Hi! I’m Kate O’Keeffe, and I write laugh-out-loud romantic comedies full of swoony kisses, awkward mishaps, and modern heroines finding love in all the wrong (and right) places.
If you love tropes like fake dating, enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, royal romance, small town romance, and second chances, you’re in the right place, my friend.
Whether you’re brand new to my books or just wondering what to read next, this page is for you!
What Kind of Romcom Reader Are You?
“I love modern fairytales with royals, castles, and scandalous kisses.”
Start with the Royally Kissed series:
✔️ The Backup Princess
✔️ Royally Matched
✔️ The Royal Runaway
✔️ Royally Off-Limits (coming soon!)
A swoony, sweet royal romcom series set in the fictional kingdom of Ledonia. Think The Princess Diaries with a grown-up twist and you’re there.
These titles are all dual point of view, the story told from both the girl and the guy’s point of view.
➡️ Start with The Backup Princess
“I love small-town charm, sisterhood, busybody neighbors, and sweet swoony moments.”
Start with the Sisters & Sweethearts series:
✔️ Faking it with the Grump
✔️ Faking it with My Best Friend
✔️ Faking it with the Guy Next Door
Three sisters from the small town of Hunter’s Creek discover that faking it only works… until your heart starts keeping score. Here, the Ladies Committee treats matchmaking like a competitive sport, and pretending not to fall for your best friend, fake boyfriend, or unexpected roommate is practically a town tradition. But as one Hollywood ex, one flannel-loving friend, and one coffee war will prove—love always finds a way to make things very real.
Each story stands alone, but you’ll want to binge the whole series for full sisterly chaos and swoon.
These titles are all dual point of view, the story told from both the girl and the guy’s point of view.
➡️ Start with Faking it with the Grump
“Give me London flatmates, fake relationships, friends and enemies to more, and emotional slow burns.”
Try the It’s Complicated series:
✔️ Never Fall for Your Backup Guy (best friend to lovers)
✔️ Never Fall for Your Enemy (enemies to lovers)
✔️ Never Fall for Your Fake Fiancé (fake fiancé)
✔️ Never Fall for Your One That Got Away (second chance romance)
All set in London with a connected friend group and each book a swoony standalone.
These titles are all single point of view, the story told from the girl’s point of view.
➡️ Start with Never Fall for Your Backup Guy
“I love reality TV, British aristocrats, and Pride & Prejudice with a totally modern twist.”
Start with the Love Manor series:
✔️ Dating Mr. Darcy
✔️ Marrying Mr. Darcy
✔️ Falling for Another Darcy
➕ Bonus novella: Falling for Mr. Bingley
When reality TV meets Pride and Prejudice, love gets a modern remix—with the cameras rolling. Follow American entrepreneur Emma Brady and her very real, very aristocratic Mr. Darcy—Sebastian Huntington-Ross—as they fumble through fake dates, awkward proposals, interfering exes, and one very judgy British granny. From skeptical first impressions to social media scandals to building a life beyond the spotlight, this series is part Jane Austen homage, part romcom joyride, and 100% swoon.
This is one story told over three full-length novels and one novella. Start at the beginning to enjoy every cringey camera moment and heart-melting kiss!
These titles are all single point of view, the story told from the girl’s point of view.
➡️ Start with Dating Mr. Darcy
“I want something as crazy as a dating pact, flirty chaos, and swoony guys who totally weren’t part of the plan. And set in New Zealand is a total plus!
Start with the Flirting with Forever series and the Friends and Forevers spin off series:
✔️ One Last First Date
✔️ Two Last First Dates
✔️ Three Last First Dates
✔️ Four Last First Dates
✔️ No More Bad Dates
✔️ No More Terrible Dates
✔️ No More Horrible Dates
A bunch of friends. One wild dating pact. And a promise to marry their next date—what could possibly go wrong? Welcome to the Last First Date pact, where fate’s in charge and happily ever afters come with a side of hilarity. Between workplace rivals, coffee shop crushes, construction site surprises, and Thor-lookalike heroes, these stories prove that love has a very unpredictable sense of humor.
Each book is a standalone, but the fun multiplies when you read them all.
These titles are all single point of view, the story told from the girl’s point of view.
