Sugarville Grove by Tess Thompson alternates between seasonal romances and Christmas stories. The ten books, published 2024-2026, follow couples in the fictional Sugarville Grove through Sweet Surprises, Christmas Promises, and other seasonal pairings.
The alternating structure means a “Sweet” book is always followed by a “Christmas” book. Sweet Surprises (2024) and Unexpected Gifts (2024) started the pattern, and it continues through Sweet Surrender, Christmas Promises, Sweet Home, Christmas Treasures, Sweet Music, Savoring Christmas, Sweet Fortune, and Christmas Encore. The holiday entries make good seasonal reading on their own, though the character connections reward reading in order.
Thompson has written many small-town romance series, including the Blue Mountain, Emerson Pass, and Cliffside Bay books. Sugarville Grove continues her preference for close-knit communities where neighbors become family and romance grows out of everyday life.
