Courtney Hunt writes heartwarming love stories filled with swoony heroes, hopeful new beginnings, and small-town charm. A former attorney turned full-time romance author, she’s the USA Today bestselling author of Cupid’s Coffeeshop, Always a Bridesmaid, and the upcoming Cupid’s Sweet Shoppe series.

Courtney’s books are perfect for readers who believe in cozy evenings, second chances, and happily ever afters—with a side of cupcakes, of course. She’s passionate about crafting romantic escapes with humor, heart, and just enough real life to make you believe love really does conquer all.

When she’s not writing, you’ll find her curled up with a good novel, wrangling her two cats (Colby and Jack), or baking sourdough in her Virginia kitchen.

Sometimes writer's block is just a sign I need a break. So, I might go for a walk, listen to music, take a nap, or watch a favorite show.

Sometimes, writer's block means that I don't know where to go next. And that can be fixed by switching up my writing routine, such as writing longhand in a journal or taking my trusty MacBook to the nearest coffeeshop.

And sometimes, it's just because my cranky old internal editor got loose during the drafting phase and I think everything I'm writing is dreck and drivel. The only thing for that is to keep on typing until it's not awful any more. (less)

I think my all time favorite play is Hamlet because it's so rich--I get something new out of it every time I read it or see it performed.

I also always loved Midsummer Night's Dream (it's just too fun--and Puck is an amazing character) and Merchant of Venice. Love me some Portia!

I also liked the sonnets a lot--who are the Dark Lady and the Fair Youth? When The Pilot and I married, we had sonnet 116 read at our wedding ("Let me not to the marriage of true minds...")

FWIW, I do believe Shakespeare WAS Shakespeare--not Francis Bacon or whatever other trendy theory is being bandied about at the moment. Just my opinion ;-)(less)

“As far as I can see, the biggest decision you've got to make is which color lacy panties to let him peel of of you.”
Courtney Hunt, Cupid's Kiss

“Besides, you're going to need all your strength tonight. I have many wicked plans for you."
"Good." Mac smiled up at her, pressing a kiss to the back of her hand. "Think we'll make it as far as the bedroom this time?"
"I was thinking the kitchen counter, but I'm flexible...”
Courtney Hunt, Cupid's Kiss

“Well, well, what was that you were saying the other day about how you're not attracted to him?" Kennedy teased.
"I'm not." Val protested weakly and then shrugged. "He's nice looking, that's all. But..."
"But nothing. You should climb back on the horse that threw ya." Claire said.
"And I bet he'd give you quite a nice ride." Kennedy put in wickedly.”
Courtney Hunt, Cupid's Kiss

“Well, stop it or . . . Crap, is that Drunk Santa currently mooning passing traffic?”
“Wow, that’s some ugly ass he’s got there. It is Drunk Santa. Oh, please, do we have to stop? Think of the smell. Fear it.”
“We can’t leave that ugly ass hanging out on Ninth Avenue.” Resigned, Eve started to pull over, then spotted two hustling beat cops. Pitying them, she kept going.
“It’s a Christmas miracle,” Peabody said, reverently.”
J.D. Robb, Festive in Death

“Just shut your mouth, you ignorant twat."
"Aw, Dallas, he called me a twat. How come you get to be a bitch, but I only get to be a twat."
"It's the rank," Eve told her. "You'll make bitch one day."
"Thanks. That means a lot to me.”
J.D. Robb, Festive in Death

“He was my cream, and I was his coffee -
And when you poured us together, it was something.”
Josephine Baker

“My Dad says that being a Londoner has nothing to do with where you're born. He says that there are people who get off a jumbo jet at Heathrow, go through immigration waving any kind of passport, hop on the tube and by the time the train's pulled into Piccadilly Circus they've become a Londoner.”
Ben Aaronovitch, Moon Over Soho

“Do you think I don't worry about you?"
"That's not—"
"Not the same? Because you are a man and I am a woman?"
"No. Because it's one thing for me to make the choice to put my own life in danger and something else entirely when my actions endanger someone else."
She touched her fingers to his lips. "I knew what I was letting myself in for when I married you, Devlin."
He smiled against her hand. "I'm not sure I did.”
C.S. Harris, What Darkness Brings
