point I'm still tentatively asking 'you sure?' Not ony did
It's really, really special to see both Society of Masters novels up there, and amongst such fine, outstanding authors too. Not to mention it's also double the fun for Lynn, as MY BROTHER'S LOVER is also on the Finalist list!
Hand on heart, I honestly thought Antidote would be too dark, too brutal, (and I know where Lynn's thoughts were going with My Brother's Lover too!), so I echo her words by saying: it's so damn good to see such an open-minded judging panel!
For Antidote's Honorable Mention Award, the judge's comments were gorgeous!
"Yes,
this book is brutal, and painfully so, but the brutality is never
glamorized. The intensity of emotion in this book is raw and honest. The
main characters made me care deeply for their plight, although the
antagonists were also well-drawn and not cardboard cutouts. Overall, an
impressive story that gripped me from the beginning and makes me want to
read the other books in the series."
So Again, just a huge thank you to those over at the 2014 Rainbow Awards for being so open to the darker side of romance! It's such a pleasure to see!
