Five World building Wizard Romance Authors to Read in 2015 by Author Julie Rowe

Five World building Wizard Romance Authors to Read in 2015 – in no particular order because they’re all awesome!

Nalini Singh – author of the psy/changling and Archangel series.

Nalini is a mistress at building worlds I want to live in and creating characters I fall in love with every time. She is also fantastic at creating insurmountable conflicts for her characters that require immense sacrifice and growth to overcome. Oh, and her love scenes are HOT!

Thea Harrison – author of the Elder Races series.

Thea’s brand of witty humor makes me laugh while her alpha heroes make me look for air-conditioning (in Canada, in the winter!). She’s an expert in surprising her readers with unexpected twists and turns, and steamy love scenes.

Patricia Briggs – author of the Mercy Thompson and Alpha & Omega series.

Patricia writes a unique brand of fantasy romance that has me under its spell. She combines the modern world with werewolves, vampires and native magic in a realistic way that makes me a believer. I can’t get enough of her damaged characters who manage to save the day despite almost insurmountable odds. Her dry wit and offbeat sense of humor keeps me glued to the pages of her books.

Mercedes Lackey – author of the Valdemar series.

Mercedes is generally considered a fantasy author, but her books often have a romance subplot as well. I’ve been reading her Valdemar series for years and can’t get enough of a world populated by semi-mystical horses who are human smart and have the last say in who is good and who is evil.

Gail Carriger – author of the Alexia Tarabotti series.

The first book in Gail’s Alexia Tarabotti series, Soulless, was the most original story I’d read with shifters and vampires in years. Oh, and I shouldn’t forget to mention the parasols. Parasols are very important. Almost as important as having a soul.
