I read this author with her new sci fi series and man I LOVED her writing so much. I was drawn into the soap opera romance theme she put into play.

Milla Vane
Epic Fantasy Adult Romance is a rare commodity among the romance fiction genre, and Milla Vane rocks the house with it. It does have a bit darker edgy theme to it which I adore. Her books are so addicting and I can’t wait to see what she delivers in the future.
About Milla Vane
Milla Vane is an alternate name for author Meljean Brook.
Meljean was raised in the middle of the woods, and hid under her blankets at night with fairy tales, comic books, and romances. She left the forest and went on a misguided tour through the world of accounting before focusing on her first loves, reading and writing-and she realized that monsters, superheroes, and happily-ever-afters are easily found between the covers, as well as under them, so she set out to make her own.
Meljean lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband and daughter.
Melissa Foster

Brittainy Cherry
I didn’t know hardly anything about this author until I saw “Southern Storms” on Amazon and quite frankly I just grabbed it up due to the cover and it was FANTASTIC!! Definitely want to read more of her work this upcoming year. I loved how genuine of a feel her writing felt to me.

Meagan McKinney
This is an author I have had on my TBR for the longest time, like years! And so a buddy reader and I got our butts in gear and picked up TWO of her books and I LOVED them. If you love a great angst in a romance, this is a historical author you need in your life.
Jessica Scott
This author is known for her talent in writing military romance and as I have a weakness for this sub genre, I finally grabbed her up in a novella this past week and man it was so GOOD….emotionally raw and beautiful. I can’t wait to pick more of her work soon.
