I'm grateful to all those who help compile the results (including Cindy!) and can hardly wait till AAR publishes them. I have seen a couple bloggers post their own ballot. These are fun to look at and compare favorites so I hope more of you do this.

I've read all these but Beau Crusoe which is in my tbr. For some reason that just tickles me pink.
I enjoyed Games of Command, too, but I ultimately went with Driven in the futuristic category. I haven't read some of the other books on your list.
An Anne Stuart glom? Yay!!!
And the pollsters don't do the Annual poll - LLB likes to run this one as it helps her stay in touch with AAR readers.
You can thank me later ;)
Looks like I have a few books I need to put on the TBR list!
Cindy
Wow - we are scary sometimes *g*
I picked Sugar Daddy for best chic lit
Games of Command for best SF and best hero
Caressed by Ice for best Paranormal
Driven for best buried treasure and strongest heroine
This is great! There's only one book on your list that I've actually read... so now I have lots of recs. Thanks!
Rosie: It's so fun to see what everyone else has read and compare, isn't it? We must have similar taste.
Alyssa: It was a toss up between GoC and Driven but I went with GoC because of the hero. Yummy, and completely bonkers over the heroine.
Cindy: Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks, Laurie! It's a lot of work I know. Hey, I love AS and started collecting the old categories in her backlist. I think I have 14 now most of which I got from PBS, and I have a few more to find. But I do thank you for all the other stuff you do at AAR.
Kristie: Wow, I think I was channeling your or maybe I'm psychic. We are a lot alike about our reading sometimes.
Kate: These are all good books and depending on your tastes, I think you'll enjoy them.
I don't think I've read any of these yet, so it looks like my TBR list just got a lot longer. :) I have to say I never really think about the books I read in terms of awards, but if I did, then Take Me There by P.F. Kozak would win hands down in the erotic romance category. Thanks for sharing your list!
