Reading Recommendations

Not only do I write books, I read them, too! Shocking, I know, but it’s a very enjoyable pastime and I can’t seem to stop? Anyway, if you also like books (if not, why are you here??) then take a look at some of my favorites. I’ve sorted by subgenre.

Non-Regency Historicals | Science Fiction | Fantasy | Paranormal | Fairy Tales | Contemporary | Steampunk

(The books on this page are all HEA romances unless otherwise noted. I wouldn’t do you dirty like that!)

Non-Regency Historicals

Are you tired of dukes? I’m pretty tired of dukes and the fetishization of the British aristocracy. Here are some historical romances that go beyond dukes, earls, and even viscounts.
cover of The Most Beautiful Girl in Cuba, showing a dark haired woman wearing a white victorian dress. with her back to the viewer she looks out over a harbor
cover of My Fake Rake, showing a blond white man embracing a dark haired white woman in a red dress. she holds his glasses in one hand against his shoulder. behind them are library book stacks.
cover of The Smoke Hunter: a white woman with updo and white button shirt stands in foreground of misty jungle scene, behind her is a white man in white tee shirt and suspenders, carrying a machete

Science Fiction

I’m a sucker for a good space opera, but not so much for alien mates.

Fantasy aka Romantasy

Give a female protagonist a sword, and you have my attention.

Cover of A Heart of Blood and Ashes by Milla Vane

Paranormal

Paranormal and paramour have almost all the same letters. Coincidence?

Fairy Tales

Fairy tales is where I started as a reader, and it’s a well I’m always going to return to.

Contemporary

I’ll be honest. The contemporary world confuses me, but I did manage to fall in love in the 21st century and I hope you do too.

Steampunk

Alternate histories intrigue me. Alternate history sexytimes? Also intriguing.
