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 LJ Andrews!
Writes:
LJ Andrews writes gritty, wickedly romantic fantasy romance books. You’ll find misty, immersive worlds where it’s hard to know who to trust, found families who’ll bury the body for you, and morally gray men who know when to stand back and let their love lead or burn the world for her. You deserve to escape reality, and as they like to say on team LJ: Everyone deserves to get railed by fae. Enjoy.
About:
USA-Today Bestselling fantasy romance author, LJ Andrews, loves writing relatable, vulnerable, and fierce characters. Miscommunications are never as prevalent as banter and unbreakable love. You’ll find heroines who know how to fight, laugh, and own their mistakes. Heroes (or villains, however we want to look at these guys) who know how to lift their lovers up and hand them the sword, but also love to show the world what happens if they get hurt. LJ also finds immense pleasure in raising four kids, kissing her husband, reading instead of vacuuming, and trying to corral her small zoo of animals.
My ideal reader for my latest book, BROKEN SOULS AND BONES, would be a reader who loves:
- True enemies to lovers with a heap of forced proximity
- A deliciously grumpy and possessive MMC who doesn’t speak verbally, but gets his point across very, very well.
- A heroine who’s an introvert, but touch her friends and she’s going to let you have it.
- The sort of found family who will overindulge on chocolate with you or bring the getaway car.
- A dark and immersive Viking world with lore and magic that causes more chaos than good.
- A villain no one expects
- Toe-curling tension and spice
- A plot twist (or three) you won’t see coming
If this sounds like a good fit I encourage you to do a deep dive into all my other fae worlds where you’ll find fae Vikings, pirates, shadow daddies, and all the friendships you can handle. Then, you’ll want to find me in my LJ’s Wicked Darlings Facebook group where all the real fun happens.

Together they’ll restore a divided kingdom—or burn it down—in this new romantasy from USA Today bestselling author and TikTok sensation LJ Andrews.
Lyra Bien intended to live a quiet life to avoid the attention of the magic-obsessed king in the fortress of Stonegate. Until Roark Ashwood—the prince’s silent guard and rumored killer for the crown—invades her village and uncovers the truth behind the silver scars in her eyes. To save her best friend from death, she’s forced to reveal her abilities, and is immediately claimed by the crown as the next melder.
To be the King’s melder is to be revered and feared in equal measures, but above all it is a slow death sentence. Lyra is determined to find a way to free herself and her friends from bondage. But first she must get more information from the silent, brooding sentry who first took her captive: Roark.
As Lyra gets closer to Roark, she soon learns he’s nothing like she assumed—and in fact everything she needs. The more they work as allies, the harder it becomes to ignore the growing passion between them. After a sinister truth is revealed, Roark and Lyra must choose to stand against all they know, or accept their dark destiny.
