The Tangerine Street Romance series uses local businesses as the backdrop for sweet love stories. The Fortune Cafe (2014) started the series, followed by The Boardwalk Antiques Shop, The Mariposa Hotel, and Delilah’s Desserts. Each business on Tangerine Street provides the setting for a different romance.
The concept gives Jacobson a way to build a small connected world while keeping each book self-contained. The charming shop settings add warmth to stories that already lean heavily on comfort and feel-good romance.
