March 2023 Featured Authors

Mar. 07, 2023

March 2023 Featured Authors - Storied Conversation

Welcome to March 2023 Authors of the Month. I know this post is a little late. I like to have these up early but y’all know why so I’m going to just get started on sharing this month’s authors.

Two of the authors this month are familiar to me while one is completely new. She came from the list the readers gave me. So I’m excited to learn more about her as well.

Lexi Blake

If you have been following me for a while you know that I love Lexi Blake. You also know that Ian Taggert is my favorite dom of all time! I mean he just cracks me up and makes me melt all in the space of a single page. I know I share quotes from time to time but honestly I can’t talk about Ian Taggert and not share some of goodness.

โ€œFamily didnโ€™t give up. Family kept goingโ€

โ€œIf you betray me this time, shoot me. Straight through the heart. Make sure Iโ€™m dead because I donโ€™t want to live in a world where you betray me twice. Promise me.โ€

โ€œYou have an interrogation room?โ€ Charlie asked, her voice incredulous. โ€œDoesnโ€™t everyone?โ€ He wasnโ€™t going to apologize for having a proper home. Dungeon. Check. Interrogation room. Check. She didnโ€™t even know that heโ€™d turned the shed in the back into a detention cell. Now that he thought about it, he really had made this house into a home. He just needed Charlie to pick out shit like curtains. Should he put curtains in his detention cell?โ€

  • Lexi+Blake+One to Keep
  • Lexi+Blake+Master+No
  • Butterfly Bayou
  • Love and Let Die

Of course that is not to say that none of her other books or series aren’t good. They are just as amazing and I love them. Her writing as Sophie Oak is how I actually discovered her. The town of Bliss is a place that I would visit if it were real.

About Lexi Blake

NY Times and USA Today bestselling author Lexi Blake lives in North Texas with her husband, three kids, and the laziest rescue dog int eh world. She began writing at a young age, concentrating on plays and journalism. It wasnโ€™t until she started writing romance and urban fantasy that she found the stories of her heart. She likes to find humor in the strangest places and believes in happy endings no matter how odd the couple, threesome, or foursome may seem.

Claudia Burgoa

I have only read one book by Claudia Burgoa, so when she was mentioned by a reader I thought why not. I enjoyed the book I read. It was very funny and I loved the characters.

  • Maybe Later by Claudia Burgoa
  • Love Like Her
  • Along Came You
  • Defying Our Forever

I’ve had several readers of the blog suggest her to me over the years and now is the time to dip my toe in. With little more than therapy to do at the moment I have several series to start and this author is certainly on the pile.

About Claudia Burgoa

Claudia is an award-winning, USA Today bestselling author.
She writes alluring, thrilling stories about complicated women and the men who take their breath away.
She lives in Denver, Colorado with her husband and her youngest two children. She has a sweet Bichon, Macey, who thinks she's the ruler of the house. She's only partially right.
When Claudia is not writing, you can find her reading, knitting, or just hanging out with her family.
At night, she likes to binge watch shows with her equally geeky husband.

Deborah Harkness

Can I admit that I know who Deborah Harkness is because of a television but that I have never read the books nor watched the show? Don’t ask me why I just haven’t.

  • A Discovery of Witches
  • Shadow of Night
  • The Book of Life
  • Times Convert

Please don’t come after me for having not read them. I know it is a popular series. I just haven’t gotten to it as of yet.

Holly Lorena Cain, formerly known as Georgina Lorena Cain, was well acquainted with rock bottom. Sheโ€™s coasted along its rocky shores for years. It all started when her mother left her when she was barely old enough to understand. For years, her and her dad struggled to make ends meet. A dying cattle farm canโ€™t run itself, and with her dad having cancer, it got harder and harder to hang on to land thatโ€™s been in her family for generations.

Just as she thinks that sheโ€™s finally made it, her father passes away and leaves every single thing he owns to their neighbor. The man thatโ€™d been worming his way into her fatherโ€™s good graces while sheโ€™d been away pursuing higher education.

But she canโ€™t be mad.

Being mad would mean that she has a soul left, but she sold that a long time ago to pay for college.

Once she comes to terms with her father and the land being gone, she moves back to Bear Pass and with one thing on her mindโ€”avoid Denver at all costs. He can never know just how much it hurt that he stole her life away from her.

Only, he makes it impossibly hard to stay away.

Heโ€™s there around every corner. He offers her a place to stay. Makes sure she has a place to work. Fixes her car. Saves her from a kidnapper. Oh, and gives her everything her heart desires.

She stays away as best as she can, but she doesnโ€™t stand a chance against Denverโ€™s determination and charm. Heโ€™s there when no one else is, peeling her off the floor and propping her back up again each time she falls.

The gruff motorcycle club president with his scary glares and harsh work ethic has decided to make her his, and he wonโ€™t stand for her refusal.

Heโ€™s been protecting her for her entire life, and she doesnโ€™t even know it.

He wonโ€™t stop now, even if sheโ€™s bound and determined to stay away.
