Dahrose | 73 comments I'm not talking the best selling or the latest Tok sensation - I'm talking about an author you love and adore, yet no one else seems to have heard of them.

So time to sing your recommendation from the mountain. Or in this case, this feed.

You only get to choose one (and for the love of Thor - no self-promotions)

I'll go first.

Jane Cousins is beyond awesome. With several series under her belt I can't say enough good things. Funny. Best banter ever. Every h, you want to be her best friend. Every H your latest book boyfriend. You will laugh out loud. You will smile read. And you will need to provide your own fan - because Jane Cousins brings the heat.

Start with - To Woo A Warrior To Woo A Warrior (Southern Sanctuary, #1) by Jane Cousins first in her Southern Sanctuary series. 14 books so far.

Or

What's Up, Buttercup? What's Up, Buttercup? (Vexatious Valkyries, #1) by Jane Cousins from her Vexatious Valkyrie series. 2 books in this series so far.

Or maybe a romantasy is more your style - JC does it all.
The Beast of Gloomenthrall The Beast Of Gloomenthrall A snarky, hot and fun romantasy. by Jane Cousins

Okay - your turn. Who haven't I heard of?

KarenMac | 26 comments Could not agree more - Jane Cousins is so under-rated - I read someone who said she was like the Aussie Shelly Laurenston - so true.

I tell you who else doesn't get enough attention is Elliott James And his 5 book Pax Arcana series.

It's funny - there's a slow burn romance. Knights Templars (who are kind of assholes) Werewolves. Valkyries. Lots of mythic characters from several different cultures. Vampires.

And for something different the POV is the anti-hero

Start with book 1 - Charming Charming (Pax Arcana, #1) by Elliott James

Rye | 46 comments Under the radar and under appreciated - those are two fantastic authors mentioned above. Everyone should be talking about them.


Personally, don't know why more people aren't raving about the Immortal Empire series by Kate Locke

werewolves, goblins and suped-up aristocrats - all set in a steam punk Queen Victoria London.
Quirky, and with a simmer to inferno romance.

Trilogy - but start with God Save The Queen God Save the Queen (The Immortal Empire Book 1) by Kate Locke

꧁༺ L̴E̴X̴I̴E̴ ༻꧂ | 68 comments Just read Blood & Betrayals (Avalon University, #1) by Jeanette Rose . Highly recommend! It's got fae and vampires and a reverse grumpy x sunshine.

There's also Broken Moon (Kait Silver #1) by Laken Cane Oath Sworn (Jacky Leon, #1) by K.N. Banet Spiked (Sundance, #1) by C.P. Rider This Dark Wolf (Soul Bitten Shifter, #1) by Everly Frost

^ I can't see how these aren't popular. They have strong FMCs and a great storyline. They are mostly shifters and all of them are part of a series.

Book Chomper | 14 comments What a great list;

I'm going to recommend Rachel Bach's Paradox trilogy.

(The author writes heaps of other stuff under her other known alias - Rachel Aaron - but the Paradox series does not get enough attention)

This trilogy - has a kick ass heroine, sci-fi and a slow burn romance. For anyone missing the Firebird Chronicles, I think this would be a nice filler until next book is released.

Book 1 - Fortune's Pawn Fortune's Pawn (Paradox, #1) by Rachel Bach
