I used Option B twice
Carter Reed - Tijan (GR Author) - nominated in the erotica category
Pleasure of a Dark Prince - Kresley Cole (GR Author) - nominated in the Paranormal category
optional - Pleasure of Dark Prince was great (love the series audiobooks in general), but there are lots of strong contenders in the Paranormal category; Carter Reed was ehhhh (needed lots of editing that was really obvious in audio), but didn't blow my mind - that being said, I've been underwhelmed with the other two books in the category I've listened to so far
