This is a boxed set that will not disappoint. Just like the title, these stories are all about the love. To start this set off we have the author Addison Cole. I have read the first two books previously but they will never get old. If you think beach read, these would be the perfect choice. It’s like catching up with old friends – well, not too old.
This set is a great way to discover new authors. I’ve never read Chris Keniston’s work before and I loved both the setting and the characters in her two books. They are in alphabetical order but they could be read as standalones. I was left wanting to check out the rest of the series that she showcased here so my TBR list has grown a little. On top of that we end this set with a treat by Ms. Keniston – just like a flirt, it’s a real tease.
Another new author for me was Nancy Naigle. I’ve heard the name before and have wanted to read her work so this was the perfect chance. I used to tell the children’s story at my church and one of my stories was the legend of the sand dollar. It was like it was meant to be.
The next two books are by author RaeAnne Thayne. If you know whom she is than you will know that her books are the first two in her Home in Whiskey Creek. Ms. Thayne is also new to me so it was a pleasure going to visit Whiskey Creek. These are ones that I will need to take a trip and make sure the books go along with me.
The price is perfect for this set because where are you going to get seven books for that. And think how much you would pay if you purchased each book separately. Main Street Romance are four authors who have created sweet romance stories for us to enjoy. I can’t wait to see what they come up with next.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

If you enjoy small town romance series like those by Susan Mallery and Jill Shalvis and are looking for something new to read, this collection is a great place to start. Where else can you get 8 books that get you started in 4 different series? You get RaeAnne Thayne’s first two books that take place in Whiskey Creek, Wyoming; Addison Cole’s first two books in the Seaside series that take place on Cape Cod; Chris Keniston’s first two books in Tucker’s Buff, Texas and Nancy Naigle’s first book in Sand Dollar Cove on the North Carolina coast. I love having this many books in one place! The best thing about this collection is that these authors have teamed up to create a new series in a fictional town coming soon! What a way to get to know these talented ladies’ work if you aren’t already familiar with it. I received an ARC in return for this honest review.

Sweet love with a little bit of heat.
I've only read Addison Cole's books so far, but they are enjoyable reads about the Seaside girls who laugh, love, and play for the summer.
For Read, Write, Love:
This is a fun, sweet read about the Seaside girls - one in particular Leanna Bray meets writer, Kurt Remington when he literally rescues her and her beloved dog in a storm. Kurt is a very dedicated thriller author who lives, eats, breathes his work and doesn't have time for distractions. Leanna makes jams and jellies with the sweet heat title of Luscious Leanna's Sweet Treats.
Leanna is unlike anyone that Kurt has ever known which means she's just the one he needs to pull him away from his computer upon occasion. Leanna feels that she is too flighty and unguided, but with Kurt - she realizes that she is just trying to find her way.
Here are just a few of the swoony moments:
"Point taken, but won't he be a total mood killer?...I'm not sure there's any such thing when I'm around you."
"I've written less, but I've never enjoyed my life more than I have this past week with you, Leanna. If this is what it feels like to live in an upside-down world, then I never want to be right-side up."
"You are my moment."
This is a great introduction to what is sure to be a fun series as the Seaside girls fall in love without any explicit details, but still lots of allusion to hot and steamy times!
Dreaming:
4.5 stars
This Sweet with Heat series is a fun summer read. I enjoyed this one even more than Book 1. I felt the characters were a little more developed. Probably helped that I already knew most of them from Book 1.
I can't wait to read the rest of this series. If you are looking for quick summer reads with some sweet heat and funny, engaging characters - check this series out!
I voluntarily requested and reviewed an advance reader copy.

5 Stars. I started this set with the "bonus flirt" that takes place in the Main Street world being established by these authors with ongoing stories. Although a very quick read, Doggone Romance by Christ Keniston was fun and a nice introduction to Romance, Virginia. The way the H/h were introduced was creative with a quirky meet-cute. This story would have been fabulous as a full-length book since the hero seems to have an interesting back story.
I've previously read enjoyed Melissa Foster's inclusions to this set, but as the original versions. I'm excited to read both Naigle's and Thayne's stories in this set since I've been impressed by some of their other work. This is definitely a set worth the asking price. (This is my voluntary and unbiased review of a complimentary copy of the Sweet Love of Main Street Anthology.)

Sweet Love On Main Street is a combination of 4 different author’s books in one. Included in this are some of the best of each author’s . Chris Keniston offers Adam and Brooks which are two of the Farraday series of books that I love. I have read all of this series and am thrilled that you will get to start at the beginning of that great series. Raeanne Thayne’s offering are two of the Whiskey-Creek series. I guarantee you will tear up at the end of Will and Andie’s story. Addison Cole and Nancy Neigle have wonderful stories in the book also. A great read for those who love a warm and interesting love story. I highly recommend these 7 love stories to you.

Such a wonderful group of Authors!!! A great set of books to get.
In Too Deep by Raeanne Thayne - this is one of her older books but a great one. Her best friend's older brother needed to let go of vengeance and see that there is a future. Such a great book.
Dreaming at Seaside by Addison Cole - A great book about finding what you didn't realize you needed. When a cop who loses his partner moves to a small town hoping to give his son a better, safer life. Addison manages to hit it on the nail again.

I have read the first four book and all four were just great. They have wonderful, believable characters and interesting stories to tell. This is a wonderful collection to read this summer.

I have read most of the stories in this set. Addison Cole's Read, Write, and Love at Seaside and Dreaming at Seaside are part of her Sweet with Heat: Seaside Summers series. They are amazing books, and you will want to continue on with the series. Chris Keniston's Adam and Brooks, part of her Farraday Country series, are amazing as well. They will suck you in and make you want to read the rest of the series. You cannot go wrong with this set. I highly recommend it.

This box set is a great deal. I've read a number of books by a couple of the authors and am enjoying all of these in one set. The two by RaeAnne Thayne were engaging. The Seaside stories from Addison Cole are fun and entertaining. I think I want to vacation at the Cape! I'm looking forward to the story from Nancy Naigle as I have enjoyed other stories by her! Chris Keniston is new to me, but I enjoyed the short story introducing us to the town of Romance! This is a great set of books for the price. I received an advance copy in return for an honest review.

Read, Write, Love at Seaside
This was truly a sweet with heat read. It was refreshing to read something different , I was getting into a rut and this came along at the perfect time! I can't wait to read Dreaming at Seaside!
Dreaming at Seaside
I love this series! I have been in a reading rut, and this was the perfect book to take a break with. I couldn't put this book down, and I didn't want to! The characters and story line were fun, sweet, and of course had just a bit of heat. I can't wait to read the next book! #MSBB

I have read 5 of the books in this boxed set so far.
Read, Write, Love at Seaside: (Read Write Love and Dreaming are both Addison Cole)
I adored this book! Kurt & Leanna's love story is so sweet and genuine; you can't help but to fall in love with them.
They are just so real, so honest and just so dang lovable. I couldn't get enough of them. Leanna's friends are also a hoot. Thank goodness for Pepper, Leanna's labradoodle as they may not have met without Kurt having to jump into the ocean to save him.
As a huge romance lover, I have to say that every now and then it is nice to read a romance that isn't buried beneath a lot of sex. It is implied in this book, just not described. Yet the chemistry between Kurt & Leanna is just as hot.
Dreaming at Seaside:
What is there not to love about this book? Nothing! Bella & Caden are a fantastic couple who are absolutely the perfect complement to each other. Their story has all of the pieces and parts that make for a great romance. Addison Cole knows how to write a sweet story with all the intensity, heat and passion but minus the descriptive sex in case that's not your thing. It is most definitely still a sexy read though.
Bella is a strong, funny wonderful heroine and Caden is just, well, Caden. He is a sweet, strong, alpha, protective policeman and a great dad to his 15 year old son Evan who he has raised himself.
Bella's friends who we met in Read, Write, Love at Seaside, are back and of course are up to some of their fun antics as usual. I love this group of people so much and can't wait to watch each one of them find their HEA.
Adam: (Adam & Brooks are both Chris Keniston)
This is a very sweet small town romance and the first in a series of many books each giving another Farraday their HEA. I liked this story, although sometimes it felt like it was stuck in a rut. However, the characters are all wonderful and well written and make you want to be part of their family. They all look out for each other. Adam and Meg definitely start the series off nicely. Love how they met and their whole journey towards love. So much heart and soul in these characters, this town, this writing.
Brooks:
The second Farraday brother falls victim to love in a sweet and wonderful way. Good story, great characters. Brooks is yummy and very protective and Toni is so strong despite everything she has been through. She fits right into this family and town just like Meg did. Brooks and Toni are a perfect match! Another refreshing sex-free romance filled with plenty of heart!
Sand Dollar Cove:
This is my first Nancy Naigle book and I truly enjoyed it. Again this is a nice sweet sex-free romance with a whole lot of heart. She certainly didn't see Brody coming but turns out he is just what she needs and is there for her all the way. Elli moved away from the very small beach town of Sand Dollar Cove years ago but has come back in order to help take care of her grandmother and hopefully help rebuild the area of shops that meant so much to her Pops and still does to Nana and her. Come to find out not everyone in the town wants the same. Good story and great characters and of course a sweet HEA make for a nice read.
I did not read the others yet but I would average these all out at a solid 4 1/2 stars for some pretty sweet romance.

Seven books by four fantastic authors. If you have never read any other these authors, you are in for a treat. This is a perfect way to get to know them. Trust me you will be hooked. I highly recommend this box set. It will not disappoint.
This review is my option and mine only.

Main Street Romance - great sampling of excellent authors.
This boxed set is so worth it. Seven books and a flirt by four awesome authors.
Addison Cole-Read, Write, Love at Seaside
Wow, what a sweet romance this is! Kurt Remington is swoon worthy, organized and a writer. Leanna Bray is cute, searching for a career and doesn't plan a thing. But a chance meeting between the two leads to a whirlwind romance. I loved these characters. Each has their own quirks but the relationship unfolds as they learn more about themselves and each other. I love the innocence of this Addison Cole romance.
Addison Cole-Dreaming at seaside.
A funny and romantic story from Addison Cole that focuses on Bella and her instant attraction to hot police officer Caden Grant, who meets her while she is in a funny and compromising position. Bella is a school teacher from Connecticut who is making major life changes that don't include a relationship. Caden is a single father with a teenage son and all of the typical teenage challenges. Loved this sweet romance.
Chris Keniston Adam & Brooks
Adam is the oldest brother of the Farraday Family with Brooks following. They grew up on the family ranch raised by a father who was widowed at a young age and their aunt. While each book focuses on one of the brothers and the woman they meet and fall in love with, the reader will definitely fall for this family. Each book is unique and the dynamics among the characters keep you glued to the pages.
Nancy Naigle-Sand Dollar Cove
I really enjoyed this book. Elli comes back to where she really wants to be. The Outer Banks of North Carolina have recently been damaged by storms and the pier is in worse disrepair than expected. She has an emotional attachment to the shops as her grandparents built these businesses. She is very creative in her fundraising efforts. Her volunteer to help, Brody, proves to be more than she bargained for. This is a really sweet romance.

Adam - Having grown up in a small town (about 3500) I loved the small town setting of this book. Adam is such a great guy. Meg is a run away "almost" bride who ends up stranded on the side of the rode and guess who is her white knight? Great start to the series. Can't wait to read about the rest of the brothers and sister.
Brooks - Toni has come to town to attend Meg & Adam's wedding. She and Brooks meet and sparks fly. I really like Adam book 1 and loved how Adam and Meg are included in this book as well as Connor who book 3 is about. I think the author is a great writer and I have enjoyed many of her books. I do have one complaint, and this is strictly my opinion, Toni is married and she and Brooks kiss. I realize her husband is abusive and much more but she still shouldn't cheat. That being said, I really liked her and Brooks is such a sweet guy.
Doggone Romance - Great start!! Such a cute romance. Kelly and Rick get wrapped up in each other - literally - well there are dogs involved. Such an adorable town. Can't wait to read the next one.

Talk about a bang for your buck. This collection of novels by very talented authors was a reader’s dream.
RaeAnne Thayne’s books In Too Deep and Endangered are updated versions of books one and two of Ms. Thayne’s series Home in Whiskey Creek.
Endangered centers around Ryder Shaw and Carly Jacobs. A hate to love relationship due to childhood grudges that were unfairly made. It’s filled with suspense and of course romance.
In Too Deep centers around temporary Sheriff Will Tanner and Andrea McPhee. They seem like opposites but the attraction is evident. Both have secrets that could ruin their attraction. Can they overcome their pasts and find happiness?
Chris Keniston’s books Adam and Brooks are books 1 and 2 of her Farraday Country series.
A contemporary version of 7 Brides for 7 Brothers. We have in book one the oldest brother, Adam, who stops to help Meg O’Brien, a runaway bride.
Book 2, we have Dr Brooks Farraday and Toni Castellano. She stops to help a stray dog, and Brooks meets her when he stops to check out if a hit and run has occurred.
Both stories are sweet, clean romance that will touch your heart.
The stories by Addison Cole are clean versions of Melissa Foster’s Seaside Dreams series. These take place in Cape Cod and follows the lives of friends in Seaside. Both cute and fun to watch the interactions of the characters and the town people.
Lastly, Nancy Naigle’s book Sand Dollar Cove centers around two individuals, Elli Eversol and Brody Rankin who once had a romantic relationship that ended badly. Both are back in Sand Dollar Cove . Will these two be able to help rebuilt the town’s pier while also have the chance to rebuilt their love?
All in all, a great collection worth your time.
I voluntarily read this collection. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

Main Street is a great place to lose oneself in stories of courageous women, alpha men and heartwarming romance. Escape into the creme de la creme of feel good reads.
Read, Write, Love at Seaside (Sweet with Heat: Seaside Summers #1) by Addison Cole - Warmth and light abound within an intoxicating romance. Leanna and Kurt have nothing in common. The loner and the optimist may be an odd combination, but the healing qualities they bring out in one another helps them find common ground. They bring out the best in each other, even at their worst. Cole proves that romance can be sweetly seductive with a hint of heat and an abundance of heart. Simply irresistible. (5 star)
Dreaming at Seaside (Sweet with Heat: Seaside Summers #2) by Addison Cole - Against a beautiful backdrop and deeply moving scenarios, sparks fly, hearts get broken and difficult choices are made. Caden and Bella are a reminder that despite the pitfalls, love is a rewarding experience. (5 star)
Adam (Farraday Country #1) by Chris Keniston - For influential, light, genuine stories, a reader need look no further than author Chris Keniston. Tales of heartache and loss, quickly develop into meaningful stories that quite often have me smiling through my tears. Right from the start, she aims for the part of a reader that is most vulnerable. THE HEART! And lands a bullseye 90% percent of the time. (5 star)
Brooks (Farraday Country #2) by Chris Keniston - Oh, these Farraday men. The stuff of dreams. A dormant hero lies buried inside the rugged good looks waiting for the right woman to bring out the warrior. Brooks is every bit as dreamy as his brother but less complicated. My love of strong female leads was fed by Toni. Refusing to be a victim, she sought out to save herself. (5 star)
