Blog Tour: Review & Q&A: More than Neighbors by Shannon Stacey


Author: Shannon Stacey
Publisher: Harlequin
Publication Date: June 2020


The only thing they have in common is a property line! Cam Maguire is in Blackberry Bay to unravel a family secret. Meredith Price has moved next door with her daughter. He’s unattached. She’s a widowed single mom. He’s owned by a cat. She’s definitely team canine. All these neighbors have in common is a property line. One they cross…over and over. And Cam thought he knew what he wanted—until his family’s secret changes everything.


More Than Neighbors was a cute quick romance.  Two years after being widowed, Meredith has moved back to her home town with her 6 year old daughter Sophie.  Cam is their "annoying" next door neighbor for the summer.  He is in town to take care of his biological grandmother's estate. I enjoyed it.

I enjoyed the characters, Elinor the cat..  Meredith and Cam fit well together.  They were a couple that you want to root for.  I also appreciated that Sophie sounded like a 6 year old little girl.  As much as I enjoyed the romance between Meredith and Cam, I enjoyed another aspect of the book a bit more.  I loved watching Cam learn about the grandmother and father that he never met through reading Carolina's journals. We get a glimpse of some of those entries and I thought it really enhanced the story.  I definitely recommend this one.



Enjoy this Q&A with author, Shannon Stacey:

What was the romance novel that got you hooked on the genre (or: What was the romance novel that inspired you to become a romance author?)

I don’t really remember a time I didn’t love romance novels, but Plain-Jane Princess by Karen Templeton (a Silhouette Intimate Moments from 2001) is the romance novel that renewed my determination to become a published romance author. Not only does it remain one of my all-time favorite reads, but getting to know the author online taught me that it was possible to juggle kids and a home and writing and inspired me to keep trying.

Please share in your own words what it means to experience That Harlequin Feeling

No matter what I’m in the mood for—from a small town single mom to a billionaire business mogul—I know I can reach for a Harlequin romance and read an emotional, positive story that will give me the happily ever after ending I love so much.

What was the name of your first published novel, and tell us a bit about that experience?

There was a lot of variety in my publishing journey before I settled on contemporary romance, but selling Exclusively Yours to Carina Press and seeing the Harlequin name across the top of my contract was a dream come true. More Than Neighbors is my 29th title under the Harlequin umbrella and ten years later, it’s no less of a thrill. And being published by Harlequin Special Edition was another longtime dream come true, so I took myself out to lunch to celebrate (I had the most amazing grilled cheese and bacon sandwich I’ve ever had).
