Alex Lidell

Hey there! I'm Alex Lidell, and I write steamy reverse harem fantasy romance that'll probably make your grandmother blush. (Sorry, Nana!)

Let me tell you, my path to becoming an author was about as straightforward as my characters' love lives – which is to say, not at all. I grew up devouring fantasy books under my covers with a flashlight, dreaming of magic and adventure while trying not to get caught staying up way past bedtime. But like many writers, I first took the "responsible" route. I got my degree, worked a corporate job, and tried to pretend I wasn't secretly scribbling story ideas during meetings.

But those characters in my head? They wouldn't shut up. Especially Lera, my fierce stable girl from Power of Five, who literally walked into my mind one day and refused to leave until I told her story. (Characters can be so demanding, right?)

Here's the thing about my books – I write the kind of fantasy romance I always wanted to read but couldn't find. You know, the ones where the heroine doesn't have to choose between her sexy love interests because, hello, why pick just one? Where magic and danger tangle with steamy scenes that'll fog up your e-reader. Where consent and emotional connection are just as important as the physical attraction.

Power of Five started as my love letter to all the fantasy tropes I adore, but with my own twisted take. Orphaned stable girl? Check. Mysterious fae realm? You bet. Four incredibly hot immortal warriors who all fall for our heroine? Oh yeah. But I wanted to dig deeper than just "girl meets multiple hot guys." I wanted to explore power dynamics, chosen family, and the kind of love that breaks all the rules.

When I'm not writing (or procrastinating on writing by reorganizing my bookshelf for the hundredth time), you'll probably find me hiking with my dog, attempting to garden (emphasis on attempting), or adding to my ever-growing tea collection. Fun fact: I write most of my steamy scenes while drinking chamomile. The contrast amuses me.

My writing style? Think snarky banter meets emotional depth meets "oh my, is it hot in here?" I believe in building worlds you can get lost in, creating characters who feel like friends (or enemies you want to kiss), and never shying away from the darker sides of fantasy. My stories aren't always comfortable – they deal with power, choice, and the sometimes messy reality of loving multiple people. But I promise you'll get your happily ever after. Eventually. After some delicious tension and drama, of course.

To my readers: you guys are absolutely incredible. Your messages about staying up all night to finish Power of Five, your fan theories, your passionate debates about which warrior is the hottest (though let's be honest, they're all pretty damn fine) – you make this whole writing thing worth it. I love how this community has grown into this amazing, supportive space where we can all geek out about reverse harem romance together.

What can you expect from my books? Strong heroines who don't need saving (but appreciate a good backup team of hot immortal warriors). Complex relationships that go beyond just physical attraction. Magic that comes with a price. Steamy scenes that'll make you fan yourself. And always, always a found family theme because those are my absolute favorite.

Fair warning: I'm a big believer in slow burn romance. (I know, I know, sometimes it's torture – but the payoff is worth it, I promise!) I love building the tension, developing real connections, and making you wait for those moments that'll curl your toes. If you're looking for instant gratification, I might not be your girl. But if you enjoy the journey, the angst, the will-they-won't-they (spoiler: they will), then welcome to the family!

So grab your favorite tea (or wine, I don't judge), get comfy, and join me in a world where love knows no limits and magic makes anything possible. Just maybe don't read the steamy parts in public. Trust me on this one.

P.S. Yes, I do have a spreadsheet to keep track of who kissed whom and when. Writing reverse harem is complicated, okay?
