About
💕 Meet Kelsie Rae
What started as a fluke has turned into a full-blown passion. After having her first baby, Kelsie Rae was devouring at least a romance novel a week. One day, she had an idea for a story of her own and—without telling her husband or family—she wrote her first book in just over a month. That story, later published as Taking the Chance, was the beginning of an unexpected author journey that’s now captured the hearts of thousands of readers worldwide.
📖 Her Stories & Style
Kelsie’s books are filled with angst, banter, forbidden love, and unforgettable characters who feel so real they’ll stay with you long after “The End.” Whether it’s the hockey hotties of Lockwood Heights, obsessed mafia kings in Advantage Play, or her heart-fluttering moments in Signature Sweethearts, her stories always pack an emotional punch.
Her writing style? Banter. Emotional. Long-winded. And always brimming with chemistry.

💬 In Her Own Words
“I always try to have a reason behind the spice in my books. It’s not about shock value—it’s about connection. When my characters finally let their walls down, it’s about intimacy, trust, and love. If my readers close a book and can’t stop thinking about the characters long after, then I’ve done my job.”
💕 Kelsie the Woman
Beyond the books, Kelsie is a wife, mom, and animal lover (ask her kids how many dog breeds she can identify). At the end of the day, she defines success as having a family that wants to spend time with her once she closes the laptop and being able to leave every stranger feeling just a little lighter after meeting her.
