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: What’s the best romance, thus far, of the year?
It’s astonishing to me there are just two months left in 2024. That adage about parenting–the days are long but the years are short–gets truer for me every year. Time is just a great WHOOSH racing by–I feel as though I’ll look around tomorrow and it will be Christmas Eve. I woke up this morning…
the ask@AAR: What’s your preferred way to read?

the ask@AAR: What’s your favorite medieval romance?
I just reread Madeline Hunter’s marvelous By Possession. (It, like all her Medievals, is no longer available as an ebook, something I hope changes.) I loved the immersion in a time so very different than our own. I’d like to read more set in that era. What is your favorite Medieval romance? Why? And what…
the ask@AAR: If he can’t do that, can she?
Last week, I was thoroughly enjoying an upcoming historical romance when, in a fit of understandable anger, the heroine slapped the hero across the face hard enough to leave a mark. As I continued reading, I couldn’t stop thinking about how uncomfortable that made me. If he’d hit her, that would be unacceptable.
the ask@AAR: What brought you comfort and joy in 2021?
This time last year, I hoped that the worst of 2020 wouldn’t follow me into 2021. And while that didn’t happen, I did find much to celebrate in 2021 perhaps because the past two years have taught me to find joy, laughter, and love wherever I can. Here are a few things that made my soul…
