Sign up for Rachael's newsletter at rachaellucas.com, and find her on Facebook at facebook.com/rachaellucaswriter for behind the scenes news and updates.
Rachael lives by the seaside in the north west of England with her family and two very enthusiastic spaniels. When she's not writing at the kitchen table with a coffee by her side, she's out walking the dogs on the beach or the nearby pinewoods. She's a huge Kindle fan - her ten year old self would have been over the moon to be able to carry a whole library around in her pocket - and a lover of sweet, romantic, small town stories, which is exactly what she likes to write. She's a big Hallmark movie fan, wanted to be Anne of Green Gables when she was growing up, and Jo March was her literary heroine. (She still is.)
Rachael's books are full of warmth and gentle humour, as well as beautiful small town settings which give her readers an escape from everyday. Rachael has been described as having "a gift for capturing complex emotion and both romantic and platonic intimacy" and writing which "exudes positivity and warmth" which has received starred reviews in Publisher's Weekly. The British Guardian called her "honest, romantic and hilarious". Her teenage boys think she's a bit disorganised, and that she forgets to cook dinner when she's writing. (Luckily they don't get to leave a review.)

This collection of books by Rachael Lucas is a delightful read. The characters are well drawn and the storylines relaxed and easy to enjoy. There is very little drama or suspense. But the environment and playful writing makes up for that.

On vacation in your own home
Terrific stories with characters you want to be your neighbors and best friends. Good, clean romance! You feel like you are there with the landscape descriptions, the wording and the story. I can't wait to read more.

Amazing
These five love stories were beautifully written. I loved all the characters and could visualize the areas they spoke of by the descriptions written. I can't wait to read more.
