Thank you!

Done!

What do the books in the series have in common? Do characters overlap or are they in the same setting?

Also, you can set the newest edition of the book to be the primary one on your profile by following these directions

Thank you Lianne!

Emily, in this series, these books are all focused on working men. Men and their jobs and romance.

Hello,
I am a Goodreads author and I was hoping someone could incorporate the three books I have written into a series. The first two books are already linked and I want to incorporate the latest release into the series.

To be a series on Goodreads, books need to have more than a common theme -- like characters in common, an overarching storyline, a shared universe, etc. What makes this a series?

Still waiting for an answer to this.

The fact that they're by one author would make me tend to view it as a series rather than, say, an imprint. Even if the characters are different, surely a series of romances by one author with a common theme have a shared universe.

I get that the line has to be drawn somewhere, but readers would view this as a series. I feel like the rule shouldn't be over-applied. Shouldn't usefulness to the user be a factor?

I read romances from many authors, and I would say this is true of some, and definitely not true of others.

Still waiting to hear back from the author.

Not having heard anything more, I am deleting the series. It can be added back should there be sufficient evidence provided at a later time of meeting Goodreads criteria for being a series.
