At DA, The Serpent Prince received one more vote than The Rest Falls Away. Don’t forget to vote in the second of the Final Four polls: Erotica/Erotic Romance v. Contemporary both here and at Smart Bitches.

Jane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. Jane also does not like to talk about herself in the third person, but apparently this is the way that this biography thing works (although in a true biography, someone else would be writing this blurb). Anyway, currently Jane loves urban fantasy authors Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews. She's really excited about this year's crop of historicals including Joanna Bourne's The Spymaster's Lady and Sherry Thomas' Private Arrangements and the upcoming Loretta Chase Her Scandalous Ways.
She's looking for a good contemporary author. Email her with a recommendation!

Come on, Serpent Prince!
Wow! I’m surprised at how close it was!
It wasn’t nearly as close at Smart Bitches.
I missed out on voting this round. One vote difference? WOW! Who was leading over at Smart Bitches? The poll isn’t showing up on their site right now.
I was gunning for Colleen Gleason but I honestly thought The Serpent Prince would win this round. Wow, The Rest Falls Away is definitely turning out to be a dark horse.
A dark horse for a dark day. *wailing and gnashing teeth* I started thinking I didn’t have any chance, but this past week, I began to taste victory, and it tasted like chips and dip.
I have to go - the tears are making a paste out of the ashes on my face.
Wow! That was unexpected on my part!
Completely surprised at how well Gleason has fared in this race. That was my only surprise, really.
I think what these polls show is that DA and SB have very little overlap with the AAR voters because I seriously thought given how well Jo Goodman’s book did in the AAR poll that If His Kiss Was Wicked would also play well. Ditto with Hoyt’s book.
