Penny Reid has published over 100 books since 2013, building a devoted readership with her brand of smart, funny contemporary romance. Her Knitting in the City series, which launched with Neanderthal Seeks Human, established her signature style: heroines who are awkward, intelligent, and relatable, paired with heroes who are won over by brains rather than beauty. The Winston Brothers series continues this approach with a Tennessee setting and pun-driven titles like Truth or Beard and Beard Science.
Reid has expanded her fictional universe through interconnected series. The Hypothesis series links her Elements of Chemistry and Law of Physics books, while the Seduction in the City Universe connects Knitting in the City with newer series. She also writes the Good Folk series, the Ideal Man books (a Jane Austen-inspired set), and the Dear Professor duology. Her rugby-themed sports romance series adds another dimension to her catalog.
