A Valentine’s blind date.
With the wrong guy.
One kiss could give a 2nd chance at love.
Hey there, and welcome!
I’m Leanna Ellis, an award-winning author of romantic stories that are easy to share—with grandmothers, daughters, and the women friends in between.
These are sweet, swoony, closed-door romances with heartfelt emotion, small-town roots, and happy endings you can count on. From small towns to big adventures, my stories celebrate love, life, and all the chaos (the good kind) in between.
Stories meant to be passed down. ☕
Life has a way of throwing curveballs—but humor (and maybe a slice of pie or a wedding cupcake…especially chocolate 🍫) can make even the hardest days sweeter. Around here, community makes the tough moments softer, the happy ones brighter, and the laughter a whole lot louder. So cozy up!
New Release: The Love Note Series ✨
Welcome to Storybrook—where the coffee’s on and the pie’s in the oven.
The Write Love is the first book in my feel-good The Love Note Series—a small-town romantic comedy about second chances, old rivalries, and what happens when the past refuses to stay quiet.
Cassidy returns to her hometown of Storybrook, determined to help save her grandmother’s beloved bookshop—and to keep her heart out of the process. Ethan returns for a different reason: to push through stubborn writer’s block and rediscover his creative spark. They’ve clashed before. In high school, they were rivals. Now, thrown together once again, the tension between them feels all too familiar… and the attraction impossible to ignore.
Set in the close-knit town of Storybrook—where bookstores matter, neighbors know your name, and even a Blind Date with a Book event can change everything—The Love Note Series blends laugh-out-loud moments, heartfelt emotion, and slow-burn romance rooted in community, history, and hope.
These are sweet, closed-door romantic comedies filled with warmth, wit, and the reminder that love often arrives through the most unexpected words… written, shared, and saved.
So grab a cup of tea, settle in someplace cozy, and stay a while.
