are only four comments under the review. Was it discussed in a blog post?
It was discussed on our Best of 2020 posts.
It also came up in the AAR Loves… Politicians blog post: http://allaboutromance.com/aar-loves-romances-featuring-politicians/
It was on Kristen’s Best of…(http://allaboutromance.com/the-best-of-2020-kristens-list/) list and also mine (http://allaboutromance.com/the-best-of-2020-carolines-list/)
Thanks Caroline and Dabney for the links. I noticed it on the best of lists and review, but I didn’t see commenters here discussing it. That’s why it caught me by surprise when it won. I didn’t know how popular it was.
I agree. For all that I’ve been pushing this book on people for months, I didn’t have any idea if that they were picking it up in big numbers, like I had for other year winners.
That’s great! I haven’t read it yet but I bought it. Kennedy Ryan was in my top ten reads of 2016 with Until I’m Yours, part of her Bennett series (which as far as I know is the first series she released). Highly recommend it too!
I’ve got it on my TBR, too. Hope I have a chance to read it soon.
The first and the last book in the Bennett quartet on are on sale right now for 3.99 each.
