Cupid and Cupcakes
Emma Woods has zero interest in dating-- but matchmaking? That's a different story!
When she stumbles upon a singles event for the fifty-plus crowd, she hatches the perfect plan: find her overworked mom a love story worthy of a classic movie.
Armed with a fake profile, a questionable disguise, and a whole lot of determination, Emma is set on pulling off the perfect setup.
But between dodging security, battling her mom’s stubbornness, and dealing with one very grumpy (and annoyingly handsome) venue owner, things get… complicated.
Grant keeps showing up, ruining her plans—and making her heart race in ways she wasn’t prepared for.
Cupid & Cupcakes is a sweet rom-com filled with meddling, mistaken identities, and swoon-worthy moments, proving that sometimes love finds you when you least expect it.
No Plans To Fall
No Plans to Fall is a sweet small-town romantic comedy about finding love and purpose in unexpected places.
Marissa will do a lot for a free cookie, even go on a blind date.
Her date Scott smelled like cinnamon rolls and made her laugh. But even cookies have limited power. When Scott asked about a second date, Marissa knew it was time to bolt.
Marissa’s only relief is she lives hours away and can pretend this evening never happened—until she goes to work to find her job is under new management … suit wearing, cinnamon smelling, Scott management.
Scott’s future was carefully planned, and dating wasn’t included. At least not until he met Marissa. Her sunny smile made him question everything he thought he wanted, but there were some secrets that even the best cookie couldn’t fix.
Will these lost souls find love, or will all their plans get in the way?

Reviews for my upcoming debut novel No Plans to Fall!
From the moment I opened this book, I was absolutely hooked! Small town romances have always been a favorite of mine, and this one did not disappoint. What really stood out to me was how the storyline wasn't just propelled by events but by the rich, dynamic characters. Marissa and Scott were crafted with such depth—faults and all—and it was their personalities that truly shaped the narrative.
The side characters were equally engaging, each bringing their own unique flavor to the story. The pacing was spot on; nothing felt rushed, yet the story flowed effortlessly. Every chapter was a delightful journey, making it impossible for me to put the book down.
Overall, this was an exceptional read. I'll be recommending it to all my friends and it’s definitely going on my re-read list. To the author, bravo! I am eagerly looking forward to your future works. For a debut novel, this was a masterpiece
This is, without a doubt, the best sweet romance I’ve ever read (and I’ve read hundreds this year alone). I was expecting a light-hearted romcom - but this book was so much more. It was deep, inspiring, and meaningful. It was more than a romance - it was a story of healing - of finding yourself, loving yourself, and realizing your worth. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a wholesome sweet romance with a very happy ending.
Make sure you read the author note at the end - it brings another layer of meaning and depth.
I LOVED this debut novel by Kiri Patterson. This novel was so sweet and I adored the characters and their connection. Kiri built the perfect small town for this novel and it seriously made me want to jump in the pages and be immersed in all things fall.
This novel is like a warm blanket on a cold day and a hot coffee in hand. It was soo good! Highly recommend this to fans of fall, Gilmore Girls, and sweet and swoon romances!
