ABOUT ME

xoxo,
Nicole

I write romantic comedies full of laugh-out-loud humor, realistic characters you can’t help but fall in love with, and plenty of steam! My favorite men to write are the ones who are down bad for their women.

I live on the East Coast with my romance-obsessed assistant: a tuxedo cat named Beefcake the Mighty. When I’m not in the lab or behind my computer writing, you can find me exploring indie bookstores and wading through tidepools in search of critters. 

Have fun digging through my website—a little fishy told me there are hidden pages full of secrets.

"Nicole Cubba, you have my whole heart after this. No notes. Absolute perfection...

...In short: This book gave me every single thing I want from a STEM romance, like humor, longing, heartfelt representation, and a love story that feels earned and deep. Nicole Cubba, you have my whole heart after this. No notes. Absolute perfection.”

— Goodreads reviewer, Deep In Love

"It was fun, it was hot, it was emotional...

...The balance and the pace were perfect, not to mention the love for science and marine biology oozing from every page.”

 —Goodreads reviewer, Deep In Love

"It’s smart, it’s soft, it’s sexy—and it felt so real...

...This book completely stole my heart. I went into it expecting a fun academic rivals-to-lovers story set at sea, and what I got was a deeply emotional, thoughtful, and slow-burn romance that I couldn’t put down. It’s smart, it’s soft, it’s sexy—and it felt so real.”

— Goodreads reviewer, Deep In Love

"I laughed, I cried, and I felt like I was falling in love alongside the characters...

...My favorite books are the ones that give me all of the emotions (and that I can't put down), and this one checked that criteria with flying colors. I laughed, I cried, and I felt like I was falling in love alongside the characters. This book, and the entire series, just reminds me of the softest, awkward, finding yourself, figuring things out together, parts of love.”

 — Goodreads reviewer, A Game Plan For Love

"You can really see yourself and your friends in the characters Cubba writes...

...I absolutely loved this book. From the *chef’s kiss* banter between the main characters to the dynamic of the larger friend group, the book had me smiling. You can really see yourself and your friends in the characters Cubba writes. On a personal note- as someone with PCOS, the representation of living with those challenges and how they impact your psyche was great to see.”

— Goodreads reviewer, Love On The Line

"If you need that hit of dopamine to get through the day, this is worth the read...

...Super cute, fun story. If you need that hit of dopamine to get through the day, this is worth the read. Henry and Sawyer will remind you of those best friends that could have been.”

— Goodreads reviewer, A Play For The Heart

"I absolutely devoured this book, there wasn’t a single dull moment....

...WOW. I absolutely devoured this book, there wasn’t a single dull moment. I’m admittedly pretty picky when it comes to romcoms but I cannot even express to you how perfect this was.”

—Goodreads reviewer, Fumbled Into Love
