35 shortlistees and no novels written by men. Men DO tend to hog most book prizes, but I find it hard to believe the nominations didn't include any 'male talent'.
Some of these names may be pseudonymous. Some men write romance novels under a women's name...
Congratulations to all nominees - you're all fab. xxx
The number 1 bestselling romantic comedy title on Amazon Kindle right now is "Mad Love" by Nick Spalding. David Nicholls is probably the bestselling romcom author in the UK over the last 10 years - "One Day" has sold over 5 million copies around the world. I honestly don't believe these shortlists reflect men writing as women. They do reflect large publishing house/imprint dominance, and the cliché of certain readers reading certain books.
congrats to all who are shortlisted .. x
Congrats to all nominees. I am so excited to download eBook of romance novel so I can read and enjoy full story in my upcoming nights.

Dr joy is a trust worthy spell caster and he will be of great help to you. I never believed in spell casting but After 4 years of marriage my husband left me because I lost my womb, and i was unable to give birth to children. I felt like my life has come to an end, and i almost committed suicide, i was emotionally down for a very long time, but thanks to this spell caster called Dr joy whom i met online after my friend Becky Ross told me how he also helped her to bring back her husband in less than 2 days. I believed her and decided to give Dr joy a try and i contacted him on his email joylovespell@gmail.com. and explained my problems to him. He laughed and told me that In less than 2 days, my Husband will come back to me again, and that he will restore my womb and i will give birth to children. At first i thought it was a joke but i took courage and believed as Dr joy has said and it did happen just as this Great spell caster said, My husband called me and was crying, begging for forgiveness. I forgive him and today i am so glad that all worries and problems has gone away, and we are even happier than before, another good news is that i am pregnant now, and very soon we will have our baby. Dr joy is really a gifted and a powerful spiritual man and i will not stop publishing him because he is a wonderful man.
