Ashley Munoz
Dark Romance Author
Hey there! I'm Ashley Munoz, and I write the kind of dark romance that'll make your mama clutch her pearls (and probably judge your Kindle library). But let's be real - those are usually the best kinds of books, right?
I never set out to write stories about dangerous men and the women who bring them to their knees. Actually, I started my professional life thinking I'd take a much more... conventional path. But stories have always been my escape, my passion, my dirty little secret. I'd spend hours creating complex worlds and characters in my head while pretending to pay attention during business meetings (sorry, not sorry).
After years of playing it safe and doing what was "expected," I finally decided to listen to that persistent voice in my head that kept whispering "what if?" What if I wrote those stories down? What if I shared them with others? What if I stopped being afraid of what people would think about the darkness that lives in my imagination?
So here I am, crafting stories about morally gray characters who definitely won't be winning any citizenship awards anytime soon. My bikers, criminals, and anti-heroes live in that deliciously dangerous space between right and wrong. And my heroines? They're not damsels waiting to be saved - they're survivors who can hold their own in this gritty world I've created.
"Where We Started" was my first step into the world of motorcycle club romance, and holy hell, what a ride it's been! (See what I did there? 😉) The response from readers has blown me away. There's something incredibly powerful about exploring the complex dynamics of loyalty, family, and love within the dangerous world of MC culture. And let's be honest - who doesn't love a bad boy on a bike?
When I'm not writing about dangerous men and the women who tame them (or match their wildness), I'm probably binge-watching true crime documentaries (for research, obviously), drinking way too much coffee (is there such a thing?), or trying to convince my family that takeout counts as home cooking. They're not buying it, but I keep trying.
My writing style? It's raw, emotional, and sometimes uncomfortable - but always authentic. I believe the best stories are the ones that make you feel everything: the anger, the fear, the passion, and yes, even the pain. I don't shy away from the darker aspects of life and love, because that's where the most interesting stories live.
To my readers (both current and future), here's what you can expect from my books: - Complex characters who are perfectly imperfect - Steamy scenes that'll fog up your reading glasses - Plot twists that'll keep you up way past your bedtime - A healthy dose of danger and suspense - And always, ALWAYS a satisfying ending (even if we have to walk through fire to get there)
I write for readers who aren't afraid to explore the shadows, who understand that love isn't always pretty or perfect, but it's always worth fighting for. My characters might live in a world of violence and danger, but at their core, these stories are about finding connection, redemption, and love in the most unexpected places.
Fair warning: my books aren't for the faint of heart. If you're looking for sweet, clean romance where everyone follows the rules and makes good decisions... well, you might want to look elsewhere. But if you're ready for a wild ride with characters who blur the lines between good and bad, who fight dirty for what they want, and who love with their whole hearts (even if those hearts are a little damaged), then welcome to the family.
I'm beyond grateful for this amazing community of readers who've joined me on this journey. Your messages, reviews, and support mean the world to me. (Seriously, y'all make me cry happy tears on the regular.) I love connecting with readers on social media, so don't be shy - come say hi!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some dangerous men waiting to tell me their stories. And trust me, they're not the patient type...
