Big Trouble on Sullivan's Island

The coastal town setting feels so vivid and inviting. I wonder if the author has personal ties to the area or if it was inspired by real places.

The romantic tension added warmth without overshadowing the plot. I'm curious if the author intended the romance to be a central theme or a charming side story.

The lighthearted moments made the book so enjoyable, but I wonder if that was a conscious choice to keep the tone cozy rather than dark.
