You are invited! SUBSCRIPTION LAUNCH DAY! #contemporaryromance #reamstoriesauthor #romancereaders #romancesubscription

Will you join me for exclusives?

I now have a subscription site that I love! I'm still using BMAC for my store, but not for posting story pages.

Why Ream?

Because Patreon and Buy Me A Coffee limit the kind of content creators can post - and Ream does not. Emilia Rose lost her Patreon because they deemed her too NSFW for them, and so the idea for Ream was born.

Have you tried to read stories on Patreon and been frustrated by the format?

None of that here!

We want you to be able to read books like you want to read books. You can even comment on chapters as you browse them, because this is really about community.

Unlike other subscription platforms, this site is built for authors and readers by authors.

The second reason? None of the issues of social media!

I want a lively community outside the control of mysterious algorithms, and I can't be the only person frustrated by not seeing what I want to see (looking at you, Facebook). Ream will never hide stuff from you, so you can see all the Community area posts available to subscribers like you.

So - want to try things out?

My stories Kissed and The Bassist are free reads right now today!

Signing up for Ream is free! <-Click here to go to my page

Carla Krae Wattpad Updates

It'd been years since I'd last posted at Wattpad, but seeing some author discussions recently reminded me to return. So......

The new version of KISSED has been uploaded. I updated this title in December. 

The previous version from 2014 is still on Wattpad because I don't want to lose all the lovely comments readers made, but I encourage anyone new to start with the latest version.

KISSED (Jacob and Beth's Rockstar Life #1)

(2022 version!) 

Beth: 

Neighbors. Best friends. It was only a crush I harbored for Jacob until I was eighteen. Until London. It's funny what Geometry class and a shared backyard wall can bring about. With a two-year age difference, we were firmly in the Friend Zone during high school, but a pre-college trip to London will change our lives forever. 

Jacob: 

Neighbors. Best friends. That was all I thought of Beth until London. Until she kissed me and stole my heart. One kiss ignites chemistry and passion we can't ignore, but is this only a summer fling? 

KISSED is the first of five books exploring Beth and Jacob's relationship with all its joys, flaws, and heartache. 

Contemporary Romance saga. This story is intended for readers 18 and over due to adult language, sexual content, and adult situations.

Next is a short story:

Grad Night (The Bittersweet Duet Prelude)

Sam and Kate are best high-school friends crushing on each other but afraid to act on it. With high school ending, there’s one last night that might bring those feelings public.

Will they finally give in to that attraction?

This story is an exclusive sneak peek into a second-chance romance.

Last but not least:

The Bassist (West Coast Soulmates #1)

(I'm posting a chapter per day so far.)

What is an L.A. rockstar doing in Big Bear on Christmas Eve?

A sudden, strong blizzard has submerged the mountain in snow, keeping my family home. Resigned to spending my first Christmas as a widow alone, I’m startled by someone pounding on my cabin door—a handsome man carrying a guitar and needing shelter.

Dylan is sweet, funny, and the complete opposite of my former husband. As we get to know each other, he’s so damn hot I can’t resist learning what he has to offer.

Is this a single night of passion, or the beginning of lasting love?

This story is intended for readers over the age of 18 due to adult language, sexual content, and adult situations.

If you like these stories, throw a little something in my tip jar here!

Have you pre-ordered The Drummer, yet? #rockstarromance #contemporaryromance #romancereaders #romanceauthor

The Drummer is coming soon!

The Drummer (West Coast Soulmates #4)

Apple | Barnes and Noble | Kobo |



Lincoln and Michaela were introduced in A Rockstar Christmas Wedding.

Lincoln Adams was only supposed to be a drunken mistake, the consequence of a little too much Christmas wedding eggnog and loneliness.

Once he’s asleep, I sneak out of his apartment expecting to never see the drummer again.

Except I left my guitar at his friend’s house.

And my earring on his floor.

An earring he uses to leverage me into a lunch date where he starts chipping away at the armor erected around my heart with his too-insightful mind and gorgeous green eyes. His touch heats up my body with a need I’ve never felt before. I won’t do a relationship ever again, but a surprise mutual connection brings us together for a week of sharing and sensual delights.

Seven days of friends with benefits, then we go our separate ways.

What happens in Virginia can stay in Virginia—right?

This story is intended for readers 18 and over due to adult language, sexual content, and adult situations.

Buy Direct at BMAC Starting Now!

Our distributor shocked the author world yesterday! They're being acquired by another even though they've been profitable. If you've been around the corporate world at all, "acquired" brings up mental images. Cringing right now? 

Yeah. Us, too.

So! 

In the spirit of being prepared for this new merger to go tits up, all my books are now hosted on Buy Me A Coffee - no middle man!

Kissed | Betrayed | Forgiven | Loved | Completed

The Bassist | The Pianist | The Roommate | A Rockstar Christmas Wedding

Sets: Jacob and Beth's Rockstar Life | Our Christmas Love Story | West Coast Soulmates

Grad Night

BMAC doesn't allow decimal points for prices, so instead of $3.99, it's $4. 

But - if you sign up as a Member, you'll get $1 off every title over 99 cents! 

Spend $1/month to save $9, plus read The Drummer early. Cool deal, right?

Updates will come as I learn more.

Thank you to Willowick Publishing for being adaptable!
