Sarah Adams

Sarah Adams is a contemporary romance author known for humorous, slow-burn love stories, including The Cheat Sheet, When in Rome, Practice Makes Perfect, and The Rule Book. Writing across small-town and sports romance, she is best known for the Rome, Kentucky series and is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author.

Biografía y Trayectoria del Autor

Sarah Adams came to authorship through persistence rather than a conventional literary debut. Born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, she loved reading and writing from childhood, filling blank journals with stories and imagining them as finished books. In high school, an encouraging creative-writing teacher helped make that impulse feel legitimate and durable. Still, the decisive turn came later: after marriage and with two daughters still very young, she began writing her first completed novel during nap times, converting a long-held ambition into a working habit and a professional path.
