The Golden Roses are back
Since 2001 the Golden Roses have been one of the most coveted awards. Love Romances and More was among the first, if not the first contest looking for excellence in reading and writing. Over the past few years any number of contests have sprung up and after taking a look at many of the current offerings decided this year we did not want to run yet another popularity contest. While it is gratifying to see authors rally around others from their company, we've seen these contests move from excellence in writing to who can garner the most votes.
So this year we are launching a different kind of contest. This year we will have five categories:
Paranormal/Sci fi
Historical
Mystery/Cozy
Romantic Suspense
Contemporary Romance (including women's fiction)
One staff reviewer will head up each category but we need additional judges. We have a comprehensive, yet easy to complete score sheet to rate the books in each category. At the end the votes will be tallied for a "best of" in each of our five categories.

CAVEAT: Some of our entries may be M/M and F/F.
Send an email to lrmgoldenroses@gmail.com with your preferred genre followed by a second choice in genre. When the reading period begins we will transmit either the electronic version to you or mail the printed books. Sorry, we cannot promise a preference in print or electronic, we need to go with what each author or publisher deems appropriate.
We hope to hear from you.
Any questions please write Angie at lrmgoldenroses@gmail.com or Gina at ginalrmrerviews@gmail.com.
