New-To-Me Authors I’ve Read In 2023 | Part 3

New-To-Me Authors I’ve Read In 2023 | Part 3

September 14, 2023 Posted by angelreads Discussions, Recommendations No Comments

 

One of the things that I love about reading is trying new-to-me authors and last year I read quite a few of those. I have already read a good chunk this year, and we have a few more months to go. But I didn’t want to just read new-to-me authors, but I wanted to share them with you as well. 

So I decided to start a series where I talk a little bit about the new-to-me authors I’ve been reading. You can check out part one and part two now. Reading authors that I haven’t read before is always daunting and exciting at the same time. I am so excited to try an author I haven’t read before. It’s always a risk, but so many times that risk pays off. 

So let’s get right into it. Here are more of the new-to-me authors I’ve been reading in 2023. Sometimes I find them through recommendations and sometimes they just pop up as suggestions. And as always these are in no particular order. 

Heather Renee: I had the chance to meet Heather earlier this year at BABE. And I knew I wanted to read a few of her books before the event. I ended up reading her Luna Marked series and enjoyed it quite a bit. I picked up a few of her books up from the event and cannot wait to dig in. 

Emily Rath: Emily has been all over TikTok the last few months, and earlier this year I picked up That One Night and Pucking Around and enjoyed them. I have since picked up the next book in the series and plan on reading some of her historical fiction. 

Angel Lawson and Samantha Rue: I’m including these two together because I’ve only read the books books they have written together. I really enjoyed their The Royals of Forsyth University series. I’ve read the first two completed series and plan to read the rest. They are dark, and sexy and sometimes just what I want. 

Devyn Sinclair: This is another author that I picked up for an event. This time it was for RARE Melbourne at the start of the year. I knew I was going to like this author right away, and then I met her in person and she was just as nice. I’ve now Knot Your Damn Omega and Knot All that Glitters and I plan to read more. 

Lana Ferguson: I read Lana’s first book The Nanny earlier this year. And while I didn’t love it. I still did enjoy it quite a bit. And I am so excited for her next book. It’s more my style and I think I am going to love it.

Sheridan Anne: Sheridan has been on my TBR for some time now and I was able to pick up some of her books at RARE and BABE. I read the first in her Kings of Denver series and plan to read more. I’m excited about her darker series too. 

K. Loraine and Meg Anne: I have had an up-and-down reading experience with these two authors. I’ve now read the whole of the The Mate Games series. And while I did enjoy it, I didn’t love it. I do plan on reading more from these two. I just don’t know when exactly. 

Odette Stone: Odette is another author who has been on my TBR for a while now. I finally picked Puck Me Secretly and had a fantastic time. I am really looking forward to reading the rest of this series for sure. And maybe some of her other books. 

And there we go. Those are some more of the new-to-me authors that I picked up so far in 2023. I had a good range of new-to-me authors that I picked up. I’m excited to read more from these authors and ready to read even more.

Have you read any of these authors? What did you think of them? Have you read any new-to-you authors this year? 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?
