"Love in a Coastal Town is Christian Romance at its finest." judi duncan????? "I love this set by Alexa Verde. So many romance stories are focused on young couples but these books show that love is not just for the young. The characters are great and they portray not only a longing for romance but also a longing for and reliance on the Lord. These books bring a bit of sunshine, humor and hope to anyone who has ever found themselves in similar situations." Reid Moore.????? "These four books make a great set. This author has a super way of adding insight to the story line as it moves along. Love, love, love this set." Robin Bunting????? "I love how, even in the midst of an otherwise lighthearted romance story, Ms. Verde can slip in poignant moments and beautiful insights that enrich the emotional journey." MaryEllen.
