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.

“Family didn’t give up. Family kept going”

“If you betray me this time, shoot me. Straight through the heart. Make sure I’m dead because I don’t want to live in a world where you betray me twice. Promise me.”

“You have an interrogation room?” Charlie asked, her voice incredulous. “Doesn’t everyone?” He wasn’t going to apologize for having a proper home. Dungeon. Check. Interrogation room. Check. She didn’t even know that he’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?”

  • 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 wasn’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.

Mia
 
An island fling was the last thing I expected when I agreed to spend a month on a tropical island with Graham and Soraya as nanny to their sweet little boy. I was planning to relax with the family, enjoy the sun, and get a break from law school...
 
Then a shirtless, tanned Adonis runs onto our beach and into my life.
 
JT is mysterious, rugged, and his gruff exterior should have sent me running in the opposite direction. But something about the man excites me, challenges me to push past my insecurities. And though I don't see myself as a "fling" kind of girl, maybe it's just what I need to move on from my painful past. The trouble is JT has quickly imprinted himself on my soul, and saying goodbye to him is going to break me.
 
JT
 
Going back to the island, the only place I felt like myself, was a no-brainer. Not just somewhere to seek refuge from business, family, and especially women. It's a place of serenity...to clear my head and get rid of the anger of betrayal and figure out what I want to do with my life.
 
Then Mia happens, forcing her way into my heart. Like a violent storm that rushes in, wreaking havoc but ultimately ushering in a new dawn. She sees things in me I never knew existed. But our worlds are spinning in different directions, and no matter how badly I want to hang on, the force pulling us apart might just be too strong for both of us.

Life isn’t fair.

If anyone on Earth should know that, it’s Milena Semyonov.

She’s suffered blow after blow, and the hits just keep on coming.

Just when she’s sworn off being happy, that maybe being numb is the better way to navigate life, she meets him.
Cutter Carson Clayborne.

The man that finally shows her how a real man is supposed to treat her.

Just when she didn’t think life could get any worse, the man that abused her as a young, impressionable teen is back, showing her that life can, in fact, get worse.

When she’s ready to quit, Cutter is there, making sure that she knows that he’ll be there, whether she wants him there or not.

He is her husband, after all. And the unlikely pair have an understanding that they’ll stay married for two years, make a baby, and join two crime syndicates in unholy matrimony.

Cutter has other plans, though. He only agrees to the original plan to make her his.

He won’t ever give her up. What’s his stays his. And there’s not a man on the earth that’ll ever touch Milena again. Not with Cutter alive and able to take out anyone that tries.

Broody. Hot. Intoxicating.
 
Nastya Semyonov first met Haze at a bar, but for Haze Hopkins, duty calls before either can act on their desires. He’s gone without a glance back, leaving her thinking that maybe all the hot looks were only one-sided.
 
Fast forward to the next day, Nastya hitches a ride to her car that she left behind the night before, only to run into the same man from last night.
 
Neither one truly thinks before they act, and they spend a hot fifteen minutes in a fast-food restaurant bathroom before parting ways again.
 
It’s as she’s walking back to her car that she realizes how badly she’s screwed up.
 
Because her car is surrounded in police tape, and there’s one very angry man wearing a badge standing in front of it with her name on an arrest warrant for killing a man.
 
Mistakes were made. Repeatedly.
 
But Detective Haze Hopkins isn’t complaining.
 
He was ready to quit, anyway.
 
Crime pays better.

There was right, there was wrong, and then there was the in-between.
 
The place where normal people reside, understanding that there are two sides to every coin. People that do bad things for good reasons. People that do bad things for bad reasons.
 
First, I knew that Shasha Semyonov was a bad man. One that did bad things for bad reasons. That didn’t mean that I was rational when it came to him.
 
He was toxic to my health, yet I wanted him anyway.
 
They say the first step to healing is admitting when you have a problem.
 
My problem happened to be six feet two inches tall, two hundred and twenty pounds, and bearded to perfection.
 
Oh, and he was also the scariest guy I knew.
 
Meanwhile, I was the laughingstock of the city.
 
The woman who was cheated on by her boyfriend with her best friend, and it was captured live while a band played in the background, perfectly accenting the humiliating video.
 
There was no way that Shasha Semyonov would notice me.
Right?
 
Wrong.
 
I’d definitely been noticed.
