Sweet romances with humor & heart.

Hi

I'm Karen Thornell

I believe there is beauty in exploring the world through another's perspective, so I write love stories that make you laugh, swoon, and hopefully learn more about yourself and those around you.

"I absolutely adored this book! It was rom-com perfection! The banter, the humor, the romance, the chemistry all came together with perfect balance! I am so picky about rom-comes, but this book was absolutely everything I enjoy in a romance! The flirty banter was witty and timely and the characters had sparks flying from their first meeting!"
