Some of the best moments as a romance author happen when readers share their unhinged, hilarious, or downright chaotic thoughts about my books. I’ve received texts about readers screaming at their pets during a plot twist, tweets confessing to sneaking snacks while crying over a love triangle, and emails demanding a sequel because they can’t live without my characters’ banter. These messages are chaotic, absurd, and absolutely wonderful.

From the chaotic elevator kiss in The Hating Game to spicy, slow-burn moments in indie romcoms like The Cheat Sheet and When Sparks Fly, these scenes re

January arrives like a sleepy friend in mismatched pajamas, but I have learned to love its quiet charm. Winter slows everything down in a way that feels strangely perfect for writing romance. I settle in with a blanket and something warm to drink, and the stillness helps me slip into deeper emotional scenes. I also give myself a softer routine. Shorter writing sessions and small wins feel much more natural this time of year. Even a few hundred words can spark momentum.

Music is a huge part of my winter writing routine. The right song can spark a kiss, shape a confession, or soften a moment between characters. I am sharing the playlists that inspire my cosiest, most romantic scenes, from soft snowfall moods to festive twinkly magic. If you have a winter song that lights up your heart, I would love to hear it.

Hi pals, it’s Eve here! In this post, I’m sharing some of my favourite Scottish romance authors who deserve more love, from cosy island stories to modern queer love in Edinburgh and beyond.

Love is the heartbeat behind every story I write. It’s messy, real, and full of hope. Through my characters, I explore connection, courage, and the beauty of being seen and chosen. I write for anyone who still believes love is worth the risk, no matter how many times the heart has been broken. Because love, imperfect and brave, will always be the reason I write.

This blog explores unforgettable real-life proposals and the magic behind them. As an author, I love imagining how my characters propose. Proposals are full of suspense, joy, and surprise. Real-life moments are often messy, spontaneous, and deeply personal, showing that love stories are alive in every unique way.

Love isn’t always grand gestures — sometimes it’s a quiet touch, a steady presence, or a simple “I’ve got this.” Each of my leading men speaks love in his own language — through service, words, touch, or time. Together, they remind me that love isn’t one-size-fits-all — it’s personal, powerful, and beautifully human.

"Pets don’t just fill space in romance novels—they reveal character, amplify emotion, and sometimes even play matchmaker. A wagging tail or muddy pawprint can leave just as big a mark on readers’ hearts as the love story itself."
