This is my first series by Ms. Gordon and I have already lined up her other series (which I wish I had read first) to read.
Groom
1. Her Sudden Groom (2011)
2. Her Reluctant Groom (2011)
3. Her Secondhand Groom (2011)
4. Her Imperfect Groom (2012)
The one thing I really liked about this series is the intertwining of all the characters from one book to the next. They were friends or relatives, but it wasn't the 'popular' guy (or girl) and it was the rake that got the attention. It was the ‘brainiack’ or the 'forgotten' one. The characteristics that made up each entity in the stories belonged solely to them and they stayed on course with those quirks through each book. She stayed true to form for each person as they traversed from book one to four.
The only confusing bit for this series was that every person was mentioned by their name with a brief introduction as to whom they were, but then you were expected to remember who they were each time they were mentioned. That was a little difficult for me as I became wrapped up in the story and a name was thrown in it sort of derailed me as I had to then retrace my character list and come up with who they were. Had I read the Ms. Gordon's first series, Scandalous Sisters, I may have been able to keep the extraneous characters straight as they are each featured in those stores, but alas I found this series first and did even think to see if they were linked in any way. As I said, they are in the lineup for the very near future (as I do prefer to mix up my authors as I read to get glimpse of different writing styles, enjoy different time periods of history, and delve into a myriad of cultures.)
All in all this was a wonderful series and I enjoyed the interplay of the characters in each one.
