In sweet romance, caring comes in a variety of ways. I could make an extensive list of how, but it boils down to the characters in these stories give without expecting.
And they do this because it proves that at the heart of it all, people matter. Not their job, or status in the community, or what they can offer in exchange. They do it because they care.
These are the characters readers root for.
The hero who fixes the broken step because someone might trip—Ivan in Cottage Cove New Beginnings.
The heroine who volunteers for a community project even though her heart feels heavy—Whitney in Cottage Cove Homecoming.
The friend who quietly endures a misunderstanding because the friendship is more important than being right—Kelly in Be My Grumpy Valentine.
I mentioned three of my characters, but this is in every sweet romance we read.
They’re the stories that are full of moments that seem small on the surface. Then, after they settle, they turn into something amazing—the kind of moments that build trust, give the character’s heart room to heal, and ultimately lead them to recognize that the love they’ve been looking for is waiting for their acceptance.
And maybe that’s why sweet romance feels like comfort reading—it reminds us that goodness exists.
Today feels like a good day to remember that kindness, compassion, and care are never small things—and stories that remind us of that matter more than ever.
