The Bashful Brides series brings together three romances about women who resist the idea of marriage for their own reasons. Not The Marrying Kind came first in 2012, with Not the Romantic Kind and Not the Daring Kind following a decade later in 2022. The long gap between entries reflects Marsh’s busy publication schedule across many other series.

Each book stands alone with its own couple and conflict, united by the theme of heroines who need convincing before they will consider commitment. The titles signal the light, self-aware tone that runs through the series.
