Hilary Galanoy

Hilary Galanoy has her fingerprints all over some of the most charming rom-coms out there, and honestly, you can totally tell. If you’ve stumbled across A Perfect Pairing (2022), you know the vibe—witty banter, swoon-worthy leads, and that classic “will they, won’t they” tension that keeps you glued. She’s not just some random name in the credits either. Galanoy’s got this knack for taking those cheesy romance tropes and actually making them feel fresh, like you’re watching something new even though you know exactly where it’s headed (and you still don’t mind, which says a lot). Love, Guaranteed (2020) is another one she’s known for, and yeah, it’s got that quirky premise—suing a dating website for not delivering true love? Pure gold. But what really sets her apart is the way she can sneak in these little moments of genuine heart that just catch you off guard. The laughs are there, sure, but there’s real warmth underneath all the glossy rom-com surface. Now, with La Dolce Villa (2025) on the horizon, people who follow her stuff are definitely watching to see what kind of twist she brings next. She’s got this breezy, fun touch but doesn’t shy away from letting her characters mess up, fall hard, and figure things out in ways that aren’t always tied up with a neat bow. Not every romance writer manages to make the formula work this well, but Galanoy? She pulls it off, every time.
