When looking for books I came across the Contemporary Romance genre and was sold and I haven't turned back since.

Kelley McNeil

Kelley McNeil is an American author known for her book club fiction, which includes the chart-topping novels, "A Day Like This," and "Mayluna." Her writing is often inspired by the interconnected themes of intuition and the ongoing journey toward personal growth and happiness.

Originally a native of Pittsburgh, these days you'll often find Kelley in sunny South Florida, her current home, where she can be seen immersed in her notebook with her daughters and a menagerie of beloved animals nearby; or sitting with her laptop at a café

Monique Medved

Monique writes stories about following your gut and figuring life out along the way (spoiler: she's still figuring it out.)

She'd almost always rather have her nose in a book than do just about anything else. When she's not creating her own fictional worlds and characters, she's totally lost in someone else's.
And on those rare occasions when she's not reading or writing? She's either jumping out of perfectly good airplanes, exploring ocean depths, or nursing a massive coffee addiction while her dog Bobbi gives her judgmental looks from across the room.
