Clare Gilmore is a romcom author based in North Carolina. She split her time in college studying Business (for the practicality) and English (for the romanticism of it all). When she's not writing, she's cooking excessively elaborate meals in a tiny kitchen, listening to a book on audio while she walks her dog, or planning more vacations than she'll ever be able to take.

Clare Gilmore recommends

Love and Other Brain Experiments (2026)
Hannah Brohm
"Love and Other Brain Experiments is the intellectually seductive, trope-perfect, lanyard-melting debut of the year. Brohm's twin loves for the romance genre and neuroscience sang on every page. I couldn't get enough of the gorgeous writing, delicious academia backdrop, and heartwarming main characters. Brohm peels off their hard shells with finesse and no small amount of tension. I was glued, start to finish."

Sunk in Love (2026)
Heather McBreen
"Sunk in Love will meet second chance romance readers at the trope's altar. From the fizzing tension that grows tauter with every turn of the page to the enchanting vacation backdrop that had me desperate for taste, I devoured every word. I can't articulate all there is to adore here, but nothing so much as Liam and Roslyn's painstakingly earned happily ever after. Everyone should be paying attention to Heather McBreen."

The Austen Affair (2025)
Madeline Bell
"Madeline Bell has resurrected Jane Austen in more ways than one in The Austen Affair, an absolutely delicious time-travel romp that combines regency-era set dressing with fresh, resilient, sexy protagonists. This book is a gem for anyone who never got over Darcy's hand clench or is dying to hear daresay in a sentence. With writing that moves deftly from contemporary to historical, characters that unfurl like pearls in an oyster, and *chef's kiss* Austen references, this romantic debut has got to be on your reading list!"
