Best Reads of 2012

Submitted by Jennifer A [1] on Mon, 12/31/2012 - 3:42pm

One of my favorite things to do at the end of every year is to read everyone’s best and worst lists. This year, I thought I would join in with my own list of the best romances of 2012. As to the worst in romance, well, the less said the better. Because I read so many older titles, this list is not limited to those published in this calendar year, but includes books written in any year that I read during 2012. What was your favorite romance of 2012?
