Why I love romance:
I read a lot books in my spare time and run a book club for fun. I've always loved escaping into stories, but like many, I didn't fall in love with romance lit until I was an adult. Growing up in a religion that taught me to suppress and hide parts of myself, it wasn't until I had grown up, and was living on my own, that the scales fell from my eyes. I finally felt free to be curious and quickly discovered, through the power of female friendship, that romance books would become a liberating safe space space for me with the most open and accepting community attached to it.
Romance books are designed to make you feel things, and boy do they! Further, romance encompasses so many sub-genres that almost anyone can find their little own little corner. Outlander by Diana Gabledon was the first romance book I read that really challenged my perception of what a romance book could be with it's captivating setting, complex characters, and creative sci-fi/fantasy elements. Little did I know there was a whole world about to open up to me and when I discovered erotica in The Sleeping Beauty Trilogy by A.N. Roquelaure , I realized just how many endless discoveries were ahead of me. Romance and Erotica act as a gateway to a world of possibilities, a safe space to learn, and an entertaining escape from our everyday lives. -M.K. <3
Face it, we all have a praise kink.
"Fantastic coming of age. MK Blackwood is rapidly becoming one of my favorite female narrators. She’s just so crystal clear and versatile. Adore her voice!" - audible review
"Her character voices have been consistent and I love how she takes each role and makes it her own, sounding believable and just as I picture the characters to sound. You could hear how much heart she puts into her work as she captures all the characters’ emotions and projects them into her performance, making you feel them all. This entertaining storyteller is a versatile voice artist and a pleasure to listen to." - audible review
"The narration was 5-star perfection. I usually prefer duet style narration, but in the hands of Jason Clarke and M.K. Blackwood, the dual narration did not detract at all from the listening experience. Jason's performance was fantastic . . . the way he breathed life into Scotty / Jamie was ALPHA perfection. M.K. Blackwood's performance was nuanced and beautiful in the way she captured all of Saoirse's facets and emotions. Bravo!" -audible review
" M.K. Blackwood aced her role as Saoirse, grasping every aspect of her personality, from her innocence/insecurities to her fierceness, and everything else in between...Both were nothing short of amazing when it came to performing the roles of the side characters as well They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ conflicts and emotions and had you feeling every single one." - audible review
