He lost his friends, his family, his job, and his health, and can no longer find decent work. Our narrator isn’t Jonah Pastern, though, it’s ex-policeman Ben Spenser, who was left behind by his lover Jonah to face jail time and months of hard labor for “gross indecency.” Ben’s life was completely ruined after Jonah swept out of it one morning. And, as it turns out, Jonah wasn’t really a bad guy for what he did in the original trilogy. I’m not really a fan of “redeeming the bad guy” stories, but of course Charles pulls it off. I was surprised by this! The premise turned me off a little, which is why it took me so long to pick up. Her Noelle Adams books are softer contemporary romances.My favorite of the Magpie books. They feature smart, resilient women trying to survive in a new chaotic world and falling in love with strong, gruff, taciturn men. Her Claire Kent books are steamy post-apocalyptic romance set in the near future after a global catastrophe. She has lived in eight different states and currently resides in Virginia, where she teaches English, reads any book she can get her hands on, and offers tribute to a very spoiled cocker spaniel.

She resides in Virginia with her husband and their dog.Ĭlaire/Noelle handwrote her first romance novel in a spiral-bound notebook when she was twelve, and she hasn't stopped writing since. By day she works in education, and by night (and sometimes, by very early morning) she writes contemporary romances about smart, strong, modern heroines who face the world alongside true friends and complicated families. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Oprah Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, Bookpage, and more. Kate Clayborn is the critically acclaimed author of six novels. He lives in southeast England with his extensive collection of hats and three angry duckchildren. She lives in London, UK, with her husband, two kids, and a cat of absolute night.Īlexis Hall does not like writing biographies or talking about himself in the third person.
