Six For Sunday – Favourite books/ characters/ authors

Six For Sunday – the Valentine’s Day edition!

Six for Sunday (#SixForSunday) is a weekly meme hosted by Steph over at A Little But a Lot. The prompts for each week are up well in advance and they are a great way to share your love of all things book.

So this week on #SixForSunday it’s Valentine’s Day in the UK and we are sharing the love for all things book. Whilst this weeks prompts gives us several options, my favourite characters are always the ones I’m currently reading. Well as long as I’m enjoying the book they are! There is no way I could ever narrow a list of favourite books down to six, so that option is ruled out too. I may have written similar posts before, but it’s been a while since I’ve reflected on my favourite authors so I’m only to happy to do so again. Most of you won’t have heard of ANY of these authors, since they are all indie writers and generally self published, or released via very small publishing houses.

1 – Cari Silverwood

Over the years Cari has written a wide variety of books, from contemporary through to dark contemporary, contemporary with slight paranormal aspects, SFR set on Earth, dark monster SFR, SFR set on another planet and a couple of historical stories. The two aspects that link all her books are kink and a very dry and irreverent sense of humour.

2 – C.P. Mandara

Christina Mandara writes erotic romantic suspense with a side serving of humour. Her characters are crazily OTT but also hugely likeable and great fun. You have to be a fan of the cliff-hanger because Ms Mandara sure does like to torment us with them, however she also knows when to give us our HEA too.

3 – Pippa DaCosta/Ariana Nash

I’m not cheating, these are the two pen names of one author. As PDC she writes Urban Fantasy and Space Opera with a hint of romance. As AN we are treated to MM Dark Fantasy Romance. I’ve not read a single story, under either pen name, that I haven’t really enjoyed.

4 Kitty Thomas

I’m a huge fan of Dark Romance, and Kitty Thomas remains my favourite author in the genre. She doesn’t believe in redeeming her anti-heroes, but rather in the couple (or more) finding the path that makes them all happy. It’s rare that any of her characters will use the “L” word, so picking her on Valentine’s day seems almost sacrilegious. However love can be fleeting, whereas the bond she demonstrates exists between her main characters is a forever one.

5 EJ Frost

EJ Frost is a fairly new to me author, but I love her unique voice and her wonderful ability to let me understand her characters. She has a SFR, which is on my TBR and my kindle, but also writes beautiful BDSM/Erotic Romance.

6 KF Breene

KF Breene writes Urban Fantasy, and Fantasy, with plenty of steam, though the plot is always the driving focus, the romance is a pleasing side dish. Her characters are just so real, so human – even when they aren’t – with strong, sassy heroines that you can’t help but love.
