“Killer Secrets” by Lora Leigh
Lethargic from lunch and Sven’s magical hands of shea buttery bliss, Sheridan settled comfortably on her Corona float, intent on continuing her journey on a new and wondrous series featuring hot and sexy Navy SEALs (eat that GI Joe!!) who, from the looks of things, are all possessive alpha bad-boys who eat danger with their morning wheaties. “Ah. God bless the United States of America!” perked Sheridan, startling Ma’mselle Mimi (who had just managed to balance on her My Little Pony float) with her sudden salute. “Sorry M!” cried Sheridan, wincing sheepishly as Mimi’s now soggy black stetson floated past.

A little birdie has told us about Book Blogger Appreciation Week and suggested that Ripmybodice.com throws our stylish statement hats into the ring. If you have an appreciation for snark and RMB’s amusing, irreverent and ok fine, sometimes inflammatory reviews and are filled with overwhelming gratitude that we’ve saved you from reading some real clunkers, how about nominating us for:
Best Romance Blog
Best Name for a Blog
Funniest/ Most Humorous Blog
Best Commentator (really, feel free to nominate any one of us. Our friendship can withstand the test, never fear we’ll go all Simon & Garfunkel on you)
Sadly, our informant little birdie dropped the ball and got sidetracked by a hot male birdie, so she only told us about this yesterday. So err… yes, nominations close on 31 August 2008. Write in to Bbawawards@gmail.com soon (like, today actually)!
XOXO,
Lola, Sheri & Mimi

“Untamed” by Nora Roberts
“Ahhh…” Lola sank into the raspberry-scented bubbles. “Nothing beats soaking in my bubble bath at the end of a very long day testing out Juan’s newest coconut-banana massage. Nearly made some off-colour jokes about coconuts and bananas, but refrained lest I hurt his feelings. Shall read “Untamed” since I have been meaning to get to it for a while. Short, category romance. Shouldn’t be too wrinkly by the time I finish.”

“A Duke of Her Own” by Lorraine Heath
The back of “A Duke of Her Own” reads, “Lady Louisa longs to marry for passion and love— but will she find happiness in the arms of the duke?” A word to the wise, Lady Louisa, it’s just as easy to find happiness in the arms of a rich alpha male as a poorer one, plus you’ll get to wear nicer shoes. Zing!

“Cowgirl Up and Ride” by Lorelei James
Sheridan came tottering into the RMB office, arms laden with bags of Japanese take-out. “Lo, I’m back! It’s just us lunching in today, because Mimi muttered something about tracking down some Charles Manson memorabilia, so she’s AWOL for the next 2 days. So here’s your tonkatsu-don and…. Holy cow!” Sheridan stopped short at the sight of a cut-out cow wearing a diamond tiara. “Um, Lola? Why are there bales of hay and inflatable cactuses all over the place?”

The RMB girls gather around their large crystal punch bowl filled to the brim with all the different flavours of Absolut vodka, in their Vic’s Secret PINK PJs, chanting:
“Double double toil and trouble,
Spam bots make our blood bubble.
Round about the punch bowl go
In the pink bath bombs throw.
Scale of fish, an old wisdom tooth
An out of season shoe, and a piece of an old booth.
O Romance Gods hear our cries
And of these spam bots whom we deeply despise.
Throw them into a pit so deep
That into our website, their comments no longer creep.

“Running Wild” by Sarah McCarty
A ballad of three wolven brothers by Troubaudor Lola and Minstrel Sheridan - Part III (Wyatt’s Story)
I
Now twere the tale of the third wolven brethren
A tale we have saved for laste
For Wyatt the alpha of the werewolves,
Will break his lover’s sexual faste
Looking e’er at his cousins, his loyal lieutenants at his side
Having founde luve both of them, he could not help but sigh
“O where is my lady love, wherefore doth she tarry,
When I long to hold her in mine arms, and in a feather bed be merry.”
