One of my favorite summer pasttimes is finding a great BEACH read.  And for me, it’s a plus when I discover a new book that’s set in one of the many places I love to visit.

Looking for a great book to whisk you away?

How about a romantic getaway on the Carolina shores?

Summer Reads of South Carolina

For this list, I chose a few favorites that fit the following:

  • Christian Contemporary Fiction
  • set in great vacation spots in South Carolina
  • written by wonderful authors I enjoy reading
  • sweeps me away on mini-vacations around my wonderful state

Save the Date
by Jenny B. Jones

When Alex needs to win his bid for Congress and Lucy needs to save the girls’ home, the two team up as the most unlikely couple and plan–their wedding to. . .each. . .other.

Great read and lots of page-turning moments between this duo!

A Lowcountry Romance series

a series by Rachel Hauck

Sweet Caroline


People pleasing Caroline finally has a chance for her own adventure in Barcelona. That is, until she inherits Frogmore Cafe.

Ever struggle with making the right choices? Then you’ll relate to Caroline Sweeney.

Love Starts with Elle


Elle loves life in Beaufort with family, friends, and her work.  When a young pastor sweeps her off her feet and announces his decision to take a large church in another state, she finds herself engaged, selling her successful art gallery, and packing her belongings to start a whole new life.

But is this the life of her own calling?

Dining with Joy

Joy Ballard is a cooking host on a popular cooking show–but can’t cook!

Her fun-loving television personality can only take her so far, and when handsome and talented chef Luke Davis joins her show, Joy finds herself struggling with her facade and her conscience.

Love Finds You in Folly Beach, South Carolina
by Loree Lough

Marine biologist Holly Leonard heads to Folly Beach to help a charter boat captain (Parker Brant) write a book about sea turtles.  Both are surprised when first impressions aren’t what they seem.

A tension filled page-turner with all sorts of surprises, this one caused sleep deprivation–I couldn’t put it down.

    Ooh, I’m always on the lookout for a good beach read, Mitzi. And I haven’t read any of these! I think I’ve read all the books by Dorothea Benton Frank, another fabulous SC gal with a great writing style. I’m pinning this!

    And…my reading list just grew by four! There’s always room for another book right? I need to sneak off so I can get reading! By the way, I LOVE your blog. It’s what my youngest would call a “bestest favorite”..
