FAQs
Who is Mecca Romance?
Mecca Romance is the shared world of author Cecelia Mecca, who writes across three genres and pen names. A former 8th grade English teacher who followed her dreams of becoming a romance author after the success of her first published series, Cecelia left behind a career she loved, and a newly obtained PhD in C&I/Literacy she never quite used, and has no regrets!
Cissy Mecca – steamy small-town contemporary romance
Cecelia Mecca – historical and Scottish medieval romance
C.L. Mecca – romantasy and paranormal romance
Each pen name offers a unique escape, but all share emotionally charged, flirt-filled love stories where strong women fall hard and always find their happily ever after.
What kind of stories can I expect?
From castle corridors to cozy coffee shops to magical realms, Mecca Romance books are for readers who love the emotional build, flirt-filled chemistry and that strong heroines who never loose themselves.
If I'm new to you, where do I start?
Begin with Last Call from the Boys of Bridgewater series for steamy, small-town romance or check out the chronological reading order.
Try The Thief’s Countess from the Border Series for a medieval knight-and-lady love story.
Dive into The Vampire’s Temptation, book one of the Bloodwite series, for paranormal romance with vampires and heat.
You can find a complete reading order guide on the site.
I'm a mood reader. Can you help me?
Absolutely. Many Mecca Romance readers choose their next book by mood, not genre. If you’re not sure where to begin, use the Start Here mood quiz to match how you’re feeling right now with the best Mecca Romance series for you.
Are the books connected across pen names?
Each series stands alone, but all three pen names are connected through shared themes of strong heroines, irresistible heroes, and emotional depth … part of one larger Mecca Romance universe. There is one exception. Book ten of the Border Series, The Knight’s Reward, introduces the characters who become vampires, still feuding, seven hundred years later in Bloodwite.
Where do I get bonus content/ stay updated?
Join the Mecca Romance Insider Newsletter to access exclusive prequels, bonus scenes, and special edition updates across all three pen names.
Are your books available in other languages?
Yes! Cecelia Mecca’s historical romances are already translated into German and French, with more translations in progress.
Where can I connect with you?
OK, you caught me! This one is actually my own question. But I would love to connect with you in the Mecca Romance Readers Group on Facebook or become part of the Passport & Sticker Club for monthly romance-themed surprises and exclusive rewards.
