The Southern Born Christmas series features holiday romances. All four books were published in 2014.
Holiday at Magnolia Bay opens the collection with a Southern setting that runs through all four titles. Just in Time for Christmas, The Trouble with Christmas, and A Very Married Christmas follow with their own couples and holiday complications. The books share a Southern backdrop and Christmas timing but tell separate love stories.
Kaira Rouda is better known for her domestic suspense novels, including Best Day Ever and The Favorite Daughter. The Southern Born Christmas series dates from earlier in her career, when she was writing romance. Readers who know Rouda from her thrillers may be surprised by these lighter, holiday-focused stories.
