Bride on Approval is a multi-author Harlequin series published in 2009 and 2010. The seven books share the theme of arranged or forced marriages, with heroines becoming brides through bargains, family obligations, or power plays. Titles like Pure Princess, Bartered Bride and Captured and Crowned make the arrangement premise clear.
Caitlin Crews contributed Spanish Aristocrat, Forced Bride to the series. The books use the forced-proximity of an unwanted marriage to generate romantic tension, with each couple eventually finding genuine love despite the circumstances that brought them together.
