Donna Marchetti writes standalone romances that share a common thread: characters who start off on the wrong foot before falling hard for each other. Hate Mail (2024) is the book that launched her career, telling the story of two people who become reluctant pen pals, exchange increasingly heated letters, and slowly discover that the line between hate and attraction is thinner than they thought. It’s a fast, funny read that benefits from Marchetti’s natural ear for dialogue.
The Proposal Project (2025) builds on the same strengths, delivering another romance with plenty of verbal sparring and emotional payoff. Both novels work as independent reads with no shared characters or plot connections. Marchetti’s writing style is light and conversational, and her books tend to move quickly, making them ideal for readers looking for a romance they can tear through in a weekend.
