Julie Christianson writes contemporary romance with a comedic touch. Her Apple Valley Love Stories series, published between 2021 and 2023, includes five novels set in a small town, each with a title that plays on a pop culture reference. The Mostly Real McCoy, Pretending I Love Lucy, and The Even Odder Couple all hint at the lighthearted, humor-driven tone of her books.
The series follows different couples in and around Apple Valley, with each book working as a standalone romance while sharing the same setting. Christianson’s writing leans into romantic comedy conventions with a modern sensibility, making the books a good fit for readers who like their love stories with plenty of laughs.
