Ruth Mitchell strongly believes the world needs more happy endings. She aims to write “hospital waiting room” books, stories that cheer and distract readers when their world is crumbling, make them laugh and sigh, and finish with a little more hope. All of her books are love stories with plenty of banter, and sizzling chemistry, but no spice. (Just kissing.)
Ruth and her husband live in San Diego, where their four mostly-grown children visit often. She loves long rambling conversations, baking (she makes the best pie), hiking, and running (slowly) along the coasts and canyons of Southern California.

Also, I spent so many years wanting to write and not having the time for it. Now that I'm devoted to writing full time, the stories ideas won't stop. My biggest problem is that there is not enough time to write all the books in my head.(less)

I really loved getting to return to Norland Park with Annie and Brandon! Romantic had a slightly different feel from Unromantic, with this one being a single dad + friends-to-lovers romance.

I really loved Annie! She was such a caring person, " Read more of this review »

"What a satisfying read. I stayed up so late finishing it. I absolutely loved it. Brandon is my 2nd favourite Austen man (Tilney is my #1) and Ruth Mitchell's Brandon hit every note of the original. He is the best. I loved his perspective, back story " Read more of this review »

""From a very young age, I knew that when I fell in love it would be...my own lightning bolt moment. Lately, though, I've been entertaining the possibility that love could sneak up on me."

I am on record as being very picky about my Austen adaptations." Read more of this review »

“the only way to undo racism is to consistently identify and describe it—and then dismantle it. The attempt to turn this usefully descriptive term into an almost unusable slur is, of course, designed to do the opposite: to freeze us into inaction.”
