I just read that. It was an enjoyable read :)

[Mamacita aka MawMaw]

A far as my 2nd nomination in Post #35

2. Mark of the Gladiator
Ancient Rome

I could not find this except in Paperback so I would remove it as it will not be easily gotten. Normally, I would nominate something else but I think we have a couple of good ones, so I'll refrain from nominating more. This theme isn't my strong suit anyway.

[Lauren]

I nominate and is a standalone. Book 1 has a different timeline and characters.

oh am I too late? I didn't receive a your time cut notification.

No, I extended it out today, and if we need to can go into tomorrow. GR’s notifications are really behind.

[Mamacita aka MawMaw]

Do we have a voting thread yet?

We'll get voting soon enough. I want to remind the group that Joanna and I are spread very thin so far this year and hope to be bringing on an additional mod soon-and this is a time consuming process!

Thank you all for understanding.

[🐝 Shaz 🐝]

Thank you Sam and Joanna for all your hard work.
I am hopeless with technology. Have to ask the grandchildren to help me out with some things.
I do appreciate all your hard work. 👏👏 And hope you can get some help soon.🙏🤞

[Sam I]

Thank you Shaz!

All,

I didn't alphabetize etc so make sure you look through the list. Also note that 3 of our nominations with (*) are not HEA/HFN.

I'm sorry if I rushed you or was being impatient. I didn't realize who was doing what. I thought maybe it had fell thru the cracks or maybe there was voting form already & I couldn't find it.

[Mamacita aka MawMaw]

Yes, Thank you Sam & Joanna for everything you do. If you ever need help with making threads or anything else, please PM me. I've been a mod in the past & don't want to mod full time again but can help out in the interim.

[Sam I]

Ha! You are for-gif-en. *Groan*

I didn't know if you all had seen that we were short on time in the general discussion threads so wanted to mention here as well. I did read all day, finally, but I haven't even had much time for that and know Joanna's in a similar boat, so thought it'd be good to post for the regular BOTM people.

[Mamacita aka MawMaw]

Sam & Joanna,

No Rush! When either of you get a chance, will you please give us the link to the sheets for the April BOTM results.

I will try to get it updated in the first post tomorrow when I am on a computer.

Mr. Impossible by Loretta Chase
Captive Bride by Johanna Lindsey
A Midnight Dance by Lila DiPasqua

Novella:

The Promise of a Kiss by K.C. Bateman

[Merry in and out for the next few days]

As a FYI if you are an Audible member in the US there is a sale, and the first 2 books are under $6

Fyi : shouldn't around the world mean reading a different culture? We are still reading British or Americans in a different setting. I will not be participating in this one.

I think this theme is based on a geographic around the world: "> Around the World: Books set in locations other that America or Great Britain."

[Leena]

Hmmm.. ok

It looks like the votes for A Midnight Dance didn’t get counted.

I will double check what is going on there. Good catch.

Good catch Jenny. That changes things and removes
As You Desire by Connie Brockway from the top of the list. A midnight dance is now the third BOTM for April. I updated the previous post listing the BOTMs.

Noticed I linked the wrong Lindsey book and that has been fixed.
