“Harvest Hollow” book list

Salutations!

As promised, I am attaching the “Harvest Hollow” book list, which is my way to combine a multi-series grouping of books written by some of the genre’s top authors. All of these books are closed door or fade-to-black as far as their spice level (which usually means kisses only), the mild swearing (i.e., “freaking”) depends on the author, and some plots do feature triggering topics, such as off-page deaths of family members, chronic illness, and previous or current family dynamics that aren’t – let’s say – “The Brady Bunch.” Nothing violent or inappropriate happens or is discussed, so these are typically safe for folks wanting a low- to no-spice romcom, like a Hallmark movie that is sometimes a tad more realistic and grounded in the tricky situations people face while navigating life and love.

Note: some of these titles were originally part of the “Sweater Weather” series with themed cover art, which has sort of disbanded, with some the authors pulling their titles into their other series; I’ve tried to note when a title is across series so if you want a really deep dive into the fictional worlds of some of the character couples, there’s the ability to do so. Some side characters will be featured in their own stories, either before or after a particular title, so it’s up to you how far down the rabbit hole you go!

We are going to Harvest Hollow, North Carolina!

Salutations!

In my ongoing efforts to offer recent and relevant recommendations during readers’ advisory sessions about adult fiction, I’ve stumbled across the world of contemporary clean romance that excludes the faith aspects found in Christian fiction. Personally speaking, I am a low-to-no spice reader of romance and appreciate a nicely closed door and/or fade to black when character relationships dip into the… um… intimate territory of FMC with MMC [female main character with male main character].

To totally fit the bill, there is a 3-series grouping of books written by some of the genre’s top authors that I have affectionally dubbed the “Harvest Hollow” books! I started a book list at the public library where I work to help patrons navigate the fictional world, which I will tweak a tad to reflect that flair of RLGing that I’m sure folks appreciate before posting here (and update since there’s been a surprise seventh novel in one of the sub-series recently published!).

Stay tuned for all things Harvest Hollow! I think you’re going to want to move figuratively to this small fictional town that feels like a modern Mayberry!

RLGing,
