London, UK – 25 March 2025 – Award-winning author Luce Sutherland, celebrated for her sultry, emotionally charged erotic romances, is the spotlight of Reader’s House magazine’s latest issue. The publication, renowned for showcasing exceptional literary talent, has honoured Sutherland with an in-depth interview, a rave review of her work, and the prestigious Editor’s Choice Award of Literary Excellence.
The magazine praised Sutherland’s latest novel, Delicious Surrender, as a masterclass in passion and storytelling, lauding her ability to craft “compelling stories that enthral readers with unforgettable characters and sizzling, emotional depth.”
In the exclusive interview, Sutherland delves into the inspiration behind her grumpy-sunshine dynamic, her meticulous creative process, and the intoxicating blend of spice and soul that defines her work.
Highlights from the Interview:
On the dynamic between her characters Brynne and Gage:
“It has recently occurred to me that I created characters that mirror my own life! I have a grumpy alpha husband who can be ornery and opinionated, and I am the sunshine character who sees the bright side in everything. They say, write what you know, and I guess I did!”
On crafting tension in Delicious Surrender:
“I wanted to create an intense exchange that would grab the reader by the throat and not let go.”
On balancing spice and storytelling:
“Just like a cake, too much spice can ruin the recipe. Sprinkle it within the first three chapters and continue with careful moderation.”
Sutherland also teased future projects, including a return to Scotland in The Hellcat Club, and shared her dream casting for a potential adaptation of Delicious Surrender—Theo James as brooding alpha Gage and Emma Roberts, Jane Levy, or Holland Roden as fiery Brynne.
