Each giveaway is different and each has ONE WINNER. MY GIVEAWAYS ARE ALWAYS OPEN INTERNATIONAL 

2.   Each giveaway runs UNTIL DECEMBER 13.

3.   Winners are CHOSEN and NOTIFIED on December 14. I will be notifying winners USING THE EMAIL USED TO COMMENT ON THIS BLOG – and all winners will BE LISTED AT THE TOP OF EACH GIVEAWAY POST HERE ON MY WEBSITE on December 14.

4.   Winners have 24 hours to respond, then another winner will be chosen.

5.   ALL PRIZES WILL BE MAILED ON DECEMBER 15.  If I’m waiting on a winner to respond and they miss the December 15 mail date, that prize will be mailed when I get around to it.

6.   I will send newsletters announcing giveaways on December 1, December 6, December 12, and a Winner newsletter on December 14. I NEVER send this many newsletters in a month so sorry if that feels spammy.

DESCRIPTION

Collin built a kill team. Lowyn built an empire.

Twelve years after breaking her heart, he’s back for a fresh start—and a second chance.

But Lowyn isn’t the good girl he left behind.

Old sins rise, secrets burn, and this small town’s revival is ready to blow.

Love this dangerous always leaves a mark.

Enemies-to-Lovers meets Touch-Her-and-Die.

Twelve years ago, when he was just eighteen and dreaming of a future with his high school sweetheart, Collin Creed learned something about himself. Something so disturbing he left Disciple to join the Marines and didn’t once look back. But all that came to a screeching halt with the congressional hearings, forcing Collin to return home and rebuild his black-ops empire brick by brick.

Lowyn McBride’s heart broke when Collin shut her out and left town without an explanation just as they were getting ready to start their adult lives together. The death of her mother the following year was a make-or-break moment and Lowyn rose to the occasion, giving up her university education to parent her younger sister while building an empire of her own as a specialty antiques dealer.

Anger and desire, guilt and shame—the return of the enigmatic Collin Creed ignites the town and sparks an explosion of emotions inside Lowyn. But he’s not the only one with a secret in his past. Lowyn has always played the good girl to Collin’s bad-boy reputation. But it turns out—she’s just like everyone else up in these hills—not as wholesome and pure as she looks.

The Rumble and the Glory is a cinematic and spicy small-town secret, second-chance romance wrapped up in a cloak of mystery and suspense. It honors the themes of found family, redemptive anti-hero, and is filled with bigger-than-life, morally-grey characters against a backdrop of deceit and deception.

Inside the pages you’ll find…

Spicy Second Chance
Small Town Secrets
Touch Her and Die
He Falls First
Enemies to Lovers
Morally Grey
Found Family
Second Chance
Childhood Sweethearts
Anti-Hero

MY ANSWER

I have to be honest here, I am a VERY picky reader. If I get 3/4 of the way through a book, that’s like a 4.5 for me. lol. I almost NEVER finish a book. I get bored. So if I finish a book, it’s a 5. Even if I have issues with it. If I flip that last page, it’s a 5. If an author can get me all the way to the end, they deserve all those stars. I almost always chuck a book into the DNF pile at chapter 2. 

I just have very specific taste in what kind of book I like. It’s got to have a pretty near-perfect premise for me to even consider reading it. And it doesn’t matter what genre it is – I like a good domestic thriller with a great narrator just as much as a speculative fantasy based on the Roman Empire (I’m lookin’ at you, The Will of the Many).

I’m not looking for tropes, I’m looking for an experience. And if it’s EXTRA DARK, it gets EXTRA STARS!

AND HERE is a sneak peek of tomorrow’s giveaway!

    1. Oh man, this is a hard one!

      My favorite trope is romantasy, hurt comfort probably. As someone with a chronic illness, the idea of someone taking care of me just hits all of the checkboxes.

      I love all of your series, and especially this one!

      Wondering if you have any more books with Jonathan McLain scheduled? ❤️

      Reply

    3. I like all different kinds of books. Sometimes thriller and other times spicy. I try to mix it up because I’m always reading more than one book at a time and dont want them to be too similar that I forget who the characters are.

      Reply

    4. Love the dark side but also love a rom com just as much. Didn’t think I’d enjoy this series but the are absolutely brilliant ❤️

      Reply

  4. I like Best friends brother, dark romance, forbidden. Also if I cant get into the book within the first few chapters I wont continue reading it no longer has my interest

    Reply

  7. I love many different types of books, really depends on the mood I’m in. I can go anywhere from a soft, fluffy, YA type book to a dark, twisted, and gorey Thriller, that definitely makes people question my mental stability 😅. What I love most is a good story and good writing, you got that and I’ll love it.

    Reply

  9. I have dnf’d so many books this year. I just get bored to. I like to escape and enter the world I am reading. I am a vibe reader who is also moody. Sometimes I like dark and gritty and then sometimes I am over the sexy times and switch to YA for a couple of books. Basically if the story is good I dont care about the genre or type.

    Reply

  10. I truly enjoy a variety of books but especially small town and romcom. There’s something about a small town that sucks me in!

    Reply

  11. I am a fan of different reads. It depends on how I am feeling if I will enjoy a darker romance that day or not. I do love rom coms, paranormal and rh.

    Reply

  12. I love romance! It seems like I’ve read all the various kinds but if the story holds my interest I’m willing to try it!!!

    Reply

  14. I like many genres but 90% of them these days fall under romance. I like my characters to grow during the book and trauma/comfort is my favorite trope.

    Reply

  15. I generally love a book that will make me laugh, but this year I found myself going way outside my normal…and actually enjoying them (I made my way through almost all of the Dune series and spinoff series on audio, they were amazing!).

    Happy holidays, Julie! ❤️🎄❤️

    Reply

  16. I’ll read anything as long as it has romance in it, but I definitely have a soft spot for small-town love stories and darker, edgier romances ❤️🖤

    Reply

  18. I read a lot of different books. When I was younger I could never not finish a book, even if it was terrible.😄 Nowadays I don’t waste my time with books that don’t captivate me.

    Reply

    1. I love variety!! The only thing is the book has to hook me in the few chapters or I have to leave it and move on. I loved 3,2,1. I love a book with twist and things that you don’t see coming whether its pregnancy, a three way, or even a kidnapping long as the story stays interesting!!

      Reply

  19. I’m a mostly dark romance reader. I will read other types of romance, but if I have to choose, i’m going dark. I really like mafia, secret society, and currently, really, in my hockey era, romances.

    Reply

  20. I love to read books set in the summer on the beach. That is how I grew up. On the Carolina coast, on Folly Beach. I even dream of it in the winter.

    Reply

  23. To be honest, I will read almost anything. Different phases of my life I’ve been more into different things, started off with horror from my early teens (books I definitley should not have read) through to early 20’s. 20’s to late 30’s was more paranormal and 30’s to now (late 40’s) has been more romantasy and distopian-ish reads but, I’ve read historical, religious fiction, romance, romantasy, sci-fi, dark romance, fantasy, pretty much most genres but, as long as the book hooks me, I will read it. Also, I’m a cover reader so the cover of the book has to catch me, even if it’s a 5* book with reviews, the cover has to have something which catches me before I’ll read it. My go-to currently is more the romantasy type but there’s not many genre’s I won’t try

    Reply

  26. I’m a mood reader but I mostly like to read Romance sometimes mixed with mystery and suspense but really have come to like most romance books, will try a book at least once to see if I like it

    Reply

  27. My fav is an extra spicy romantacy. Not sure what my problem is, but if there isn’t a spicy scene brewing in the first several chapters I’ll get bored of it, even when the story itself intrigues me. But I also want a decent story, not only spicy scenes. It’s kinda hard to find that right balance.

    Reply

  28. I don’t have a favorite trope I have favorite authors and I will read whatever they write regardless of genre. I will read anything you write because you know it is going to be fantastic

    Reply

  29. Well I’m that girl who is a mood reader. I love dark romance. But sometimes I need a palette cleanser and go with a smalltown romance or sports romance. Though im a big fan of small-town romance. I love paranormal romance as well. But I love a good story thats full of highly detailed naughty! The last couple years though ive found that I havent liked alot of books that have come out and dnf and that is something that has never happened to me and I just turned 45 yesterday!

    Reply

  30. Definitely a mood reader so anything from a cozy mystery to a thriller, from a rom-com to a dark romance and everything in between. I love a book with amazing twists I don’t see coming.

    Reply

    1. I read anything and everything, it just depends on what mood I’m in. I really love Romance- Enemies to Lovers and Romantic Suspense are my favorites. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🎄🎉🎄🎉🎄🎉🎄

      Reply

  33. As long as it’s romance, I don’t have a specific favorite. It all depends on my mood. I just want some good characters that stay with me long after I’ve moved on to other stories.

    Reply

  34. I read a heap.of romance . Sometimes dark , sometimes rom com , u popular opinion but I always enjoy the high school /collage and rh . I know alot of woman dont like that cause of the age but I just dont pitcher the age I see them as how I want to see them thats the joy of reading . I love a good audio and will prefer to read along with the audio playing . And I love series .

    Reply

    1. I would have to say I am a mood reader, but lately I am drawn to books with covers that draw me in. I’m mostly into mysteries and romance, but lately it has been a lot of dark romances and fairy tale retellings. I’ll pretty much read anything…..any genre……as long as it draws my attention

      Reply

  40. Usually there’s some sort of romance. I like rom coms, thrillers, and suspense. I really just need a plot that makes me want to keep turning the pages.

    Reply

  41. I am a big time dark romance reader. The darker the better. It doesn’t even have to have a HEA as long as it makes me cry. Anything that will keep me on the edge of my seat I love. I want to stare at the wall thinking wtf just happened.

    Reply

  42. I always thought of myself as a contemporary romance girl, but I happened upon Kristen Ashley’s Fantasy land series and I fell in LOVE!

    Reply

    1. I’ll read any kind of book. If there’s spicy stuff in it that’s ok but if a book can grab my attention from page one then that’s good.

      Reply

  45. Urban fantasy is my favorite, all those fantastical elements in a modern-ish city, magic, different races, monsters, maybe a hint of slow burn romance, with some humor and a great plot to carry the story and I’m sold, consider me invested.

    Reply

  46. Romantasy is my jam! My next fav romance genre is enemies to lovers, I love all the witty banter that normally comes with this genre 🙂 And for non-romance books, I LOVE LOVE LOVE a good psychological thriller.

    Reply

  47. I like anything romantic and dark! So dark romance and all it entails, paranormal romance, fantasy romance. Though I am not gonna be hooked unless there’s some trauma worthy action.

    My books come with trigger warnings, likely because my life has been an array of TWs too. At least in a book it’s a safe space.

    Reply

  48. My favorite books to read are enemies to lovers, grumpy x sunshine tropes. Something about going from hate to love just makes me giggle and kick my feet.

    Reply

  51. I used to think I was a romance girl 100% maybe a little dark at times, and then I found JA Huss and my genre is JA Huss 🤣🤣 Seriously haven’t found a book yet I didn’t like. Of course some more than others. Honestly just a good captivating story line, I’ll read fantasy, thriller, mystery, dark dark romance, if it’s a good story I am in. I always like a little romance and/or spice thrown in too for good measure.

    Reply

  52. I’m not super picky. I’m a voracious reader and go through four or five books a week. I have only had a few DNF-Zodiac Academy primary among them. I am usually reading a non-fiction, a regular fiction, and spicy book at the same time. Right now I am reading the Code of the West, re-reading the Disruption Trilogy, and reading (listening) to Brimstone.

    Reply

  54. I love to read dark romance
    Mafia motor cycle club even school bully turn lover
    Why choose is always my go to

    Reply

  55. I am getting to be more picky about books I read, tastes change and it’s not so easy to get me captivated by the story these days. I prefer darker, spicy stories with enemies to lovers and I love a good fantasy. That’s why you are my favorite author, your books have been captivating and enjoyable and you never disappoint with your story.

    Reply

  57. For me, it’s revenge/vengeance. Romance all the way ‘cuz I need that HEA, but I like when bad things happen to bad people. I love the anti-hero.

    Reply

  58. I like romance of all kinds and combinations. I especially like Dark Romance or Mystery Romance. Either way they have to be well written when timelines are screwy or there are lots of grammatical errors, I am turned off. Once I start a book I always try hard to finish but sometimes it is just impossible.

    Reply

  61. I lean more towards fantasy mainly because there is enough real in everyday life but can really read any genre as long as I can connect with a character.

    Reply

  62. Dark romance and MC romance happen to me my favorite books, although I do tend to read a little rom-com every now and then

    Reply

  63. I’m a mood reader and love most genres. I like most of mine to have some romance at least but I read some that don’t still. Some of my faves are dark, fantasy, pnr, romantsy, OV

    Reply

  66. I read a variety of books and it depends on my mood. If a story doesn’t keep my attention within the first few chapters then I move on to read something else.

    Reply

  67. Pitch black romance.. horror serial killer stalker romance..happy ending or not so happy. Just pitch black

    Reply

  68. I’ve been on a dark romance kick for a while. Lots of trigger warnings and not really uplifting at all. (Under Your Scars was brutal over the weekend). I’ll read a rom com as palate cleansers and I’ll put romantasy in between as well. The Sacred Trinity series is just right in the midst of all of those. Sparktopia was some of the best fantasy I’ve read this year!

    Reply

  69. I’m up for just about any genre, but my favorite books are one that make me laugh out loud or cry. If they make me do both that is the best. I mostly listen to audio books because my eye sight is not what it used to be to be and reading gives me headaches. So a good narrator makes all the difference for me.

    Reply

  72. I will read just about anything. But My go to usually needs some paranormal, magic fantasy. I went through Heavens Dark Soldiers by Steve Gilmore super fast. Doesn’t have to be “romance” so much as I need something going on in my books Other than their relationship.. I actually miss when “Dark” meant like blood and gore or horror in the story Not the relationship LOL.. Don’t get me wrong I like some red flag relationship books like Amelia Hutchins Legacy of the nine realms. But there is a awesome story mixed in to figure out. It’s more relationship comes close second to the story. I love those. I am 50 December 8th. I am bored of the whole mafia/billionaire been there most likely read it hundreds of times. Kind of can’t avoid the feeling of guessing everything that’s going to happen. So yeah gotta have my fantasy. At least I can use my imagination more. Gotta get out of my head it’s ugly in there. Menapause depression is the devil.
    And Huss books are not predictable LOVE them.

    Reply

  74. I am into mafia books and dark romance. I like the stalker, touch her and you die, the will burn the world for you and spicy books too. I also like reading different books.

    Reply

  75. I like to feel like I’m in the book. Character development and environment help with that. Also, a great voice helps with audio books. (Troy Duran and Eric Nolan’s voices do it for me so much) I do like sexy time balanced with drama and life. I truly love all of your books. Read them all, some multiple times.
    Also excited for these give away.

  77. I am definitely a mood reader Right now looking for MM holiday but not finding any that appeal. Don’t like a Daddy kink and will not read college age but I guess Ivam in my dark MM era. lol

    Reply

  78. Lately I have found my self reading Small town Cowboys and really enjoying them , I also read lots of Hockey books
    Thanks for a chance ❤️

    Reply

  86. It really depends on my mood. I will say that I gravitate toward romantasy, and I LOVE small town interconnected series. But dark, secret society type books full of crazy plot twists? The books that keep me up at night trying to solve the mystery? Nothing better!

    Reply

  87. For me anything non contemporary. I love books where you can escape (or be kidnapped) to a different world with different rules and simply exist and fall in love. Of course i would need some drama, danger and a whole lot of spice/kink sprinkled in. I live for the escapism.

    Reply

  88. Do you really have to have a favorite? I read a little of everything I love spicy, small town, mafia, cowboy, bikers, shifters isn’t that what loving books is about? Getting lost in the book and living different lives through those books. Every one I read becomes a part of me.

    Reply

    1. That is a hard question as I read so many different types of books. I do love reading subjects and or new spins that I have not read before. I suppose my favorite if I had to pick would be Paranormal Romance.

      Reply

  90. My favorite types of books are definately the dark romance ones. Its got to have a really good storyline though and i like the menage ones as well. Im hoping for a hea at the end but my one big issue is if the narration doesnt have good readers, i can not keep listening to it. I delete it completely. Julie has spoiled me totally because her narrators all have been spot on for me. One more pet peve for me too is if the characters description given in the book doesnt match the photo on the cover. I really love Julies cover photos and her narrators which is why i love her books so much better than most out there. You really do do an awesome job Julie Huss 🖤❤️🖤❤️

    Reply

  91. Genre doesn’t really matter if you have a good storyline. If I had my drathers I like sci-fi or future, but small town is a close second. I’m not much for Billionaires unless they are really interesting.

    Reply

  92. I want a happy ending, but love a plot twist. Alpha males, military hero’s, mystery. Plot twists is what makes me want to finish book!

    Reply

  93. I will read all kinds of books just depends on my mood really. I love all the tropes. But if the book doesn’t keep me interested then I will dnf it.

    Reply

  96. I’m a mood reader. I love dark romance. There’s nothing better than a man/woman that would burn the world down to get to you. I also enjoy goofy stories. Right now I’m reading the Dungeon Crawler Carl series by Matt Dinniman. It’s a blast. Romance is typically my go to genre, but give me an exciting sci-fi book and I’ll gobble it up too.

    Reply

  98. I honestly read anything and everything. I have never been drawn to just one genre, just reading in general.

    Reply

  99. I am not a picky reader at all; however with Zodiac academy; the way this series got me in the realm…..it was crazy. The books were so detailed that I could actually see what was happening in my head and had such a clear picture of the characters that I didn’t have to make one up. Now your books do this for me as well. I get so lost and immersed in them. Which is why you are one of my fav authors, and I am not just kissing your ass.

    Reply

  101. Unlike you unless it’s truly awful I will finish anything I start. Sometimes I speed read and or skip parts, but I’ll finish for the sake of finishing.
    My current go-to is MC clubs, or military/SEALs, etc. and as always anything JA Huss .

    Reply

  102. I don’t have a set trope that I read. I like intrigue, dark and steamy. Sometimes I want something that is fun and quick, other times something that is longer with a twisted plot and surprise ending. But all need romance and STEAM.

    Reply

  103. I am a mood reader dark romance, is a favourite, but I will read anything. If I don’t have a book within reach or my headphones on, something’s wrong.

    Reply

  104. I am definitely a dark romance girl! Give me unhinged characters and all the spice! I do also love a fluffy romance too.

    Reply

  105. I love anything..including biography and history, but the story, and writing has to hold me. I used to always finish a book once I started, but now if I can’t get into it by 1/3 of the way I will shut it down. I have too many on my Kindle to waste on a bad read.

    Reply

  106. My favourite kind of romance is really any I love enemy to lovers, forbidden, dark, steeped in secret society, military, spicy I will read it all 🤣

    Reply

  110. I like anything as long as it has a good storyline and plot twists. My top go to favorite genres are fantasy, thrillers and romantic suspense .

    Reply

  115. My favorite type of book is a Dark Paranormal Romance. I’m a particular mood reader. And very active ARC reader. So keeping me interested is a challenge. A dark paranormal romance usually keeps my interest.

    Reply

  116. Honestly, my favorite type of read changes throughout the year. I may be in to enemies to lovers one month and then move on to dark romance the next.

    Reply

  117. As long as the book is interesting, I’ll read it. Rom-com, friends to lovers, mystery, mm, mmf, shifters, mpreg.. YOU, got me hooked with the mister series and I just kept going, awesome plot!

    Reply

  119. It’s not the genre or trope for me it’s a story that can keep me from predicting what will happen. It has to be well written and the spice needs to add to the story not just be spice for the sake of spice. I love anything from fantasy, paranormal, mystery, action, morally gray to dark. It just has to be categorized as romance. I want to escape the world in my reading by choice. I rarely watch tv and am 95% an audiobook girl. My last requirement is the FMC cannot be a whiny, whimp of a woman. I want my FMC to be as kick ass as the MMC or I will DNF.

  124. I’m 100% audiobooks now so the important thing to me is the narrator. My favorite book is a mystery, a psychological thriller with strong characters. Add some spice for a plus. A bland narrator is death to any audiobook and I can always count on JA Huss to do it right

  165. I read a variety of genres – at the moment I am loving psychological thrillers that include a romance element.
    The dark twisted romance theme is also appealing . However, after an intense read I sprinkle my reading with lighter tropes.

  166. I’m a mood reader! Some days, I’m all about psychological thrillers, no spice needed, with a twist I don’t see coming. While some days, I love a great meet cute, Hallmark style. Most days, it’s the touch her or him and d!e. A badass FMC, and mafia is always a fun time!

    Reply

  168. First and foremost, a story has to be plausible. I read a ton of contemporary romance, and the major trope for a long time was second chance romance. BUT for me, a large part of the time, the reason the two characters split up was weak and made no sense to me. For instance, the guy leaves to pursue a musical career or a sports career so they break up. Why? Why did they need to break up? Nope. Doesn’t work for me. My jam right now is small town, single parent, romantic suspense reads. I’m also digging the “he falls first” because let’s face it, it’s usually always the woman. The other thing that drives me absolutely CRAZY is when the two characters are not together for whatever weak reason, and she stays celibate while he manwhores all over the place, but he’s secretly still in love with her. Nope, fuck that, it makes me ragey. Especially if they get back together and all those women he manwhored around with are still in the picture and throw it in the FMC’s face that they all slept with her man. Just no.

  173. Narrowing it down to one is hard. Enemies/Frienemies to Lovers I suppose is probably highest on my list. Dark or light… I will devour it. Honestly, I will read just about every trope. Maybe mine would better be described as ‘must have spice’. Rarely finish or enjoy clean or wholesome.

  179. I really like a dark, spicy dub-con tale in a fantasy world world where the FMC discovers her hidden power/talent. A good twisted plot with a definite villan or evil organization. There has to be a lot of friction initially, and after they (1 or more guys) are together, i do NOT want the guys to be gross sweet and fawning all over her. And I also love to watch her character develop. I want to read about somewhat introverted or submissive women.
    With weird, maybe scary dwellings.

    1. If you write it, I will read it! I also have other favorite authors who I will read anything they write as well. I’m always looking for new favorites. I’m an audiobook addict and listen to over 500 books a year (probably a whole lot more than that if I count the multiple times I listen to the same book). I think my favorites are contemporary romance and erotica. Specific tropes are not as important to me as a good story. I like it when the author gives the character a real personality. That can take a paragraph, a chapter or half the book depending on the author or story. As long as they have a good story, I am patient. I also enjoy a series where the most aweful guy in Book 1 becomes my favorite hero by book 4-8 (F@$king Ford). If you keep writing, I’ll keep reading!

  212. I am a very picky reader too. I am not picky about the tropes, I have read everything from fantasy, to sci-fi to even some historical fiction. I do have a lot of not Gunna finish this book piles even if it’s 3 books into a series. If the author loses my Intreat or it feels like the book is in a loop and it gets repetitive I’m on to something else. So I don’t really have a favorite type of I have to give an answer I’d say possible Fantasy/Fiction. 🤷

  219. I love your thoughts process for giving 5 stars on a book. For me, I do not have a preference really. Sometimes I want thr dark stuff, sometimes I want the light stuff. But in the end what I really want is the good story line to go with it. That’s the important part. I have only DNFd one book and it was kind if like a self help book and the lady basically said women are nothing, men are everything so stop complaining. I couldn’t read it. I will push myself through a book to finish. The more the struggle to get through, the less stars but I rarely do less than 3 because all the work that web into creating that book. But if I finished the book and enjoyed it it’s a 5 star. So most books for me are 5 star. Rarely are they anything else.

  220. Meh, the book has to keep my attention otherwise it might as well be a user manual in a foreign language. Preferably dark, spice, and the female character can not be wishy washy with her feelings. A good sarcastic humor with witty talk is a fun read.

  223. I love a good thriller, a book that keeps me on the edge. I don’t have a lot of time to read but I have a long commute so a good narration is a must. If it has a good story line but I don’t like the voices that are narrating I am out. Also, once I find an author I like I will go back and find every book by that author. I have been listening to mainly 3 authors since the pandemic and my go to is always J.A. Huss, and I am not just saying that because this is her blog.

A 7ft tall Faery man coming through a magic portal in a forest to take her away to a magical realm to be his eternal mate, I live for those romantasys and paranormal romances!! The mafia and dark romance filled to the brim with with extra spicy smut that would make most women blush, it’s what lines my book shelves and my TBR piles. I even love the historical romance and the Rom-Com, because I love a good laugh, and to read about traveling to the 1600s to be ravished by an Irishman.

  244. For me it just depends. I really enjoy a book that fucks with your head and makes you think about things in a new way. I love all of the psy-op stuff you put in your books.

  248. Hockey Romance that actually contains hockey games/play/scenes and not just a character who is a hockey player. (This goes for all books labeled sports ROMANCE. Hockey is just my favorite. MMA/fighting being a close second.)

    Mystery/suspense/military hero (or any other hero type romance…mountain rescue, cowboy etc) BUT not necessarily insta-love plot.

    Morally grey heros but not BDSM or SA/SH/controlling of actual women. More morally grey on how they handle the law/ dole out consequences/ do business.

    Fantasy that is well developed that also includes romance.

  336. Like most, it really depends on my mood. But, my go to is usually Romantic Suspense, Enemies to Lovers, Forced Proximity, Touch her & Die. But I love and will read anything from Rom-Com to the Darkest Taboos, as long as there is Romance and some suspense.

  339. It is easier for me to list genres that I don’t read— horror and sci-fi. I read everything else. I do give books until chapter 4 before I decide that it is a DNF. Cookbooks and travel books I will skip around, but I do read chocolate candy, cake, cookie cookbooks cover to cover.

  342. I like twisty, unpredictable, stuff. Sometimes romantasy, or dark, sometimes laugh out loud funny, or angst. I’m happy to read all sorts. And maybe I should be a little more like you and quit the dull books – I’m not good at not finishing a book. Or in my current case, I’m on book 3. Book one was ok, book 2 was tedious and repetitive, and book 3 has looked up a little, but it’s predictable- I can’t wait to finish it and be done. I’m over this series. But I have your latest book lined up next and then the next one is on pre order, so things are looking up.

    Mafia books are up there too
    I also enjoy Hockey books.

  358. The book where the words jump off the page, suck you in, you believe, you love/hate the characters as the author intended, where you find the unexpected, the plot is not obvious because there are layers, the pages keep turning long after your reading time should be over and you want more. More, more, more. The reading slows as the last few pages approach because you don’t want to finish and leave that world, that life.
    Oh, genre you say….um, can’t put a label, the books call and I read.
    Do enjoy other world, mcc, romance, the odd billionaire, spicy

  376. I like multiple genres of books; mafia, why choose, enemies to lovers, rom-Com, dark romance, and paranormal romance (shifters, Crossbreeds, and magic). As long as the book has good writing, I’m there for it. I do love spice, but some books have more spice than plot and that gets very old very fast. I need a book that will drag me into the pages and not let go. That’s why I love your books, they’re the perfect amount of spice with awesome storylines.

  396. I’m a fan of most genres, but my reading taste tends to run in cycles. I’ll be on SF for a few years, then on to spicy small-town romances for a couple of years, then on to fantasy. Right now, I’ve jumped full-force into Romantasy and can’t find my way out! I also lean toward dark, but not midnight-black dark; I guess sorta charcoal-grey dark? lol Like JA, I also have pretty specific and exacting reading tastes, regardless of genre. A good 3/4 of books I start are DNF. There just isn’t enough time to read something you don’t enjoy, right? Life is too short. <3

    Reply

  397. I go for books that have some romance, a huge problem to overcome, twists and turns, with HEAs. Usually considered dark romance. Drawn to age gap, mafia, and MC tropes. I’ll read any level of spice, but to be honest if the author can share the emotion I don’t need the spice written on the page. Sometimes I find I have to flip through pages of spice to continue with the story.

  398. I like a variety. Everything from cozy mysteries to dark and disturbed. (Same goes for my musical tastes.) lol I like single dad and sports (preferably hockey) romances. I particularly enjoy a good ‘broken’ man. There’s something sexy about men being vulnerable.

  488. I’ll read anything romance, but I love when it has an edge to it. The more damaged the main characters are, the better. If it’s a found family scenario–interconnected standalones in a series–even better. And I love nothing better than a really good zinger that makes me laugh out of nowhere in the middle of the night, so much so that if it wakes The One up and I have to read it to him to share the giggle, that’s the absolute best. A mystery to solve is like icing on the cake. And of course, it’s gotta be spicy!

  505. My tastes vary depending on my mood and mental health. I read everything from Thriller to sci-fi, to romance to very dark romance. I have only 2 triggers that I have identified as hard No’s for me, so that opens things up a lot.

    I usually finish a book/audiobook. When it comes to audiobooks, if the story is good, but the narrator is ruining it, changing the speed will usually get me through it. As for digital/paperbacks, I try to power through. There are very few truly terrible books that have been dnf’s for me. I can usually find something I like about it. Powering through a book that initially seemed bad has paid off more than once for me.

    That being said, I am happy to have read a book that I feel was at least 3.5/5. Anything 4 and up usually gets labeled as a “comfort” books and will be read over and over when I need the ‘feels” that it elicites.

Especially psychological thrillers and all types of romance. If it’s romance though there cannot be any cheating or I chuck it out the window. If I’m really into a book, invested in the story but not fully satisfied when it ends I will spend days, weeks even, continuing the story in my imagination until it feels satisfying to me.

A book that draws me in almost instantly and keeps me there until the end. I like the danger and heat and the forbidden. I do like other books as well, as long as they stay true to the blurb on the back. I do, however, feel guilty for not finishing a book, don’t really know why…

  535. This is a tricky question. Some may say I am a bad girl, whereas others may say I am a good girl for my taste in books. I love thrm dark and spicy, but I can get down with the sweet and slow. Lately I’ve really been into a good Romantasy, but Dark will always have my heart!

  536. Favorite book type is psychological but enjoy dark trillers, vampires. And romance/erotic if it adds to the story.

  542. I enjoy Why Choose Romance reads. I am really into the dark and deranged right now. I like the thought of someone able to give attention to the different part of you. I like how the characters reveal the parts of themselves. The story is so compelling and how to see the person be able to share that connection with their partners.

  544. This is very difficult to answer. By far, you are my favorite author.
    The Rook and Ronin series is what got me interested in reading again since grade school.
    I got hooked in that world, then The Company, Mr. Series, etc…
    I’d say rom-com with mystery included.

  546. hmm thats a hard one, i really am a sucker for the ones where people are lost on an island/no wifi wilderness or locked togheter. Or those secretly billionare or those over protective ones.

I’m a sucker for dark romance, mafia, super spicy but also comedy with great banter. I also really like good psychological thrillers … Ones that really have me thinking and have lots of twists

  554. Lately I’ve been on a rom-com streak. Work has been super stressful and it feels like the world is falling apart half the time, so I need something a bit lighter now to help me get through. I’ll still do dark romance or other genres if it’s a trusted author but most of them are staying in the TBR pile for now.

My escape world could be in space or in a parallel universe, past or present it doesn’t matter. I need to be sucked into that world. I need to live there for a day or two and maybe come back to visit once in a while. 🙂

  567. I love unpredictable books. The ones which lure you in in the beginning and all of the sudden you find yourself in the maze of WTFs in the most delicious ways. Not hectic or incoherent but twisty, surprising and unexpected. I also like to indulge in tales of deviant behaviour. Love to live through exciting and reckless stories. I am also an absolute “why choose” fan.

    Reply

  579. Ugg – I don’t have a favorite kind of book … I read a lot of different things, but what I do like is being agitated as I read. If I have to double back, all the better. If it’s a romantic comedy, I still want to be agitated. I want to feel the characters and I don’t want to be able to predict the story. I don’t need HEAs, marriage, babies … in fact, I wish more romance books were written with a sad ending or a cliffhanger with no sequel … character disappears, dies in a car accident or just chooses someone else after mindblowing sex would be different for a change. Aside from that, I like twists, kink, dark and dirty, captivity, virginity, multiple partners as long as it isn’t sappy, foreign accents, scenes with sex toys, true enemies/hate scenes where the character wants the other one gone or away because they truly grate each other’s nerves – in fact I love it when they play tricks on each other or do mean things to each other, embarrassment and major screw ups also peek my interest. If the build up of a book pushes the strong guy/protector/cop/Navy Seal/etc – then I better have some real edge of the cushion scenes where a person’s life is truly hanging by a thread if he/she doesn’t get there and do some serious damage. Too many books boast the muscle and then never deliver and it makes me want to throat punch the author for failing to stay focused! WTF – watch a few movies for some inspiration. Jealousy, cheating … not so much – it doesn’t appeal to me. And I despise rushed endings on a good story … First impressions only happen once so like Julie said – the first 2 chapters better hook me, but just as real is that if you rush the ending, it will be the last thing I have on my mind as I right my review.

  582. It is difficult to say what I like. My mood picks my stories. I follow some excellent authors because I know they will give me a story I can get lost in. I read a lot of dark or mystery so I’ll need something light to pull me out of that funk. Then I’ll read some romance until I need dark again.

My hero I prefer to be morally grey and I love a good not so innocent heroine that I can relate to on some level. Whether she’s pining for her boyfriend’s brother who is forbidden or her stepbrother that she just met or even her teacher or just the boy next door that has been her best friend since diapers. Or if the school bad boy has taken an interest in her we still have to have a good back story to draw me completely in.

A pet peeve though if the HEA is not extensive and not doing the whole book justice. Can’t stand all the angst and no revelling in their joy. Been burnt a few times with feeling impotent with an ending. Hate that.

There are two exceptions 1 The Mitford Series by Jan Karon……so good, small town,lovely characters, absolutely no spice or paranormal. 2 loved Harry Potter!! Yes it is paranormal and has magical beasts galore but also no spice at all!

Who wouldn’t want to be a part of the Vaughn family? The Filthy Junkyard series by Liza Street, New Carnegie Androids by Roxie McClaine and Spider Mates trilogy by Tiffany Roberts. There’s a common thread throughout all of them, family, found or otherwise. Found family is a huge draw for me, maybe because it felt like forever until I found my own. Knowing someone always has your back, takes you in or kicks you out for whichever you need and is there to lift you out of the darkest places is what draws me to a book. Everything else is just gravy.

Luckly, I have not had that problem with any of your book series.

  793. Why would you ask me to name my favorite child?! They all have their strengths but if you say some combination of small town, he falls first, grumpy/ sunshine (especially if she’s the grump!), dark romance, I’m here for it!

  794. I’ll pick from a wide range of books, just depends on my mood or what’s at the top of my recently acquired ebook library.

  796. I like spicy & romamtic novels as well as romantasy but on the flip side I’m also a sucker for thriller/murder mystery type novels.

  806. I read mostly Dark Romance. But I throw in the contemp romance, horror, short stories and Amish Romance occasionally for fun.

  810. It depends on my mood. I love dark twisted books but after listening to them I will move on to a romcom to lighten things up.

  812. I think I’m a mood reader for the most part. If I had to pick one for the rest of my reading days- True Crime.

  814. I am all over the place, I just love a good book that makes you want more. I love a good mystery, a romance, a feel good story.

  816. My very favorites are dark and twisty but I’ll really read anything almost. My biggest turnoff is bad narration. I’m dyslexic with ADD so I listen to audiobooks on 2.0 speed while multitasking or I don’t absorb what I read. Yearly I go through over 750 books but you will always be my favorite author (no smoke) you are my safest bet on a book to really enjoy.. I know my family are probably sick of hearing about you by now but I’m grateful for your writing!

  817. I am open to almost anything but not clean and sweet. I do have a soft spot for enemies to lovers and grumpy/sunshine

    Reply

  818. Enemies to Lovers is my favorite trope. I love when characters are fight the attraction and the sparks that occur when they finally give in.

  820. I am a SUCKER for protective/Touch Her and Die, Enemy-to-Lover books. I like extra dark and the spiciest of spice. Romantic comedy with extra spice is also a fav. Audiobooks are my favorite, and the narrators you use are the best. Teddy Hamilton is my all time favorite!!!!
    I will read literally ANYTHING you write. I can never get enough. You are by far my favorite author of all time.

  822. My favorite kind of book to read would probably be fake dating or enemies to lovers. The idea of finding love with someone you otherwise wouldn’t have given the time of day jist resonates with me.

  823. I love Dark Romance, Psych Thrillers and Mysteries. Combine all that together, it’s on Hell of a Book! I love Your Books!😊😊

  826. I have a habit of going back to relisten to my favorite books. My daughter got me hooked on a few different authors and series. They were exactly what I needed. The world building, the characters, the story. All the rest is a bonus. Then the narrators, wow, they brought the stories to life

    Reply

  828. I love a huge variety of genres. But I am most drawn to an adventure with romance. My favourites are most probably Romantasy, I grew up on Sci fi then Sci fantasy but I love contemporary too..

    Reply

  829. I read a little bit of everything. Right now I am on the reverse herem train, but will still read other books and even those recommended by others.

    Reply

  832. I love a good enemies to lovers romance. I also enjoy historical fiction that is largely based on the truth. I’ve been on a holocaust kick for a bit and I’ve learned a lot about that era of history.

    Reply

  834. I read pretty much anything, but if it’s fiction, I lean towards darker stories, whether it’s a mystery, thriller, or romance.

    Reply

  835. First, and foremost, I need it to be in the Romance category. I’m currently favoring ones that are dark, super spicy with possessive, over the top male leads!

    Reply

  836. I honestly can’t choose. I like so many different books, overall genres wise romance books, but specifically that’s a hard one. I love a good dark romance but I also like something light hearted and funny in the mix, banter between characters is the cherry on top of any book. Taboo romance and fantasy, there really isn’t much I don’t read. The book world is a beautiful place.

    Reply

  837. I love a good dark romace, super spicy, enemies to lovers, why choose. Friends to lovers… I have so many favourite types

    Reply

  838. I love reading anything that takes me to another world. However, my favorite stories are the ones with banter and the bad boy falling for the good girl romance.

    Reply

  839. Small town, middle of nowhere. Spicy but not extra spicy. I like a love triangle trying to work out who they will end up with. Better if they are friends so there’s the question of will there be betrayal.

    Reply

  843. I love all kinds of tropes. My favorites to read or that I read the most are Reverse harem and why choose contemporary romance, dark romance. I love a really good enemies to lovers. Second chances are also a love of mine. And I know its not widely popular but I love surprise pregnancy and hidden children stories too. I love reading so Im pretty open to anything and everything as long as there is major spice and smut.

    1. I am 100% a mood reader, but if im not hooked in the first 3 chapters, I’m gonna put it down. If I make it halfway through and I hate everybody, I’m gonna put it down. I love rom-coms, small town romance, cowboy, romantic suspense/thriller, speculative, horror, and lots of Manga and graphic novels.

      Reply

  855. I read/listen to all kinds books depending on my mood. I am heavily into dark romance and dark romantasy but they have to have a good original story. Give me a morally gray MC any day 🙂

  857. I read and listen to mostly dark romance and it’smy favorite. I will occasionally venture into some light hearted romance and romantasy.

    Reply

  858. What a question!! I want to read about love, passion, romance, and attraction and I’m not too picky about where I find it… I’m a sucker for forced proximity, one bed, and faking tropes… I love to laugh but lately I find myself gravitating to the dark side

    Reply

  860. I would say currently my favorite would be Dark Fantasy/ Dark Romance. I really can’t pick between the 2. It depends on my mood really.

    Reply

  863. I love small town romance, snowed in romance, friends to lovers, second chances, single parent, enemies to lovers, mystery books, cozy mystery, dating your neighbor.

    Reply

  865. I have to say I love different kinds for different moods. Some days I feel like a old fashioned romance. Other days I feel like reading a mystery.

    Reply

  870. I read for my feeling, sometimes its give me the down and dirty, sometimes its the sweet and fluffy and sometimes its intellectual.

    Reply

  873. I love small-town, mafia, dark, cowboys, sports, romantasy (all M/F or RH)…I’m currently obsessed with Omegaverse! Honestly, as long as it’s romance, I read it all! And the spicier the better!

    Reply

  877. I like the kinds of books that have a recurring character. I loved the alphabet series by Sue Grafton. Her character, Kinsey, was my favorite. 25 great books.

    Reply

  878. My go to genres are typically dark romance or romantasy. If it’s anything else it’s either because it was highly recommended to me or because I already love that particular author. I’m trying to be better about branching out, but my brain likes to torture my heart… so the more emotional the better.

    Reply

  880. I love me a good suspenseful thriller! But lately I’ve been changing up my reading choices and I’m starting to like small town romances!

    Reply

  884. Large print hardback. I know that is not what you expected but, as a stroke survivor, they’re hard to find. Kindle type books are not the answer because after a page or two, sometimes even less, the page start to “dance”.

    Reply

  885. My favorite would probably be dark PNR. Dark dark dark. But lately I’ve been enjoying some romcoms and enjoying the experience.

    Reply

  896. I am a total romance girly! Everything from the cute rom-coms to sports romance to the dark and taboo! But it has to have spice! Haha

Game of Gods

GODSLAYER

Spark is light.
Spark is power.
Spark is deadly.

 

Tyse never asked to play the Game of Gods, but Delta demands loyalty.

With Clara at his side, Tyse is thrust into a brutal world of augments—humans forged to serve and destroy. Each step forward pushes them closer to becoming something more—a force Clara can feel but doesn’t fully understand. A future that terrifies her as much as it draws her in.

Day by day, the man Clara pledged her loyalty to becomes more and more a stranger. But in the Game of Gods, survival demands sacrifice.

Clara has already done that once—she’s certain she can do it again.

Jasina and Finn left Tau City in ruins, vowing to end the Extractions by destroying every god’s tower. But the train line hides dark truths. Forgotten people cling to survival. Towers rise from the ruins of erased cities. And deep in the shadows, a godlike AI watches, weaving its own agenda.

Jasina has always been the strong one, the leader. But the train line holds secrets that cut deeper than she’s prepared for. Truths about spark. About the gods. About herself.

And Finn—the man burdened by his failures—is rising to find his strength.

But can Jasina ever fully trust him?

Godslayer is an epic, spicy, and angst-filled Romantasy that begs the question … how well do you really know your God? And how much are you willing to sacrifice to save him?
