Congratulations to the winners! Thanks for providing us with many hours of wonderful romance listening!
Congratulations to Tantor Audio as well – all are Tantor titles.
And did you know that all of these winners are also the first book in a series? Entire series that have all been released with the same narrator? And all audiobooks within each series have been well received with very good to excellent reviews. These author/narrator teams have given a tremendous gift to romance listeners multiple times in 2012 and 2013!
