Kay Correll’s Blue Heron Cottages series is set in a coastal community. Memories of the Beach (2022) launches the series, followed by Walks Along the Shore (2022), Bookshop near the Coast (2023), and five more entries through Sea Glass from the Past (2024).
The titles reflect the seaside setting: a bookshop, a wharf restaurant, lilacs, a flower shop, and sea glass all figure into the stories. Each book follows a different romance, but the cottages and the coastal town provide continuity. Correll published six of the eight books in 2023, making that the most active year for the series.
Readers who enjoy sweet romance with no explicit content will find this series fits that category. The books can be read in any order since each focuses on its own couple, but starting with Memories of the Beach gives the best introduction to the town and the recurring characters who appear throughout.
