How Slick Rock Began
Becca Van, an Australian author with a knack for spicy storytelling, kicked off the Slick Rock series in 2011 after ditching her 9-to-5 grind to chase her writing dreams. Inspired by her love for romance and a desire to explore unconventional relationships, she crafted a fictional Colorado town where polyamory thrives. Her first manuscript landed with Siren-BookStrand, and boom—Slick Rock was born, quickly growing into a fan-favorite series with its bold themes and cowboy flair.
Van’s vision was simple yet daring: create a close-knit community where love knows no bounds, set against the rugged beauty of the American West. Drawing from her own passion for escapism, she infused Slick Rock with suspense and sensuality, making it a standout in the erotic romance world.
The Heart of Slick Rock
The series kicks off with Slick Rock Cowboys, where Tara Rustle wakes up with the Morten brothers after a fire destroys her life—talk about a hot start! Then there’s Her Ex-Marines, following Rachel Lamb as she flees danger into the arms of three protective ex-soldiers. Double E Ranch brings Felicity Wagner to a ranch where love and peril await, while Loving Sanctuary sees Sabrina Monroe finding refuge with the Wendall brothers. Each book weaves a tale of passion and protection, with heroines who are as fierce as they are vulnerable.
At its core, Slick Rock is about more than steamy ménage moments (though there’s plenty of that!). Themes of trust, resilience, and belonging shine through as characters navigate love in a town that celebrates their unconventional bonds. The western setting adds a rugged charm, while Van’s knack for suspense—think abductions, stalkers, and rescues—keeps the stakes high. It’s a delicious mix of heart, heat, and heroism that defines the series’ style.
Van’s characters are the real stars: complex, flawed, and fiercely loyal. From ex-Marines to ranch hands, they leap off the page, drawing readers into a world where love conquers all—even the occasional villain. The fictional Slick Rock feels alive, a place where passion meets purpose in every dusty corner.
