The Smoky Mountain series by Erin McCarthy consists of a single book, Back to Basics (2012). Set against the scenic backdrop of the Smoky Mountains, the story trades the urban settings of many of McCarthy’s other books for a quieter, more rural environment.
Back to Basics explores what happens when a couple gets away from the noise of daily life and reconnects in a simpler setting. The mountain atmosphere adds a sense of isolation and intimacy that gives the romance room to breathe.
While this is the only entry in the Smoky Mountain series, it stands on its own as a satisfying contemporary romance. Readers who enjoy McCarthy’s writing and want a change of scenery from her city-based and paranormal series will find this a pleasant read.
