edit data

Karen Booth is a Midwestern girl transplanted in the South, raised on 80s music and repeated readings of Forever by Judy Blume. She writes steamy contemporary romance and women's fiction. When she isn't creating fictional hunky men and the women who test them, she's listening to music with her kids, honing her Southern cooking skills or sweet-talking her astoundingly supportive husband into whipping up a batch of cocktails. ...more

The cover for Too Fast, Too Fake is coming in hot…

I’m so excited to reveal the cover for TOO FAST, TOO FAKE! I am OBSESSED with this cover. Seriously. When I got the first color draft from my editor, I think I stared at it for an hour. I just love the warm, welcoming vibes. It’s getting my psyched for PSL season (even though I’m really way more of a peppermint mocha girl).

The color palette fits this story perfectly because Olivia and Logan are tw

Quotes by Karen Booth (?)

“Lela’s love affair with nuptials was born at the age of eleven, when she watched two epic weddings on TV. In July of 1981, Lady Diana Spencer and Prince Charles of Wales were wed in London. Back home in Wisconsin, Lela watched every minute of it with her mom, perched on the edge of their brown pleather sectional. Then, in November, fictional couple Luke and Laura tied the knot on every teenage girl’s favorite soap opera, General Hospital. Actress Genie Francis wore a bizarre head-hugging veil and a dress that looked like a marshmallow. Her groom, Anthony Geary, rocked his deceptively fluffy ‘80s hair. Lela couldn’t help but be transfixed. It all felt larger than life. And her little eleven year-old heart gave into it lock, stock and barrel.”
