Elizabeth Rose | Author-Reader Match: LADYBIRD 

Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match" where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It's our great pleasure to present Elizabeth Rose!

Writes:

I am the author of 116 books and counting! I write several genres of romance, including medieval, paranormal, fantasy, western, and small town contemporary. I love to feature strong heroines who have a mind of their own, can do anything a man can do (and more) including wielding a sword. I also love writing alpha heroes who are a little rough around the edges and benefit from being paired up with a strong woman. Oh, and yeah, I like my heroes to have a tortured past. I love writing dialogue and throwing in nasty villains and lots of action and big plots. One last thing, I love writing big families and then writing next generation romances, telling you the stories of those characters’ children once they are grown as well.

About:

I live in the suburbs of Chicago although I’m not a city girl and really more of a country girl at heart. Some of my hobbies are tending to my herb garden, delving into anything paranormal, collecting crystals and healing gemstones, and writing books in my secret garden in the summertime from my writing hammock where nature is my inspiration. I love to learn what life was like back in medieval times and delve into lives of commoners a lot which isn’t normally seen in historical romances. In my latest book, Ladybird (Book 9, Below the Salt Series) my heroine is noble but also a falconer and my hero is a commoner and a thief-taker which is like an ancient day bounty hunter more or less.

What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match:

Readers who enjoy:

  • Strong and sassy female characters
  • Alpha heroes with a past
  • Dialogue and fast-paced stories
  • Deep emotions on many levels
  • Humor (I always have a sense of humor in my writings. Life is too short not to laugh.)
  • Big action plots (Nothing boring in my books)
  • Large families with stories that span to the next generation as well
  • Animal lover (I tend to put a lot of pets and actually also children into my stories)

What to expect if we’re compatible:

  • Fun stories you won’t want to put down
  • Crying (a happy cry) usually near the end of the story
  • Heroes to swoon after and heroines to root for
  • Lots more books, usually with characters connected to other series
  • A lot of rapid heart-beating excitement
  • True love
  • You’ll learn a lot about the lives of people and trades, mainly in medieval times
  • You’ll feel like part of the family before it is over

LADYBIRD by Elizabeth Rose

Below the Salt #9

They were never meant to be together, but cannot bear to be apart

The Thief-taker:

Thief-taker, Hunter Chase, wants nothing more than to rid himself of the demons in his head regarding his dark and difficult past. Now, as guardian of his unruly thirteen-year-old nephew, he finds his problems quickly mounting. He's never been a father and doesn't know how to keep the boy from going down the wrong path like he did. What he needs is a woman's guiding touch. Unfortunately, the type of women he meets through his line of work are anything but a good example.

Then, a mysterious woman arrives at his door one day, wanting to hire him to track down a thief that is thought to be inside the walls of Shrewsbury Castle. With ties to the castle, Hunter doesn't want the job. It will only remind him of his past. However, it is hard to say no when the woman at his door is beautiful, smart, and highly spirited. He quickly finds himself intrigued and attracted to her and also accepting the job.

The Falconer:

Lady Regina Blake's birds of prey have always been of the utmost importance in her life. She's pushed aside any thoughts of a noble marriage, not wanting to be naught but a mere convenience to assure an alliance that holds no love. Delving into her training with her birds of prey, she's thankfully managed to avoid a betrothal of any kind. But when a thief infiltrates the castle walls, her father and brother decide to bring in a common thief-taker to catch him.

Hunter Chase will be in disguise, and working with her in the mews. She hates the idea until she realizes Hunter isn't haughty and pompous like most noblemen. Instead, he is caring, handsome, and funny. This commoner can make her smile like no man ever could. Regina foolishly lets down her guard since he is no threat to her future. Or so she thinks, until she realizes she is quickly falling in love.

Will a common man with dark secrets find happiness with a woman who is master over birds of prey? And can a forbidden love overcome all obstacles and spread its wings in flight?

Love has no bounds but marriage has rules. A noble must never wed anyone from below the salt.
