Carolina Cove follows a cast of characters living in and around a fictional North Carolina coastal town, with each book pairing a new couple while familiar faces from previous books drift in and out. The setting has the relaxed, close-knit feel of a real barrier-island community — coffee shops, small businesses, neighbors who know each other’s business whether they want them to or not.
The series shares DNA with the Seaside Sisters books, and some characters cross over between them. Recurring themes include people starting over after a career setback or heartbreak, grumpy-meets-sunshine dynamics, and the push and pull between putting down roots and wanting to leave. The stories are clean and wholesome, written for readers who prefer their romance slow and heartfelt.
