Another year of Stomp vs Romp has come and gone; I’m sure that you’re all anxious to find out the results, and whether you won any of the giveaways. But first, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who participated and who helped make this event such a huge success! I hope you had fun, and that you’ll join The Book Nympho and I in 2015 for our FOURTH year of Stomp vs Romp! We’ll most likely be switching sides again, so it’ll be my turn to bat for Team ROMP—prepare yourselves because I’m a complainer, and I don’t wanna read Romance for a whole month. *cries* 😉
We promote this event as being an epic battle, but in reality it’s more of friendly rivalry, because for the past two years Stomp vs Romp has ended in a tie, and I expected more of the same in 2014. Let’s face it, whether you are an Urban Fantasy reader or a Paranormal Romance junkie, we all like there to be a little of both in our books. However, if you’re REALLY competitive—Team ROMP won by 0.1% (2 votes). I personally think that that is too close to call… Ok, enough of my blabbing, here are the dets:

Ha! Well, things are going to be a bit more quiet for the next few months, so hopefully you don’t get bored after all of August’s action.
Congrats my fellow winners but a big thanks to our awesome authors who participated and made the event so much fun as well as our fabulous hosts who make it happen. I love this event even though I hate picking sides because Carmel’s right I like a little of both. 🙂

I don’t know how we’re ever going to be able to top this year’s posts, but we’ll try!
Wow, right down the middle. Which makes sense to me actually. I love them both equally.

Some authors are hesitant to participate because of the competitive aspect, but once I tell them it’ll be a tie they’re all in.
I was rooting for Romp, so yep, let’s call it a tie 😉 Actually, I ws surprised at how close it was.
Congrats to all the winners, and cheers to a fantastic event!
