Synopsis: After too many failed relationships, she's over the fairy-tale – but working at NYC's biggest romance publisher, heart warming, means she can't escape it. When the company's bestselling author, Ruby Jones, threatens to leave due to dwindling sales (and a complete lack of inspiration), Lucy's boss takes drastic action.

Her new assignment? Go to a small lakeside town and find the spark for Ruby's next big love story.
Lucy expects picture-perfect charm, but the town – and its grumpy yet extremely attractive restaurant owner, Liam – have other ideas. He's sceptical of city folk, and she has zero interest in falling for a small-town cliché. But rom-com rule number one? Love finds you when you least expect it...

Miniature Review

How to Write a Rom-Com is a cosy, heart warming gem that blends small-town charm with a thoughtful journey of self-discovery. Centred on Lucy, she is sent to the idyllic Hudson Hollow, the story delivers a delightful balance of humour, emotion, and romance. The town itself is a vividly drawn and brimming with personality. Lucy’s personal growth feels authentic and relatable, as she navigates her career ambitions, wavering faith in love, and an unexpected connection with the guarded but endearing Liam. Their evolving relationship, paired with a cast of quirky yet sincere locals, makes for a sweet and satisfying read. Perfect for fans of gentle romances and stories about finding your place, How to Write a Rom-Com is a light yet meaningful escape you won’t want to leave.
