That was good. :)

[Caitlyn]

I would like to nominate A Noble Groom by Jody Hedlund

[Natalie]

@Caitlyn: You might want to change your nomination because they haven't read the first book.

[Caitlyn]

I believe that all of this author's books are standalones, As far as I'm aware she hasn't written any series.

But I will change my nomination to Wonderland Creek by Lynn Austin

Is A Noble Groom party of a series? I haven't read it yet but the description makes it sound like a stand-alone. I would like to nominate it, as well. Love the cover and the synopsis. Sounds like a fun and romantic read.

It's part of the Michigan Brides Series:

#1 - Unending Devotion
#2 - A Noble Groom
#3 - Captured by Love

Thank you, Rita. I missed seeing that in the book description. I've heard good things about The Heiress of Winterwood by Sarah E. Ladd and would like to nominate it for a group read.

Update: Even though they are part of the same series, they appear to be stand-alone novels. I think the only thing that connects them is that they all take place in Michigan.
