The Making of Evie Claire
Evie Claire grew up in Athens, Georgia, where she graduated from the University of Georgia before diving into the high-pressure world of pharmaceutical sales. But in 2010, her heart called her to storytelling, and she traded corporate life for the creative chaos of writing. An avid equestrian and self-proclaimed coffee snob, Evie’s vibrant personality—think yoga pants loyalty and a talent for tying cherry stems with her tongue—infuses her work with a playful, authentic edge. By 2015, she signed with an agent, setting the stage for her rise in contemporary romance.
Evie Claire’s Unforgettable Stories
Evie’s novels are a masterclass in ‘real, hot romance,’ delivering strong heroines, brooding heroes, and happily-ever-afters that linger long after the last page.

Its sequel, Total Trainwreck (2016), dives deeper into their chaotic love story, cementing Evie’s knack for gritty narratives. The Let’s Talk About Sext series (2019–2020) shifts gears with flirty, fun vibes—think Phebe Stark’s spicy sexting escapades with bartender Brody Cantrell in Let’s Talk About Sext, or Lorie Braddock’s corporate-meets-carnal clash with Dr. Saam Sherazi in I Wanna Sext You Up. Evie’s style is unapologetically bold, blending raw emotion, sizzling tension, and zero damsels in distress.
