Whew...that was a struggle

It's finally time for the Romance results.

I was panicking about this category because I hadn't heard anything from one of the judges.

Luckily, one of my friends stepped in and was able to judge the remaining books.

Everybody say a big thank you to bobrossofwriting

This category wouldn't have been finished without them.

Now, back to the awards.

It's been a wonder getting to know you all and working with you all to make your awards experience. It was an honor to be your host.

If you'd like your individual scores/notes, please message me in this inline comment and I can either send them to you or have your judge do it. -->
