Ruthie Knox

Welcome to the online home of Ruthie Knox!

I am a USA Today best-selling author of witty, sexy romance novels for grownups. Two of my books have been selected as finalists for the Romance Writers of America’s RITA Award, which I can only hope means I’m doing something right.

If you like your heroines sassy, your heroes tortured, and your endings happy, you’re in the right place.

I hope you’ll wander around, make yourself comfortable, and even join in the conversation over on my blog, where I blather on about all things reading and writing romance.

I do book recommendations most Wednesdays and a giveaway almost every Friday. New participants are always welcome!
