Stirring novels set in romantic locations (4,5)

I believe the answer is:
love nests
'romantic locations' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'stirring novels set' is the wordplay.
'stirring' indicates an anagram.
'novels'+'set'='novelsset'
'novelsset' with letters rearranged gives 'LOVE-NESTS'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for love nests that I've seen is " Secluded retreats for couples".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
