Category Preferences

Please enter your category preferences below. While your category preferences will be taken into consideration, please understand we cannot guarantee a specific category. We thank you in advance for your flexibility.

The three categories I'd most like to judge are... *

Contemporary: Short (e.g. category length): Novels that are set from 1970 to the present that focus primarily on the romantic relationship and that are between 40,000 and 60,000 words in length.

Contemporary: Mid-Length: Novels that are set from 1970 to the present that focus primarily on the romantic relationship and that are between 60,000 and 80,000 words in length.

Contemporary: Long (Single-title length): Novels that are set from 1970 to the present that focus primarily on the romantic relationship and that are 80,000 or more words.

Erotic: Novels in which strong, often explicit, sexual interaction is an inherent part of the love story, character growth and relationship development and could not be removed without damaging the storyline. These novels may contain elements of other romance subgenres (such as paranormal, historical, etc.).

Historical: Novels set prior to 1970. 40,000 word minimum.

Novella: Short pieces of romantic fiction between 20-40,000 words.

Paranormal: Any romance novel in which either time travel, futuristic, fantasy world or paranormal happenings are a major element of the plot. 40,000 word minimum.

Romantic Suspense: Any romance novel in which suspense, mystery, or thriller elements constitute a major part of the plot. 40,000 word minimum.

Please indicate the heat levels you would be comfortable judging. *

All sexual scenes, of course, should be necessary to move the plot forward.

I want to read no sexual action beyond hugs and kisses

I'm flexible: I'll read anything from closed-door to steamy sex, not including erotic romance.

I am happy to read Erotic Romance. Contains explicit sexual content with graphic language, often with kink.
