“The two-book series of Man Wars were such a fun read. There was laughter, tears and very satisfying endings. I’ll read Sue Wilder books anytime she writes one. Thanks, Sue for a great read🧡”
Amazon Review
The short version
I like my romance spicy, my wine red, and my jazz with a moody saxophone vibe. When I write romance, my favorite tropes include funny enemies-to-lovers, second chances, never-falling-in-love, and forbidden romance. I don’t always write what you expect – fair warning – there might be a twist or two. But always with a happy sweet ending.
I write in series but without cliffhangers. The connections come through created families, best girlfriends, and brothers by choice. My characters are strong, flawed men and independent women who love them.
I’ve always been a storyteller. I graduated with a Fine Arts degree that taught me how artists through the centuries used imagery to tell stories. Teaching art wasn’t for me, but I used what I learned. Writing is my happy place. So is reading, and my kindle is overloaded with books. Some of my favorite authors include Diana Gabaldon, Sarah J. Maas, Kate Quinn, Susanna Kearsley, Emily Henry, Lucy Score, Melanie Harper, Sylvia Day, Kristin Hannah, and Colleen Hoover – although my books have more spice, with the naughty parts left in.
My first six-book series was a fantasy romance called Enforcers Legacy, but I quickly realized I was more interested in the romance. I published Risk, the first book in the With Me series in 2020. Scandal and Reckless followed over the next several months. The newest series is The Man Wars. Dare Me is the first entry, with two more planned.
My goal as an author is to write romances that satisfy my readers with the connections we all want to believe in, a bit of heartache, a chance to savor all the feels, laughter, family, and finding where you belong.
My other goal is to keep my dog, Max, (she’s a girl, short for Maxine) from chewing on my chair when I’m trying to write.
“It’s not a real war. And you should already know this relationship fact. It’s more like a dance between a man and a woman, only you aren’t dancing. Call it sparring. And the sexual overtones can be… intense.”
“Intense.”
The Man Wars Series has sassy banter and the funny side of romance, but with an adventurous or dangerous twist. There are words that put money into the swear jar, sexy times, and a lot of warmth and heart.
Life always finds endings. Mine started in Paris. Actually, fourteen years before Paris, when I decided I’d be a famous chef one day, barefoot, slinging food around, with men at my feet. I made that dream come true. But at what cost? Gabriel Hunter was and is a heartthrob, a brilliant chef, and my mentor. …
Some revenge fantasies should stay fantasies. I know this since Oliver Bain is the bane of my life. The teenage crush I’ll never forgive. My best friend’s older brother – he deserves every humiliation I can heap on him… Except that he’s not the jerk I remember. He’s a gorgeous hunk of stomping anger. A …

“Intense.”
The Man Wars Series has sassy, funny banter and the funny side of romance, but with an adventurous or dangerous twist. There are words that put money into the swear jar, sexy times, and a lot of warmth and heart.
The concept is for stand-alone stories, connected through the titles and locations. “Risk… with me.” And next up is “Scandal… with me.” Coming soon will be “Reckless… with me.”
Okay, so maybe I’m the only one who gets excited about that. But it makes my title list endless. I’m using the Oregon coast as a common location for now, but I see that expanding to Washington and northern California.
Stories about alpha heroes and independent women and sizzling sensuality, and how the path to love is never easy. Books can be read in any order, although there will be reappearing characters with some. (Note: Scandal is stand-alone about Luna’s story, and Reckless follows with her twin, Soleil’s story, so reading Scandal first makes Reckless more enjoyable.)
A sexy, funny enemies-to-lovers romance with a twist. Because some risks are worth taking…

The story has several story lines that all tie into one. I fell in love with all the characters and love the happy ending!!!!!
Scandal… a deliciously twisted and explosively romantic fake relationship that turns into the unexpected…
amazon reviews
This book is so intense. The story is about betrayal, lies, secrets, manipulation, personal growth and yes, romance. It is a book I could not quit reading and just when you think you know what is going on, a twist appears. Well-written, great story and again, so intense. Highly recommend this book and this author.
I am a new fan of Sue Wilder. I’ve enjoyed this story with all its twists and turns. I hope she writes more on this series. I am surprised not too many readers wrote reviews on this one. It was hard for me to put this down, it was addictive! I highly recommend this book.
I received an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Sue Wilder is one of my new favorite authors, her characters are compelling and I fall right into each story. Scandal twists and turns from start to finish and it is a wild ride. You’re not sure what is going to happen and I read in one sitting as it was so fascinating. I highly recommend and look forward to her next book!
I would like to thank the author and publisher for my arc copy in exchange for my honest review. This was an amazing book that I could not put down. You found yourself falling in love with both the girl and the guy. This book made you laugh and cry. I loved the sexual tension between the two main characters. I would highly recommend this book.
PARANORMAL ROMANCE
by Sue Wilder
ENFORCER’S LEGACY SERIES
ENFORCER’S LEGACY SERIES
Thousands of years ago an ancient race discovered this planet and settled in, dividing the territories and manipulating the human populations. They were extremely long-lived. In fact, they believed they were immortal. Then an unexpected murder occurred, and in a rush for self-protection, something new was created: men who looked human but weren’t. They were shapeshifters, lethal and effective, with human emotions and immortal capabilities.
They were called warriors, and the most powerful were the enforcers.
The human populations thought them creatures of myth, and like most myths there was a tragic element. Some warriors fell in love with human girls and they became more human. They questioned, thought about right and wrong, began to challenge the six ruling immortals known as the Calata.
Conflict erupted, as conflict usually does, and as part of an Agreement to prevent war, these immortal warriors asked for their human lovers to be made immortal. Since the magic was beyond the abilities of the alchemists, reincarnation was offered as a solution. The natural process could be manipulated. Ancient magic would allow the lovers to reunite in each recurring human lifetime-now known in human populations as “past lives.”
It hasn’t worked out as expected.

YOU HAVE GOT TO READ THESE BOOKS!
This is a great series! As with all series, there are similarities within each book. However, each book is different enough that they kept my total interest. Now that I’ve read all 5 of them, I don’t know what to do with my reading. Nothing seems to satisfy me cuz I want more enforcers and Calata. This was a really great book for the ending of the series cuz it had a twist to it that was different. I’m totally in love with these characters, and if you like romance and paranormal that doesn’t include vampires, you’ll love this series too. I suggest that you read them in order.
A REALLY INTERESTING SERIES FOR SURE
This was a interesting series with a original story line, that I’ve never read before. (And i read a lot) I truly did enjoy each of the characters, for having so many, they each stood out vividly. A good series to pass the time for sure.
Sue Wilder writes contemporary and paranormal romances “worth the read.” ~Kirkus Reviews for “The Tears in Midnight.” She lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and a yellow lab puppy who chews on her chair. She has a bachelor’s degree in Fine Art, and is known to enjoy good wine while listening to old sappy jazz, and watching sunsets when the weather is warm.
My pergola, where I often sit with a glass of wine, my notebook and think about the next complication in the plot.
Risk – Sue Wilder – So I won the second book in the series, and I was pleased as punch that the first book was on Kindle Unlimited! I had no idea what to expect from this book. It took some slogging to get through the beginning because it felt a bit chaotic. But as the story unfolds, that initial chaos makes more and more sense. This one sucked me in with the force of a riptide, and blended the sweet with the sad so beautifully. I can’t wait for book two!! Happy Reading! L.L.

SCANDAL
scandal – Sue Wilder – I won a copy of this book from Goodreads, so I read the first book in the series first thinking it would be in the same character pool. It wasn’t, so you can totally read this as a standalone. But boy did this one try and sucker punch me in the tear ducts!! I was more prepared for emotional turmoil after reading the first book, but it still felt like a woah as everything slowly trickled to the surface. Thought I had this one figured out, but there is one wicked curve ball in there! Happy Reading! L. L.

KIRKUS REVIEW
THE TEARS IN MIDNIGHT
“…a solid romance. Indeed, the second-chance-at-love plotline alone makes the book worth a read, mainly for the author’s clear, emotional prose (“Arsen was tangling his fingers in her hair and she was breathing in, holding the warmth close, locking the scent of his skin deep in her lungs”).
A sturdy entry in a fantasy series about unbreakable bonds. ~ Kirkus Reviews
I love this kind of fantasy story. Written well so you think maybe this could be real, but you know it isn’t. Had me thinking about who is really in control of my life. I recommend this book to fantasy buffs.
Good characters. Good detail. Liked the setting. Very descriptive. Can’t wait to read the next installment. Very emotional. Liked that it wasn’t a cliff hanger.
This novel was phenomenal. I won a copy in a giveaway, and I couldn’t be happier. With realistic fun characters, a unique and interesting plot full of suspense, action, surprises, twists, and turns, and a vivid, fluid writing style, I felt like I was right there with the characters experiencing everything right along with them. This novel has all the makings of a perfect paranormal romance novel and is a must read!!!
AMAZON REVIEWS
I liked this story from the first page. By the second chapter I was hoping there was a book 2 because one wouldn’t be enough. I read for hours deep into the night two nights in a row. Such a deep love story that I felt it in my gut, and the love scenes were palpable. Moving on to book 2 now.
This book is very well done. The characters in writing were nearly perfect. The excitement and suspense we’re wonderful. I can’t think of anything bad to say about this book, except that I finished it!
Thoroughly enjoyed this book although I’ll admit at times it was difficult to follow. I will continue the story though.

Wilder posits an interesting correlation between the immortal enforcers and their human mates who are reborn with their memories buried deeply within their consciousness… the story is fast-paced, and her shifter-enforcers are grand fun to watch.

…not only a paranormal romance, but a gripping tale of past lives, looming threats, sinister happenings, manipulation, danger, regret, and increasing stakes. it is hard not to be drawn to the characters, and harder still to put the book down. FIVE STARS. ~ Readers’ Favorite
THE DANGER IN JUSTICE
Reviewed by Ray Simmons for Readers’ Favorite
Honestly, I loved everything about this book… the plot is complex and weaves throughout human history. The locations and setting can be exotic and are described very well. The writing is great and moves the plot along at a crisp pace. But it is the characters that really make this story great in my opinion. FIVE STARS ~ Readers’ Favorite
