There is something about a 'happily ever after' that, no matter how hard it is to get there, it is so satisfying when you do. If there is a little humor mixed in with mystery that can take your emotions on a rollercoaster, thatâs all the better. I decided to write romance because I do believe in fairy tales. I believe love is a choice. You make it what you want. I am a romantic suspense author because I love the thrill of solving the crime. In many cases, truth is stranger than fiction. Many times I use real-life issues and moments in time in my writing to pique the readers' curiosity.
This is a story about the Westbrook family. The family is wealthy, they love each other, but they have horrible communication skills. Each one has a secret or a lie or something that doesnât need to be shared with the family, all with the thought of protecting them. Unfortunately, the secrets could have devastating consequences. Halton Westbrook has a problem with people. They scare him to death. The lie he has carried since childhood has taken the only person he feels comfortable with away from him, until now. Though Avery Maxwellâs books sometimes cover dark subjects, she mixes in just the right amount of humor and romance to keep you turning the pages when you should be sleeping. I loved this story because I identified so much with the anxiety that Halton experienced. I found myself crying for him and his debilitating fear. It was so raw and so spotâŚ
She's the only one I'll ever love, but I had to let her go. Rylan Maroney is the biggest lie I've ever told, and it nearly destroyed everyone in my life. No matter how much it hurts, I can never have her again.
He broke my heart and walked away, but he hasn't let me go. Halton Westbrook has haunted my life from four thousand miles away for the last eight years. I've tried to move on, but he makes it impossible.
No one knows about us or why I ran away, but he's gone too far this time, andâŚ

There is so much I loved about this book and this entire series. The series Bootleg Springs, about the Bodine family, was co-written by Claire Kingsley and Lucy Score. Whiskey Chaser has a sassy heroine named Scarlet, who I absolutely adore. She doesnât take crap from anyone. When she meets a big city visitor at her lakeside retreat her quick wit and take no prisoners attitude proves she can do anything a man can doâŚand more. Whiskey Chaser is the first book in the series that mixes romance, humor, and a great mystery.
I want this with you, Dev. I want a big house and wild kids and bonfires. Raised by her three overbearing brothers, Scarlett is a hell-raising tomboy with a tool belt. A tornado stirring up trouble everywhere she goes. Her favorite pastimes? Drinking any man under the table and two-stepping. But she has zero interest in love. Scarlettâs only being neighborly when she claims her sexy next-door neighbor as her new pet project.
Devlin is a man at rock bottom. Marriage, political career, five-year plan to Washington, D.C. All destroyed with one well-placed jab. The golden boy is now theâŚ

This was one of the first romance books I read, and it has stuck with me. Luke is a grouchy military guy that is tired of his familyâs meddling or anyone elseâs for that matter. His bristly personality keeps most at bay but when Harper stumbles into his life he realizes heâs going to have a hard time keeping her out of his life. Sheâs not deterred by his grumpiness and Lukeâs true protective personality starts to emerge. Not to give anything away, but the romance of these two was what was memorable about this book.
Luke Garrison is a hometown hero, a member of the National Guard ready to deploy again. He's strong, sexy, broody. The last thing he's looking for is a woman to ruin his solitude. When the wildly beautiful Harper stumbles into his life, though, he realizes that she's the perfect decoy. A fake girlfriend to keep his family off his back until he's deployed.
So what if kissing her sends his mind to wicked places? He can control himself. Can't he?
Harper was on her way to starting a new life... again. But something aboutâŚ
In The Romantics, Dr. Harrison Ramsey's meticulously planned life collides with the ex he swore to forget. A prosperous plastic surgeon, Harrison is a member of an elite, exclusive Houston club, while Zuri faces professional ruin after a messy breakup. When circumstances force themâŚ

For me, a strong character that tugs at my emotions will keep me reading every time. Brittney Sahin is a master of character development and one of my favorite books of all time is The Real Deal. Sebastian is a bad guyâŚor is he. There are so many layers to this huge character that I was torn about falling in love with him. He was a bad guy, but he had a good reason and though he tried to steer Holly away from his life, she saw through his rough exterior.
A mysterious Irish billionaire is about to make the deal of his life.
Holly McGregor shouldn't be attracted to someone on the board of directors at her company. But she can't avoid his unforgiving stare, deny their electric chemistry, or resist his touch, his mouth, the dangerous invitation she sees in his eyes.
Her family hates him, and the city fears him, but she knows there's another side to Sebastian Renaud because he slipped--he let her witness the light beneath the dark. And now that she's had a taste, she only wants to discover more.
Iâve been reading sapphic or lesbian romances ever since I got my hands on Touchwood and Curious Wine decades ago. When not writing contemporary sapphic romances, Iâm always reading them. Happily ever afters havenât always been the case for two women in love, least of all in fiction. I write sapphic romances to provide for other women like me what I hoped to find in bookstores when I was younger. It wasnât easy to find a romantic story between two women, let alone have choices. Representation matters, and writingâand readingâbooks about two women in love is important to me and women like me, especially as states ban such books.
Levigâs characters in Embracing the Dawn leap from the page. Theyâre fully realized, three-dimensional women with interesting backstories. Itâs an unusual pairing, but that doesnât decrease the swoon-worthy component any.
Iâve heard readers are fascinated with either E.J. or Jinx, myself no exception. Like in my last recommendation, I adore when a character canât help herself from showing up time and time again, and this romance provides.
Levig supplements her love interests with intriguing and complex side characters who are just as loveable as the main characters. Levig doesnât shy away from difficult subjects, and how E.J. and Jinx support and strengthen each other makes their romance even more swoon worthy.
Youâll be ordering the second book in the series before youâre done with the first.
Does love have a chance when no one knows she wants it?
Jinx Tanner is an ex-con trying to piece together a life on the outside and heal her relationship with her half-sister who hasnât spoken to her in over twenty-five years. Romantic love is now here on her radar. E. J. Bastien is a business executive with her life and heart under control. She has a successful career, a woman in her bed whenever she wants one, and a healthy relationship with her grown childrenâas long as they donât find out sheâs gay. She has no desire for romanticâŚ
Having spent most of my life in the Midwest, I know a little (or a lot) about growing up in a small-town environment. When I was younger, I was annoyed by all the things I now find charming about this genre of romance books. The nosy neighbor, the know-it-all jock, the downtrodden wallflower? Stereotypical but oh-so-real. I have written several series set in small towns and have come to love them all. Itâs now my go-to genre when I want to sit and relax.
I write romance with Latinas on top. Strong, confident, and successful women (or women on their path to success) who are also sex-positive and know what they want are featured in all my work. Iâm passionate about this type of representation of my community because until recently, it has been incredibly difficult to find. While the stories of our struggles are important stories to tell and read, I want to read more stories of our triumphs. Latina women have among the lowest reading for fun rates of any group, but why would we read for fun when we are not seeing our reflection anywhere on the page? This is why representation is so important.
Whenever I need a low-angst, light-hearted rom-com, Carla Luna is my go-to. White Wedding is my favorite of hers, featuring hot, Mexican-American chef, Rafael Sanchez.
Rafael breaks every common stereotype of the Mexican man. Incredibly patient, gentle, and loving, he is the perfect cinnamon-roll hero for Victoria Blackwood.
The premise of this book is everything. Our heroine, Victoria, is stuck planning a wedding. It just so happens the groom is her ex. Enter Rafael to cater the wedding. Oh, did I forget to mention he was her one-night stand she ran out on? Yes, this book is as delicious as it sounds.
This book made me laugh out loud, embarrassingly, in public places. Perfect for a weekend escape into a happy world.
Take one lavish holiday wedding. Add one evil ex and his bridezilla. And toss in a smoking-hot chef from the past. Itâs a recipe for disaster.
Victoria Blackwood has spent years trying to redeem herself after falling victim to a blackmail scheme that cost her father thousands. So, when he insists she coordinate a big Christmas wedding at her familyâs winery, she canât say no. Even if the groom is her ex, and the caterer just quit.
For Rafael Sanchez, a last-minute call to cater a huge society wedding is a golden opportunity. If he can prove heâs up toâŚ
Passionate military members are my jam, and I feel pretty confident writing about them. First, I write erotic romance myself, giving me something of an inside view of what makes a good erotic romance with a military vibe. Second, I read a lot of them. Even if the story is a mite slow, youâve got that alpha military guy whoâs going to pull the story out. Or at least, thatâs the way itâs worked in every military erotic romance Iâve read. Last, as I mentioned earlier, I was raised in the Navy. Iâve seen lots of men in uniform and the sight never fails to give me a thrill. I think I recognize that passion when I see it.
Another SEAL. Are you detecting a pattern here? What can I say? Theyâre strong in mind and body. True alpha men. This is an action novel when Jon Rudnick comes home to the woman he had a one-night stand with just before shipping off for Afghanistan. Sheâs in danger and whoâs better to ride into the rescue. This book portrays the Navy a little more realistically by showing the government red tape to screw things up. As a Navy brat, I can vouch for the fact that the military is not always the easiest to deal with. Still, who doesnât love it, and the steamy romances inspired by it?
A Navy SEAL. A one-night stand. The woman he can't get off his mind... Ten years of dedication to the Navy taught SEAL Jon Rudnick one thingâheâs not afraid to risk life and limb for his country. But when navigating military red tape begins to present more challenges than the enemy it makes Jon question his future. So does Alison Cressly, the woman who doesnât do one-night stands or SEALs but who broke both rules with Jon the eve of his deployment to Afghanistan. He canât get her out of his headânot while away and not now that heâs back.âŚ
We have always loved to read about the bad boy with a secret soft side and when we started writing together, we decided to jump on this genre as well. Writing in dual POVs gives us an opportunity to explore how the bad boy is perceived by others as well as show exactly what the bad boy is thinkingâŚand we love it! There's nothing better than a misunderstood alpha who hides his true feelings because he doesnât feel worthy. And when he finds that amazing woman who just gets himâŚmagic! We hope you enjoy our very own bad boy with a secret soft side in our book Complicate Me.
Weâve been long-time fans of KA Tucker, who can pretty much write anything and make it amazing and this book, the last in her Ten Tiny Breaths series is no different. Weâve followed Ben for the whole series and while heâs always appeared to be the typical alpha bad boy just looking to get laid, his story shows a whole new side of him. Underneath that cocky exterior is a total mamaâs boy who will do anything for his family and, when he finally admits it, the girl he falls for. Watching him and Reese fight their attraction, then try to deny their feelings, before ultimately giving in, was great. And even though Ben turns into an adorable marshmallow, he keeps enough of his cheekiness to make him even more adorable.
Purple-haired, sharp-tongued Reese MacKay knows all about making the wrong choice; she's made plenty of them in her twenty-odd-years. So when her impulsive, short-lived marriage ends in heartbreak, she decides it's time for a change. She moves to Miami with the intention of hitting reset on her irresponsible life, and she does quite well...aside from an epically humiliating one-night stand in Cancun with a hot blond bouncer named Ben. Thank God she can get on a plane and leave thatmistake behind her.
Football scholarship and frat parties with hot chicks? Part of charmer Ben Morris's plan. Blown knee that killsâŚ
Itâs often been said of musical theatre that the point when the characters begin to sing is the point their emotions become too much to express in words alone. I think thatâs one reason Iâm so obsessed with books about people connecting over music, art, and performanceâit allows for so much passion and intensity. Having sung and played instruments over the years, I know how powerful it can feel to make music with other people, even when youâre not in love! These days, though, I spend more time reading and writing about music than I do playing it.
I love fantasy stories where music and magic intertwine, and this novel combines that with one of my other favourite tropesâcharacters going on a shared journey. Itâs the perfect way to throw characters together, force them to get close, and make them jointly deal with all kinds of situations. Annice is a bard whose flute playing has magical powers. Finding herself pregnant after a one-night stand, she ends up on the run with the babyâs father, a man she never expected to see again. Theyâre drawn together initially by Anniceâs music, and I love the way music helps them come to understand each other better.
The Bards of Shkoder hold the country together. They, and the elemental spirits they Sing â earth, air, fire, and water - bring the news of the sea to the mountains, news of the mountains to the plains. They give their people, from peasant to king, a song in common.
Annice is a rare talent, able to Sing all four quarters, but her brother, the newly enthroned King Theron, sees her request to study at the Bardic Hall as a betrayal. To his surprise, Annice accepts his conditions, renouncing her royal blood and swearing to remain childless so as notâŚ
