\nWho will win the RITA for best contemporary romance?<\/p>\n

Since the Romance Writers of America announced the finalists for the RITA award<\/a> back in March, I\u2019ve been reading all of the nominated novels in my favorite category: contemporary single-title romance<\/a>. Some of the authors are old favorites of mine, and some were new to me.<\/p>\n

The winners will be announced on July 1, and I\u2019ll be lucky enough to be in New York for the party. They\u2019re fantastic novels, and I can\u2019t wait to see who wins.<\/p>\n

Best of luck to their authors!<\/p>\n

Not That Kind of Girl by Susan Donovan<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\" Roxanne Bloom launches a man-hating blog after overhearing her ass-hat boyfriend denigrating her bedroom skills to his friends \u2013 men she has to work with. Her now-ex breaks into her house and threatens her, until her man-hating pit-bull-Boxer mix nearly rips his throat apart. Roxie finds herself being sued and fighting to keep her dog alive. The only person she can count on is Eli Gallagher, the hottest dog whisperer around.<\/p>\n

Eli\u2019s used to being top dog, but can he help both Roxie and her dog feel secure enough that they let go of their angry aggression?<\/p>\n

The best parts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Susan Donovan does an amazing job of creating emotional intensity between her hero and heroine. Almost all the novels of hers I\u2019ve read feature couples who spark immediately, and the flames grow hotter and deeper as the story develops. Plus, this novel contains the canine equivalent of a Regency rake: a pit bull most people think is irredeemable but who turns loving and loyal thanks to a woman\u2019s devotion.<\/p>\n

Still the One by Robin Wells<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"When she was 17, Katie Charmaine had a summer fling with Zach Ferguson and ended up pregnant and boyfriendless. She gave her newborn daughter up for adoption \u2013 a heartbreaking experience she never revealed to anyone except the man she ended up marrying. But after her husband dies in Iraq, leaving her childless and grief-stricken, Zach returns to town with their 17-year-old daughter \u2013 a girl who\u2019s pregnant and desperately needs parents.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The best parts<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I cried. No, I bawled. The tenderness and conflict between each of the characters is realistic and satisfying. I loved that the author allowed Kate to have a wonderful relationship with her late husband, and that Kate struggles to overcome her grief before falling in love with Zach.<\/p>\n

And One Last Thing\u2026 by Molly Harper<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"When Lacey Terwilliger discovers her husband Mike is screwing his artificially enhanced secretary, she doesn\u2019t just get mad; she gets online. Having sacrificed her own career to support his business, she writes one last email newsletter to his clients, family and friends, telling them exactly what a dickless wonder Mike is. Her revenge backfires, though, and she flees to her cabin to get away from her nagging, gossiping neighbors.<\/p>\n

Fortunately for her, a hot author named Monroe lives next door. Can she convince him she\u2019s not another psycho divorc\u00e9e like all the others who\u2019ve thrown themselves at him?<\/p>\n

The best parts<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Molly Harper\u2019s voice rocks. She\u2019s like a twisted version of Kristan Higgins. Her characters are witty and clever \u2013 except for the morons you\u2019re not supposed to like. This novel is funny, tender, sweet and sexy, so it hits all the right spots. If you have a thing for Hugh Jackman, read this book. That\u2019s all I\u2019m sayin\u2019.<\/p>\n

One Fine Cowboy by Joanne Kennedy<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Psychology grad student Charlie Banks is sent to observe a horse whisperer in Wyoming. Unfortunately, the horse whisperer, Nate Shawcross, has no idea his ex-girlfriend took people\u2019s money and promised them Nate would run a horse clinic. He\u2019s shocked when cute Jersey girl (and PETA activist) Charlie shows up on his ranch, hauling her attitude with her. Nate\u2019s ranch is in trouble, though, and he can only save it by putting on a good show for the group of greenhorns that arrive for his clinic. And he desperately needs Charlie\u2019s help to make the clinic a success.<\/p>\n

The best parts<\/strong><\/p>\n

This novel is the closest I can remember coming to a hero who was abused by a former partner. Although Nate\u2019s ex-girlfriend didn\u2019t hit him, she manipulated him so severely that his personality and confidence are shot. His insecurity when it comes to women is so endearing, and I loved the scenes written from his point of view. He wants to please Charlie, but he struggles hard to find ways to do so. Massive kudos to Joanne Kennedy for such a daring\u2014and well-written\u2014portrayal.<\/p>\n

Simply Irresistible by Jill Shalvis<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"In one week, Maddie finally gets rid of her abusive boyfriend, loses her job because of it, and finds out her mother has died. Though she and her mother were estranged, Maddie and her two half-sisters inherit a falling-down inn on the coast of Washington.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Maddie\u2019s learned that trusting men can be a dangerous thing, but when she hires the sexiest contractor for miles around, she learns that love starts with that trusting herself.<\/p>\n

The best parts<\/strong><\/p>\n

The hero, Jax, is among the best contemporary heroes I\u2019ve ever read. He\u2019s strong without being obnoxiously alpha. He\u2019s supportive without being a pushover. And he\u2019s thoroughly addictive. For the last couple of months, I\u2019ve returned to this novel over and over, rereading my favorite parts. It\u2019s so high up my keeper shelf no one will be able to touch it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lead Me On by Victoria Dahl<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Jane Morgan is the ultimate professional woman, but she hasn\u2019t always been. In fact, she has completely turned her life around from the chaos she experienced growing up. She\u2019s full of secrets\u2014like that most of her relatives are convicts and that she earned herself a reputation when she was far too young\u2014but there\u2019s one thing she can no longer deny herself: hot sex with a tough-looking man.<\/p>\n

But as her perfectly composed life begins to unravel, William Chase proves he\u2019s a hell of a lot more than a working class stud service.<\/p>\n

The best parts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Victoria Dahl\u2019s contemporary characters break all the molds, and it\u2019s truly a joy to see their layers peeled away to reveal people who are unlike any others I\u2019ve seen in romance. Jane\u2019s shame over her past decisions is gut-wrenching, and her growth over the course of the novel is painful to experience but all the more satisfying because of that. Chase may look like an ex-con, but he displays the stalwart character of superman as he supports Jane through her struggles. This is such a beautiful, sexy, funny story that I took the bus to work because I couldn\u2019t bear to put it down.<\/p>\n

Nothing but Trouble by Rachel Gibson<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Hockey player Mark Bressler made his living on the ice, but when his Hummer hits a patch of black ice and flips, Mark\u2019s career instantly ends and he\u2019s left in excruciating pain to watch his team win the Stanley Cup. No wonder he\u2019s pissed at the world.<\/p>\n

But when failed actress and assistant to B-list celebs Chelsea Ross is hired to nurse him back to health, Mark\u2019s pity part is over. With her bossy manner, she soon has Mark frustrated in altogether more pleasant ways.<\/p>\n

The best parts<\/strong><\/p>\n

The sex. Rachel Gibson writes very hot contemporary romance, and her hockey players are among the sexiest professional athletes in the genre. Mark Bressler and Chelsea Ross have such a strong connection that it\u2019s explosive when they get together.<\/p>\n

Happy Ever After by Nora Roberts<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Four friends run a wedding business. They plan a lot of weddings.<\/p>\n

The best parts<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the last in a quartet about women who run a wedding business. There\u2019s at least as much focus (if not more) on the women\u2019s friendships as there is on the romance between Parker and Malcolm. The hero doesn\u2019t even feature in the back-cover text. But if you like reading about wedding details\u2014from cakes to flower arrangements\u2014you\u2019ll probably like this book.<\/p>\n

Have you read any of the nominees? What did you think? Which ones are the strongest contenders? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n
