Kimberly Lemming

Kimberly Lemming is a USA Today bestselling author who is on an eternal quest to avoid her calling as a main character. She can be found giving the slip to that new werewolf that just blew into town and refusing to make eye contact with a prince of a far-off land. Dodging aliens looking for Earth booty can really take up a girl's time. But when she’s not running from fate, she can be found writing diverse fantasy romance. Her newest book is "I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I'm Trapped in a Rom-Com."

Giggles and Swoons

We love a good romcom, especially when written by Ali Hazelwood, Kimberly Lemming and Penny Reid. These authors know how to go heavy on the rom AND the com when it comes to romantic comedies. We laugh, we cry, and enjoy all the time in between!

Unreal!
