Characters, characters, characters
I love a book when I love the characters. I like them to be perfectly imperfect, meaning that I want them to be lovable but real. It’s fun to see them grow and learn, and as they do so I care about them more and more. Dana is a master of character development. In the books of hers that I’ve read so far, I’ve completely fallen for the characters and responded emotionally to them. I’m looking forward to reading more!
Series of interest:
I’m focusing on author Dana LeCheminant’s Love in Sun City series, which at the time of this posting is found in Kindle Unlimited. This series features a sibling group finding love all at the same time. The four books take place during the same time period (over a month) and have intermingled scenes. That must be incredibly difficult to write.

I hope you like them too!
Other series:
- The Wonder Boys–Focuses on a group of close friends. The four guys have known each other forever, and they each have a different path to love. You get to learn about their special friendship and how they support each other. They’re a lot of fun!
- Starstruck Love Stories–This is another delightful set of sweet romantic comedies, this time set against the glamorous yet chaotic backdrop of the entertainment industry. The series focuses on the lives and love stories of people entangled in the world of fame, showing both the glitzy and more down-to-earth sides of life in the spotlight.
I’ve only read her sweet romantic comedies, but I will definitely check out some of her historical romance too. For more information about Dana, visit her website.
