About Lisa Marie

I'm Lisa, and I am the managing editor and a reviewer for Words We Love By. I happened upon Lucy's request for new reviewers for the blog and decided to give it a try. Lucy took a chance on me, and I loved it. When she needed someone to take over, I raised my hand — and she again took a chance on me.

I've been a reader for as long as I can remember. I discovered romance through Johanna Lindsey, and that opened the door to a world of stories I never wanted to leave. Now I get to share that passion by helping indie authors get their amazing stories into the hands of readers.

At Words We Love By, we're dedicated to true, honest reviews — no fluff, just genuine reactions to the books we read. I'm proud to lead a team that believes in promoting authors and showcasing wonderful words from all romance genres.

Beyond the reviews and cover reveals that fill the blog, Lisa's work is really about building a community around the love of romance fiction. She spends time getting to know the indie authors she features, learning what makes each story special, and finding the words that will help readers decide what to pick up next. Whether it's a swoony contemporary, a gritty romantic suspense, or a sweeping historical, the goal is always the same: to match the right book with the right reader. That sense of connection, between writer and reader, is what keeps her excited about the work even after years of reading and reviewing. Every new release feels like a fresh chance to discover something wonderful.

The blog has grown into a trusted place where readers can check in for new release announcements, sales alerts, and thoughtful recommendations across a wide range of romance subgenres. Lisa takes the reviewing process seriously, reading each book with an open mind and writing honest, heartfelt feedback that authors can genuinely learn from. She believes indie authors deserve the same attention and care as traditionally published writers, and she works hard to give every story its moment in the spotlight. For readers, that means a steady stream of quality suggestions they can count on. For authors, it means a warm, supportive space where their work is celebrated and shared with an engaged, loyal audience.
