edit data

C. R. Riley doesn’t believe in rules when it comes to romance. Her books are bold, emotional, and unapologetically steamy, spanning tropes like enemies to lovers, grumpy/sunshine, secret pasts, and forbidden attraction. What ties them all together? Deep emotional connection, crackling sexual tension, and characters who love like it’s the only thing keeping them alive.

Writing across sub-genres, C. R. thrives in the chaos of big emotions, tough choices, and the kind of love that doesn’t come easy—but always feels earned. Her goal is simple: give readers stories they feel in their chest and remember long after the final page.

The Royals Series

I’ve been trying really hard this year to get my books the recognition I believe they deserve. This series is my newest, so that is where I’ve decided to really start with my promotions.

Suddenly Enthroned (The Royals Book 1) by C.R. Riley

The first book is SUDDENLY ENTHRONED, released December of last year. When I started writing this book I did so with the realization that my life was moving forward. My youngest was about to enter middle schoo Read more of this blog post »
