Isabel Jordan's Blog

It’s been a minute. There’s been some romantic chaos...

Apparently, it’s been a LONG time since I updated this blog. Long enough that “I have a few things to catch you up on” feels like a suspicious understatement.

There are new books. There’s a new website. There are book bundles available at huge discounts. And there are quite a few fictional people whose questionable decisions I should probably introduce you to.

But first, whether you’ve been here for years or just stumbled onto my books: hi! I’m Isabel Jordan.

I write paranormal romance and contemporary romantic comedy featuring strong heroines, sarcastic banter, men who are frequently outmatched, and people falling in love while insisting they are absolutely not doing that.

Expect heat, heart, entertaining absurdity, and happily-ever-afters. My characters may have to survive supernatural threats—or their own terrible judgment—to get there, but I’m not leaving you emotionally stranded at the end.

Choose your flavor of romantic chaos
If you’re new to my books, here’s a quick introduction to a few corners of the Isabel Jordan universe:

Harper Hall Investigations: Start with Semi-Charmed for psychic-and-paranormal-investigator chaos, supernatural trouble, and romance with a generous helping of snark.

You Complicate Me: Prefer your romantic complications without the supernatural variety? Start with You Complicate Me, followed by You Wrecked Meand You Ruined Me.

Sanity Falls: Start with Monster Match if your idea of a good time involves a little monster romance.

Adorable Psychos: For readers who find the phrase “adorable psychos” intriguing rather than concerning. You’re my people. Start with Criminals Need Love Too

I also have some has-been rockstars (The Has-Been and the Hot Mess), and Neighbors With Benefits. Not to mention the grumpy superheroes in Caped and Dangerous and Caped and Fabulous.

Some of you may know me from one series and have no idea the others exist. Consider this your official invitation to wander around. There’s more than one kind of trouble available.

There’s also a new place to find my books
My new online bookstore is here:

https://shop.izzyjo.com/

You can explore my books and find bundles that make it easy to settle in with more than one story: https://shop.izzyjo.com/collections/b...

Because sometimes you want to clear your schedule, ignore your responsibilities, and spend an unreasonable amount of time with fictional people.

I support that.

Anyhoo, thanks for being here. Whether you’ve read one of my books, binged a series, left a review, recommended a story to a friend, or quietly added something to your already-unmanageable TBR, thank you.

I’m happy you’re here, and I’m looking forward to sharing more snippets, book news, and fictional nonsense with you.

For now, feel free to poke around the new store and find your next read. The romantic chaos is waiting.

Lots of love,
Isabel

Strange title, I know. But I was watching a Marvel movie a few months ago (OK, 6 months ago), and asked my husband, what about the middle-aged superheroes? You know, the ones who are grumpy and bitter and would rather stay home and watch TV than save the day? When do they get representation? He told me I should write that story. So...I did. And now it's finally live! Caped and Dangerous is about a grumpy, 46-year-old female superhero and the sexy, younger man (or villain?) of her dreams. I hope you'll give it a read and that you'll enjoy it as much I loved writing it.

It's live right now, and available for free in Kindle Unlimited: https://amzn.to/3aBcW9n

Happy reading, and stay safe, y'all!

It took forever, but I finally did it, folks! That's right, I'm releasing You Wrecked Me into the wild on 5/24!! I have a preorder link to prove it and everything: https://amzn.to/2Vulk6r. And for any of you who are on the fence about reading it, I've put chapter one up on my website so that you can try before you buy: http://www.izzyjo.com/blog/i-actually...

Thanks so much to everyone who took a chance on a paranormal romance author's first attempt at contemporary rom com (You Complicate Me) and actually liked it--because without you, You Wrecked Me wouldn't have been possible. I love you all!!

Happy reading!

I finally have PROOF that I have not been slacking off and skipping writing to binge-watch Supernatural on Netflix. (I can do both, thank you very much) In other words, I have a new release and a shiny new pre-order to prove it! Here's the link for anyone who is interested: https://www.books2read.com/SemiObsess...

This is a novella in the Harper Hall Investigations series, so it's a nice, quick read. Hope you'll give it a try!

So, I did a thing. If you read Semi-Sane, you know that at the end of the book, I asked what you readers wanted to see next from me. The votes were tallied (I had my son tally the votes. He's much better at math than me) and the winner kind of surprised me. While Harper Hall got lots and lots of votes, the majority of readers mentioned being interested in a contemporary romance (no vampires or anything). Weird, right? I thought so. But hey, I'm here to make y'all happy, so I got to work and finished a contemporary romance/romantic comedy book I'd started years ago called You Complicate Me. And guess what? IT'S DONE!!! True story. I've got a pre-order link for it and everything: https://www.books2read.com/You-Compli.... But for fun, I also put the whole first chapter up for you to preview on my website: http://www.izzyjo.com/blog/something-.... Hope you'll check it out! Happy reading.

In honor of the release of Semi-Sane, Semi-Broken, book 4 in the Harper Hall Investigations series, is on sale for only 99 pennies. This is the first time it has ever been on sale--and honestly, this will probably be the last time, too. Why? It's my favorite book in the series. (Shhh...don't tell my other book babies that I have a favorite) For those of you who have Sei-Broken on your wish lists, I hope you'll pick it up while it's cheap! And remember that book 5 in the series, Semi-Sane, goes live tomorrow! (Sale goes from 11/16 - 11/18, 11am PST)

Hey, this one's for all you Facebook users.

Just started a new group on Facebook for all of my supporters out there (you all know who you are, and you know I adore you!). Here's the description for anyone who is interested:

"Fan group/discussion group for the world's slowest paranormal romance author, Isabel Jordan. We'll talk about books, boys, pop culture, food and anything else that strikes our fancy. We'll also cuss a lot. Enjoy!"

I'd love for some of my Goodreads friends to join! Here's the link:

It's finally live, y'all. Believe it or not, I actually have a new release. Thanks so much to all of you who have read and reviewed this series. Your support means the world to me!

Happy reading! (I hope)

Well, if you know me at all, you know that I'm technology challenged. And yesterday Goodreads thought they'd help me maintain my status by deleting Semi-Broken from their site. It's fixed now, but if any of you marked it as a "to read", it's gone now. If you're interested, you might want to go back and mark it again. Sorry for the inconvenience.
