A look back at 2025

It was a great year! We continued the Haven Family saga with Luke and Melanie's story in Whispers and Wildfire and visited Tilikum during the holidays with Jensen and Natalie in Sleigh Bells and Snowstorms. Plus, the Haven Family debuted in bookstores all over North America!

Claire Kingsley liked Norma 's review of Sleigh Bells and Snowstorms: A Small-Town Christmas Romance: "What a fun sweet holiday book that had me on the edge of my seat from the very first page. Jensen has always been someone I’ve been curious about since we met him in the Dirty Martini Series… and now he’s finally met his match in Natalie. From the way " Read more of this review »

Claire Kingsley answered Joe's question: I am amazed that even though your stories are fated romance, each one is unique. I am curious how you avoid doing repeat storylines? I enjoy your writing. I have read all of the Baily Brothers, and I am partway through the Haven Brothers. I stumbled upon you when I read the Grump who saved Christmas. After that, I had to learn more about the Baily family. Thanks! I like to challenge myself with new ideas. I'd get bored if I wrote the same thing over and over, and I love brainstorming new stories. So it comes naturally to make each book unique. :)

Claire’s Quotes

“I’m struck by the fact that he doesn’t seem put off by what I read. I’m so used to people scoffing at me when they find out what kinds of books I love—as if reading romance means I’m not a serious reader, because it isn’t real literature. But I don’t get that vibe from him at all.”
― Claire Kingsley, Book Boyfriend

“So online, I’m Bookworm Babe, or BB for short. Despite what my sister says about romance novels (she views them with a high level of disdain), I’ve always loved them. There’s simply nothing that beats getting lost in another version of reality. The heady rush of passion when two would-be lovers meet, the swirl of emotions in a fledgling relationship—I’m addicted to that shit. I lose sleep over”
