Lj Andrews

Hey there! I'm LJ Andrews, and I write spicy fantasy romance that blends magic, mischief, and complicated characters who probably need therapy (don't we all?). If you're looking for safe, predictable stories where everyone makes good choices... well, you might want to keep scrolling.

I've always been a dreamer with an overactive imagination and a slight obsession with "what if" scenarios. You know those moments when you're supposed to be doing something responsible, but instead you're daydreaming about magical heists and forbidden romance? That's basically my full-time job now, and I still can't believe I get to call this work.

Writing wasn't actually my first career path (shocking, I know). I spent years trying to be a "responsible adult" while these stories kept bubbling up in my head, demanding to be written. Finally, after one too many 3 AM writing sessions where I couldn't stop thinking about morally grey characters and magical chaos, I decided to take the plunge. Best. Decision. Ever.

My debut novel "Of Mischief and Mages" is what happens when you throw a cursed royal thief, a powerful mage with deadly magic, and a Las Vegas casino into a blender with a healthy dose of sexual tension and dangerous secrets. It's got all my favorite things: complex characters making questionable decisions, magic that comes with a price, and romance that burns slow but hot. (And yes, there might be a few scenes that'll make you need a cold shower. You're welcome.)

Here's the thing about my writing style – I love to play in that grey area between right and wrong. My characters aren't heroes or villains; they're messy, complicated people trying their best while sometimes making everything worse. Sound familiar? I think that's why readers connect with them so deeply. We've all had those moments where we know we should do the "right" thing, but the wrong thing just feels so much more interesting.

When I'm not writing (or procrastinating on writing by creating elaborate Pinterest boards for my characters), you can usually find me: - Binge-watching fantasy shows and taking notes for "research" - Drinking way too much coffee (is there such a thing?) - Playing with my rescue cat who thinks my keyboard is her personal bed - Reading romance novels and muttering "just one more chapter" at 2 AM

I believe the best stories are the ones that sweep you away completely – the kind where you look up from the page and have to remind yourself that magic isn't real (unfortunately) and you should probably eat something besides coffee and cookies. Those are the stories I try to create, worlds you can get lost in with characters who feel like friends... or enemies... or something deliciously in between.

What can you expect from my books? Steamy scenes that'll fog up your e-reader, magic systems that might give you trust issues, and relationships that develop in that sweet spot between "I want to kiss you" and "I might have to kill you." Also, probably some humor because I physically cannot help myself from adding sarcastic banter even in the most serious scenes.

I love connecting with readers, so you can find me on Instagram and TikTok where I post writing updates, behind-the-scenes peeks at my current projects, and occasional videos of my cat judging my life choices. Fair warning: I'm terrible at keeping secrets about upcoming books when readers get me excited, so maybe don't ask unless you want spoilers!

Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the internet. If you're into fantasy romance that's equal parts magical and messy, with characters who make bad decisions for good reasons (or good decisions for bad reasons), you're in the right place. Let's go on an adventure together – just remember to bring snacks and maybe a fire extinguisher. Things tend to get a little... explosive in my worlds.

Happy reading! LJ

P.S. Yes, all my characters are based on that one time I did something embarrassing and couldn't stop thinking about how it could have been worse if magic was involved. No, I won't tell you which scene. (Okay, maybe if you ask nicely and bring chocolate.)
