Welcome to the 7th Annual CAPA Awards!

Welcome to our 7th Annual CAPA Awards everyone!

What are the CAPA's? They are awards given by The Romance Studio for excellence in romantic and erotic fiction. Categories include inspirational, contemporary, fantasy, historical, mainstream, paranormal, romantic suspense, erotic contemporary, erotic fantasy, erotic historical, erotic paranormal, erotic anthology, BDSM, and the Ariana Overton Award for Best Cover Art or the Ari.

Only books reviewed by The Romance Studio after November 26, 2008 and prior to November 25, 2009 with a publication date during that time were considered for the awards (with the exception of the Psyche Award). (Please note that overall ratings given to books in posted reviews at TRS were not indicative of book(s) strength or weakness in consideration).

The Psyche Award is a category for romances that did not meet the nomination criteria but that our reviewers felt deserved special recognition. Books in this category have not previously received a CAPA award.

Each year since we started, the reviewers at TRS only make the nominations. Only our reviewers and about 50 readers (and there's a list of criteria for those) who have participated at TRS in a giveaway or event at least once per month in that year are invited to the final vote.


Thank you for coming out today and if you're slow to respond, we get that you're watching the Olympics. LOL

Good luck everyone. All our nominees are winners as far as I'm concerned.

Thank you!
