Love & Mishaps Series


Looking for something different?

Quirky plots, memorable characters, farcical situations, witty dialogue, hilarious moments and plenty of sweet romance set in the Bristol area of the UK.

If you like a cast of characters whose lives and plots intertwine in unexpected ways, stories that include emotional depth and social issues, try this standalone series! For maximum enjoyment, start at the beginning of the Love & Mishaps world.

Comparable authors? Perhaps Beth Moran combined with Jennifer Cruisie but with fade to black, sweet romance.
