hi! do you have any sierra simone reccs? I think you said you liked american queen but I wasn't sure if you'd read others?

I love this woman and I've read nearly everything she's written (sans the Thornchapel series and a couple others) and honestly? I would recommend most of it.

The Priest series: All of them brilliantly written, lovely, lyrical, etc. They all deal with some aspect of the forbidden (priest, nun, monk), and how the Bell siblings navigate this. You get the sense Sierra knows her theology as well as she knows how to write good sex on the page. Reading all of them made me genuinely contemplative (when I wasn't shook by the sex, or crying).

New Camelot series: Definitely a little weirder and a lot wilder. It's modern-day King Arthur/Guinevere/a character who's a mix of Mordred and Lancelot. Ash (Arthur) is the President of the United States and deffo an anti-hero so some of the decisions he takes are... unorthodox. There's a lot of twists and turns both external plot-wise and when it comes to their relationship so... consider yourself warned.

Short Stories (Far Hope Stories): All of these are set in England but centered around a secret, ancient place called Far Hope known for it's secret sex magic.

Chasing of Eleanor Vane: Eleanor is meant to marry the hero's nephew, runs for it, is hunted down by the hero Ajax Dartham (who is an uncle, but also a Daddy) and now they're in an isolated cabin while a storm rages on so oh noooo what will they doooo. No but seriously though, the way Sierra weaves such depth of emotion even into all of her short stories is magnificent.

The Last Crime of Peregrine Hind: A highwayman romance; Peregrine is hellbent upon *revenge* against the Dartham family but finds himself being unwittingly (well, wittingly, tbh) seduced by his captive Alexander Dartham, the brother of the man Peregrine is trying to kill.

The Conquering of Tate the Pious: The most iconic nun romance (sorry Tiffany Reisz) with a lady warlord. The nun, Tate, basically bargains away her body to The Wolf, in exchange for keeping Far Hope Abbey safe from the being plundered by The Wolf and her army. It's set during the Norman invasion which I personally loved.

Markham Hall series: Historical erotic romance centered on the relationship between Ivy Leavold and Julian Markham, her cousin's widower. I'd describe it as sexy gothic with a dash of murder mystery and a D/s relationship.

Misadventures With a Professor: Probably a comfort read at this point. Ft. English professor Oliver Markham Graeme (any relation to Julian⬆️? who knows) who has a huuuuuge professorial kink (and a looooot of shame about said kink for Reasons), and Zandy, who's an eager beaver-type training to become a librarian. They have a one-night stand without knowing who the other person is, and when they meet again, they realize Zandy's the person who's going to be his research assistant all summer and it goes from there.
