Michele | 6355 comments On Amazon I find the "Statesmen Series" of romance novels, so far there appear to be 12 of them:

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=%22statesm...

It doesn't look like this series has been created here on Goodreads. Then again, I'm not sure it truly is a "series" -- the books share a concept, but not (so far as I can tell) characters or settings. Would it be legit to create this series or no?

Miriam | 1831 comments Short answer = Not a series*

Long answer:
Amazon and Goodreads have different rules about what is considered a series.

By Goodreads policy, the books must share characters and/or world-building. Concept is not enough to be considered a series.

*Your amazon link isn't working for me, so I can't confirm if the specific books are a series. I'm working off what you provided as information

Michele | 6355 comments Weird that the link didn't work, here it is again:
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=%22statesm...

Or just go to amazon and search on "statesmen series novel"

Anyhoo, I think you've answered it, thanks for the response. That's what I suspected :)
