Biography

Carew was born in Toronto and was the youngest of five siblings. She majored in math in college, and then worked as a software developer, before resigning shortly after the birth of her second child in the early 1990s to focus on writing. After she began writing, she found that it was important to her to create erotic romance books that portray sex in a positive light. She wants women to feel good about enjoying sexual feelings.
Carew lives in Ontario, Canada and has two children.

Work

During the 1990s, Carew sold romantic short stories to magazines. Her first book was published in 2004, and her first large publishing deal was with St. Martin's Press in 2007. She mainly publishes erotic romance, but also writes erotica under the pseudonym Ruby Carew and sweet romance under the pseudonym Amber Carew. Carew writes around three books a year and enjoys writing about women who are "un-apologetically empowered by their sexuality." Kirkus Reviews writes that "Carew is known for adding a compelling emotional dimension to erotica." They wrote that her 2013 novel, Illicit, was "Not for the faint of heart." His to Possess is a story that not only focuses on an eventual threesome, but also has an interesting plot, according to Publishers Weekly. In Stepbrother, Mine, the plot deals with taboos relating to incest, but mostly focuses on romance. Carew's 2017 book, A Fare to Remember is an erotic fantasy that includes graphic sex scenes. Publishers Weekly found A Fare to Remember to be "an easy miss."
