jenny867 | 59 comments Wow, has March ever flown by! Here are my nominations:

The Earl She Should Never Desire by Lara Temple - This book has been on my reread radar because a book featuring the hero's (very intriguing!) best friend just came out.

I would also like to nominate The King's Man by Elizabeth Kingston.

Hi Olivia. We are no longer taking nominations for novellas as a separate category. Therefore you will need to choose only 2 of the 3 books you have nominated.
If I don't hear from you I will eliminate the Tessa Dare which is the novella
