New To Me Authors That I’m Loving in 2020

New To Me Authors That I’m Loving in 2020

July 15, 2020 Posted by angelreads Discussions, Recommendations 2 Comments

Today I thought I would share some of the new to me authors that I have been loving this year. Most of these authors have been around for some time. However, I have only picked up their books this year. And I thought I would share with you some of my favourites. 

I always like to try new authors. And when I find one that I just love – now that is the best feeling. And I’ve read a fair few new to me authors this year. Which has just been fantastic. Anyway, let’s get into it like always these are in no order. 

Paula Stokes: Girl Against The Universe has been on my TBR for some time now and I finally picked it up last month. And damn gosh I wish I picked it up sooner. I can’t wait to read more from Paula, there are a few of her other books that have been on my TBR for a while as well. So they are being bumped up on my list. 

Beverly Jenkins: I’ve only read one book from Beverly, but I already know that I am going to love her stuff. I’m hoping to get to a couple more of her books this month. But they all just sounds fantastic and exactly what I love. I am excited to read the rest of the Women Who Dare series after reading Rebel. 

T.J. Klune: Is a name that I had heard before this year, but I never picked any of his books up. Until this year. I haven’t kept this hidden but The House in the Cerulean Sea is my favourite book I’ve read so far this year. And if you haven’t picked it up please do. 

Tillie Cole: Is another author that I have heard about for a few years now, especially since I started reading more and more romance. And I finally picked her up this year and I’m really glad that I did. Her Hades Hangman series is dark and dangerous and I love it. You can check out my series review of all current books now. 

Giana Darling: I hadn’t heard about Giana Darling until this year and when I picked up her The Fallen Men series a couple of months ago, I didn’t know what I was getting into. This is such a fun series and I can’t wait until the next book. I have also just posted my series review so you can check that out too. 

Sarah MacLean: I’ve just recently read Sarah MacLean and let me tell you I can’t wait to read more. I read Wicked and the Wallflower and adored it. I’m so excited to read the rest of this series and more of her books! 

And those are some of the new to me authors that I’ve been loving so far in 2020! Have you read any of these authors? Are you planning too? Would you like to see another post like this? Let’s Chat!

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?

January was a really solid reading month. I read s January was a really solid reading month. I read some books that had been on my tbr for some time, reread a few things that peaked my interest. I also started a few new series. And just had a good time!
