| 6 | Reluctant Christmas: A small town, oceanside romance series | - | Harlow Layne | N/A |
The Willow Bay series brings together two popular romance subgenres: sports and small-town settings. Set in a coastal community, these six books follow different couples whose lives intersect through local connections and athletic careers. The series kicks off with You Make It Easy and continues through several football-flavored titles before closing with a holiday romance.
Layne published most of the Willow Bay books between 2020 and 2022, and the sports angle gives the series an energetic feel that balances well with the laid-back small-town atmosphere. Readers who like their romance with a side of competition and community will find a lot to enjoy here.
