They are all standalone romances, but they do connect in the small-town world and can be best enjoyed in a “loop.” Book 1 leads to book 2, and so on, and at the end, book 10 loops back to book 1, with recurring characters. In other words, a reader can start with any book, read the subsequent book, and then complete the loop.
