Adora Crooks’ 4-Year Book Bonanza 🥳

I’m going to try not to get sappy…

Tomorrow (March 5th) marks four years since I published my first book, The Royal’s Pet!

It started randomly: I was binge-watching The Royals (Jasper and Eleanor forever!) and Meghan and Harry were about to get married. I got swept up in royal fever and had to write something!

Thus, The Royal’s Pet was born — my very first MMF Romance with a brooding bodyguard, a cocky prince, and their little American “kitten.” I had tons of fun with these characters, but I never expected the response from my readers…

The Royal’s Pet hit #1 in Bisexual Romance when it was released, and it’s still going strong at over 250+ reviews!

I had no idea I’d find my tribe of readers…and I’m so grateful to have found you!

As a token on my appreciation, I’m gift-wrapping The Royal’s Pet for you! It’s currently FREE for a limited time on Amazon.

Click here to download it for free!

But that’s all I’m celebrating today…

My newest book-baby, Doctor All Nighter, is finally born!

This is a steamy M/F romance for lovers of hot doctors and the bad boys of medicine.

Dr. Owen Harker is a playboy in the streets and a dominant in the sheets…but his soft heart melts when he meets Ash.

It has some of my favorite tropes, including…

Tattooed, kickass heroine
Creepy stalker ex
Golden retriever bf who goes feral when his gf is threatened

Alright, I think that’s all the celebrating I can do for right now…thanks for being YOU!

2022: Year of the Book 📚

I’ve got a good feeling about this year…

She says as she throws salt over her shoulder, knocks on wood, and makes a giant plate of black-eyed peas.

Okay, so I’m cautiously optimistic…but fingers crossed 2022 is a good one for us all! I did want to take a second to look back on my books in 2021…

What were your favorite Adora Crooks books in 2021? Your favorite cover? Your favorite couple (or throuple)?

Click here to cast your vote!

Finally, I want to give you a look into my 2022 release schedule…here’s what I have in the plans!

March 2022: Doctor All-Nighter. This is a standalone m/f romantic comedy featuring a playboy doctor and his annoyed neighbor next door…plus Donovan makes an appearance as the best friend April 2022: Protecting His Finch: I released this story in the “Killing Me Softly” anthology, and soon it will hit the shelves all on its own. It’s a m/f romantic suspense with a mafia princess and a bodyguard.May 2022: I plan to release a sequel to Protecting His Finch, only this one will be an MMF romantic suspense. It involves two military boys, a treasure hunt, and a tropical paradise.

Food for thought…

I also have a few stories banging around inside my head and I’m not sure WHEN they’ll be released, but here you go…

Untitled Dark Romance: This is a 3-book MMF series. Think: Sierra Simone’s Thornchapel. It involves a secret S&M club, billionaires, scandal, and so much manipulation.Paranormal Reverse Harem: This is WAY off the beaten-path for me, but I have an idea nagging at me. Vampires, werewolves, demons, oh my…obviously with some m/m and potentially f/f as well.What stories are you interested in? What are you looking forward to most?

I hope you have an excellent start to your 2022!

All I Want for Christmas is Them is Live!

It’s here! “All I Want for Christmas is Them” is live and ready for you to dive into it!

This book features Otto, the son from the previous “Truth or Dare” books. He’s all grown up and celebrating Christmas with his girlfriend Naomi and his best friend, Diego.

Plus, Jason, Donovan, and Kenzi have a moment or two of their own

Before you get started, here’s a couple things to know about this book…

It’s technically a standalone, but it contains -big- spoilers from the “Truth or Dare” series. If you haven’t read those books yet and don’t want to be spoiled, you might want to check them out first.This story deals a bit with grief, as one of the characters lost his mother prior to Christmas. If that’s a little too heavy for you, no stress! You can skip this one.While we’re on trigger warnings — in case you didn’t realize, this is an MMF (bisexual menage) romance! Which means there are m/m scenes as well as group MMF scenes. And lots of steam

And that’s it! This book was honestly so much fun to write. I’ll give you a sneak peek into the characters because I can’t wait for you to meet (and re-meet) them…

Otto is all grown up — no longer the shy little boy from the first books! He has a new lease on life and he’s a bold, brave, and proud bisexual man these days.

Naomi is his tattooed, devil-may-care girlfriend who works part time in a tattoo shop, part time in a coffee shop. They have a vibrant, explosive relationship built on trust.

Diego is Otto’s best friend since childhood. He’s a doctor and honestly the biggest sweetheart you’ll ever meet.

As for the parents (yes, they have their own POVs too), Kenzi is living out her childhood dreams owning a record shop, Jason is everyone’s favorite DILF and TV doctor, and Donovan is, as always, making life far harder for himself than it needs to be.

I can’t say much more without spoiling a few fun surprises…but I hope you pick this one up and enjoy it! It’s only $0.99 for now and it won’t be at that price for long, so snag it while you can.

Happy holidays!

Pre-Order Your MMF Holiday Romance 💕

I have one big announcement…

You’re now looking at a USA Today Bestselling author!

That’s right…Killing Me Softly hit the USAT Bestsellers List! I’m absolutely floored by the love everyone showed this anthology. I’m so grateful to readers like YOU who made this possible, so a big, big, BIG thank you to everyone who purchased, reviewed, and spread the word about this anthology.

Now I’ve got a title to live up to…time to release more books!

I’ve got a little “holiday treat” for you guys. I did NOT plan on writing this book…my idea was that I was just going to write a quick little holiday short with the characters from the “Truth or Dare” series.

And then I fell in love with the characters!

On Dec 14th, I’m releasing a special holiday MMF romance, All I Want for Christmas is Them. It takes place almost 20 years after the “Truth or Dare” series. Otto (yes, Kenzi’s sweet son!) is all grown up. He’s taking his girlfriend out for a special holiday concert, and his best friend, Diego, tags along.

When the weather gets cold, the three of them get toasty.

Donovan, Jason, and Kenzi make (big) appearances. It’s a standalone, so it can technically be read on its own, but this story is really meant for you guys — the true Truth or Dare Duet fans.

Spoiler alert: Jason is a total DILF

That’s all for now! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season!

Stay tuned, stay safe, and stay merry!

XOXO,

How Romance Books Saved My Life

Something you might not know about me — I currently live in what is (in my opinion) the best city in the world, New Orleans.

If you’ve been watching the news, you’ll know that New Orleans just got hit by a Cat 4 hurricane, Ida.

I wasn’t able to evacuate, so my wife and our two dogs were forced to hunker down for the storm. It was scary, and we had to set up at the bottom of our stairs with water, lamps, and supplies.

We were one of the lucky ones; we were unharmed and didn’t have any damage to our house. But while the storm was pounding, the wind roaring, and the panels of the house creaking like an old ship, I did what I do best; I escaped into a book.

I’ve been catching up on the classics, and I read “The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty”, an erotic novel by Anne Rice written under the pen name A. N. Roquelaure.

It’s a spicy book and I was a bundle of anxiety and not in that “mood”, but Anne Rice has a special ability to weave words together in a way that completely transports you to another world.

And that’s where I wanted to be. Somewhere else.

Books have always been my portal to escape. If ever I was uncomfortable or anxious or scared, my first means of defense has always been to pick up a book.

During Ida, I escaped into Anne Rice’s world. When I was in New York for 9/11, I sat under my father’s desk and read Lemony Snicket. As I navigated my awkward middle school years, I spent free periods devouring Brian Jacques’ entire Redwall series.

Books have, quite literally, saved my life in so many situations. When I write my own books, I hope that I can give the reader that same feeling of being transported to a different life, no matter what you’re going through.

If you’re an avid reader too, you can click here access my own books. Take a look, browse the digital shelves, and give yourself the freedom to step into someone else’s shoes.

Take care and stay safe!

XOXO,
Adora

My latest book features a single-mother, and single moms deserve some love!My biggest supporter of my romance writing career has been…my mother!

Truth or dare…?

I dare you to go on a date with a bully.

The Bully’s Dare is FREE for a limited time on Amazon!

“Truth or dare, Trouble?”

Jason King is the worst. Cocky. Arrogant. He thinks he’s the king of Hannsett Island. Until Kenzi arrives. She teams up with the quiet loner Donovan to take Jason down. But the chemistry between the three of them changes the rules of the game…and alters the rest of their lives…

Free on Amazon

Add to your GoodReads TBR

Plus, you can pre-order the sequel, The Doctor’s Truth.

That means you can get the complete series right now for only $0.99.

A little bit about The Bully’s Dare…it’s based on some real life experiences.

I spent summers on a boat in Long Island. As a NYC kid, my family was lucky enough to escape to Long Island every summer. We’d live on a sailboat and take sailing trips along the coast.

The laundry room Kenzi and Donovan smoke in, the pool they swim in, and the restaurant with a view of the marina — all real places.

Hannsett Island is fictional, but it’s loosely based on Block Island, a place we’d visit regularly.

I have a lot of great memories of playing on the beach, spending hours in the small corner bookstore, and taking our annual family pictures in front of the local ice cream shop.

I fell in love with Block Island, and I hope you get to fall in love with Hannsett Island in the same way

Happy reading, and have a good week!

XOXO,
Adora Crooks
