Portia MacIntosh

Portia MacIntosh is a bestselling British author of romantic comedy novels whose funny, warm, and relatable books have earned her a devoted readership of millions. Her novels are packed with humour, heart, and the kind of romantic chaos that makes for perfect escapist reading. MacIntosh is a former journalist who has swapped the city for the Yorkshire moors, where she lives with her husband and dog. She draws on her real-life experiences — the disasters of dating, the challenges of adulting, and the absurdities of modern life — to create stories that feel both entertaining and genuine. With over forty romantic comedy novels to her name, MacIntosh is one of the most prolific writers in the genre. Her books include Honeymoon For One, The Plus One Pact, Without a Hitch, Wish You Weren't Here, Better Off Wed, and many more. Each novel delivers on the promise of romantic comedy — meet-cutes, misunderstandings, emotional warmth, and satisfying happy endings — while feeling fresh and funny. Her books make excellent use of popular romance tropes — fake dating, forced proximity, second chances, enemies-to-lovers — executed with a light touch and genuine comedic skill. MacIntosh understands that the best romantic comedies work because readers care about the characters, not just the plot mechanics. She has been shortlisted for romance writing awards and has built a strong connection with her readers through social media and book events. Her books are consistent favourites in the Kindle bestseller charts. The audiobook editions of MacIntosh's romantic comedies are delightful, with narrators capturing the humour and warmth of her writing. Her books and audiobooks are perfect for anyone who loves romantic comedy that is funny, feelgood, and full of the kind of romantic mishaps that remind you why falling in love is the best adventure of all.
