A little about Elle Bee.
Love Belvin is an author of contemporary adult romance novels with nearly thirty titles published to date. She prides herself on penning heavily flawed characters, whom aren’t deemed ‘fairy tale-worthy’ or found in your typical romance novel.
She believes these characters are clients, who visit her fictional therapy practice in need of assistance to attain flourishing and sustainable love. She shares their journeys with the world through compelling and in-depth romance novels.
Her heart beats unfairly for an eight-pound Shih Tzu named Nyssa Marie, her first and last pet. She loves to travel anywhere tropical and/or where there is rich pop culture. Belvin believes behind every union between a man and a woman is a story, and she would love to highlight and examine the romance portion of it somehow.
Love is a native of the New York Tri-State Area and now lives in the Delaware Valley. She’s an avid reader and enjoys dinner parties with her closest girlfriends. While she enjoys many things, nothing excites her more than curling up with a glass of wine and a good romance novel.
Love Belvin has been dubbed the adult contemporary "series queen" over the years. Her debut into the literary community was with the Love’s Improbable Possibility series. This compelling series consists of four installments: Love Lost, Love UnExpected, Love UnCharted, and Love Redeemed.
She's also penned the Waiting to Breathe series. This project has two installments: Love Delayed and Love Delivered. Her first standalone, Love's Inconvenient Truth was released in the spring of 2015.
In October of 2015, Love Belvin became the recipient of four literary awards from Building Relationships Around Books book club. Those awards were for Breakout Author, Best Series (Love's Improbable Possibility), Best Couple (Azmir and Rayna), and Best Author 2015.
She next went on to publish a three-book series, Love Unaccounted. Between the fall of 2015 and spring of 2016, In Covenant with Ezra, In Love with Ezra, and Bonded with Ezra were released with great anticipation. The last two books of the series earned Amazon's best seller ribbons in the African American Erotica genre.
Love completed her fifth series, Wayward Love, early 2017. The first and final installments, The Left of Love and The Right of Love soared to number one on Amazon's best sellers lists in Women's Fiction and African American Romance.
Her Amazon best selling, sixth series is titled Love in Rhythm & Blues. Book one, The Rhythm of Blues was met with raving reviews in December 2017. The second installment, The Rhyme of Love, is now available.

During the summer of 2019, Love was awarded Indie Love's Best African American Romance Author Female, Best African American Collaboration Romance along with Christina C. Jones for the Connecticut Kings (CK) series, and Best African American Romance Novel for He Who Is a Friend.
Love completed the compelling and wildly talked about Sadik series. Books one, two, and three (He Who Is a Friend and He Who Is a Lover, and He Who Is a Protector) rose to number 1 on the Amazon African American Romance chart. The first installment brought home the number 1 bestselling ribbon for African American Women's Fiction. The second and third installments reached number 6 and 7 on the Amazon Contemporary Romance chart respectively.
In 2020, the Muted Hopelessness series was met with great success. The first two installments, My Muted Love and Our Muted Recklessness, shot to number one in the African American Women's Fiction category. The final book in the trilogy, Our Reckless Hope, was met with boisterous anticipation and rose to number 30 on the Amazon's best sellers list.
The 7th and 8th installments of the Connecticut Kings series were written in spring of 2021 by Love and Christina C. Jones respectively. Love's Encroachment and Offensive Formations both expanded CK the nation, adding two beautiful love stories to the brand.

About Love…
What about me? I don’t know…I’m random. I love people. I enjoy human dynamics, interaction. I could remember as a child, always up in an adult’s face, asking probing questions about their personal lives. I inquired about things that I had no business being concerned about as a kid. Funny thing is these adults talked back to me. They shared their lives and personal stories, fueling my penchant for conversation.
So, I love stories, particularly of the romance type. I enjoy studying how complex individuals come together and make a beautiful story. I love the chase in a romance. I love those moments that lead up to the first kiss, the first touch. I love sappy lines that are derived from deep desire and vulnerability. I love when people breakdown those protective walls and reveal their need to be loved and express it.
I love redemption stories. I love proving to people they are destined for good things. I love happy endings. I love debating happiness. I love analyzing people and relationships. I love stalking celebrities. I love pop culture. I told you I’m random!
I love vacationing, stealing away private moments with that special someone – experiencing those secret and significant moments which create timeless memories. I love the occasional calm with that special someone. I love the frequent chaos with that special someone to balance the calm.
I love challenging people to look beyond themselves for solutions, for truth. I love to laugh. I enjoy crying over cheeky romance dilemmas. I love to write about those cheeky romance dilemmas. I’m corny. I’m simple. I’m complex.
I am Love! Duh!
