kissing in new england & nova scotia
It took me way too long to realize that my favorite romance setting isn't "the beach"โit's specifically cold beach towns. Give me all the foggy harbors, rocky coastlines, seafood shacks, and ferry rides, and characters who need a jacket to walk on the beach.
If you love that cozy Atlantic coast aesthetic, these romances are set everywhere from the Maritime provinces (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island) to the charming seaside towns of New England. Comment to add recs!
