Northern Lights
Hannah Hudson decides to take a break from her busy restaurant and her life in London after her girlfriend, who she thought she’d spend her life with, suddenly walks out on her. She travels to a small boutique hotel in Kirkenes, Norway, hoping to spend a peaceful and relaxing Christmas by herself.
Kristine Miller loves adventure. A bank manager living in a small town in Louisiana, she’ll take every opportunity she can get to explore the world. Kristine travels to Norway hoping to see the famous northern lights but when she meets Hannah, a fellow guest at her hotel, she realizes soon enough that the northern lights might not be the most fascinating thing there.
Southern Roots
Hannah Hudson has had a rough start to the year. Returning home to London from her magical holiday in Norway, still on a high after meeting the wonderful Kristine, her newfound happiness is dealt a crushing blow when she discovers that her ex has been stealing from her and she is going to lose her business. A letter from an American lawyer throws her an unexpected lifeline, informing her that she’s inherited a house and a restaurant in Presley, Louisiana, from her biological mother who gave her up for adoption at birth.
When Hannah suddenly shows up in Kristine’s life again there is no denying that destiny has a plan for them, but Hannah’s life is in London and Kristine’s is deeply attached to the beautiful South. Can they overcome the challenge of distance to give themselves another shot at love?
Eastern Nights
Felicia Perez, a carefree, hopeless flirt from Miami, is working a second job as a fitting model in Bangkok while saving up to expand her own clothing line. She loves women and her freedom and never shies away from going after what she wants.
Kate Simmons is a passionate interior designer who is married to her job. Her love for beauty is universal; she can’t imagine tying herself down to anything that might limit her enjoyment of it, and that includes the shackles of a relationship.
When they meet in a hotel bar in Bangkok, they are instantly drawn to each other, but with both being used to having the upper hand, the situation is confusing to say the least. When two hunters cross paths, will one end up being the prey?
Western Shores
Madison Wilson, a recently graduated marine biologist, is ready to start her adult life with her first job as a research technician in Santa Cruz. After moving to Capitola, a sweet and colorful beach town in Northern California, she is immediately enchanted by her new house, as well as her beautiful landlady, Ally.
Ally Santos, a widow and single mother, is relieved to be rid of the fuss of holiday tenants, as she’s busy enough with her highly gifted son Theo and her bar, Western Shores. When a young, pink-haired girl moves into her pink house, she’s hoping life will get calmer, but nothing could have prepared her for the curious attraction she feels toward her new neighbor…
Northern Vows
Hannah and Kristine have returned to Norway to stay at Espen and Dani's new eco-resort. They are excited to be taking part in the festivities surrounding Midsummer's Eve, but they also have a bigger celebration to plan. This time, there will be no sad goodbyes because they're getting married!
Daisy, a waitress at The Radley and aspiring photographer, is delighted to be responsible for their wedding pictures. Yet, when her lens meets a bathing Scandinavian beauty in the early hours of the day, she captures way more than she bargained for.

HEA, hooray 💕
It is a difficult task to review objectively one book, let alone the 5 that makes up this wonderful series.
After saying that, I think of how difficult it must have been for Ms. Gold to continue a logical progression of story line, character development and logical evolution of time in the lives of so many disparate characters joined together simply by love, affection and respect.
At first I was hesitant to begin reading a series of interconnected stories fearing that I might get lost in the process, but now I am thankful to the author who held everything together wit love and marvelously interesting characters.
Sit back and begin book one and get emotionally involved with a cast of interesting people who, depending upon your orientation, either God or the universe has smiled upon.
I look forward to reading many more works from this author. 😘

Incredibly well put together and altogether charming
I'm surprised how fun this was to read and how well the stories fit together. It must have been a challenge to make it all work, but everything fits together seamlessly.
