The More Than Words series by Shayla Black is a contemporary romance series set in Maui, Hawaii. Beginning with More Than Want You in 2017, the books follow members of the Reed family and their extended circle as they find love on the island. Each book centers on a different couple while building on the relationships established in earlier entries.
The series ran for thirteen books through 2022, with titles that follow a consistent naming pattern. Black uses the tropical setting to create a distinct atmosphere for her romance plots, with the family dynamics between the Reed siblings adding an ongoing thread that ties the standalone love stories together.
Black is known for writing steamy romance with strong emotional hooks, and the More Than Words series is a good example of that approach. The Maui setting and family connections give the series a sense of place that grounds the romantic storylines.
