Bundles of Joy is a large Karen Rose Smith series collecting forty-one category romances from 1995 to 2013, all centered on babies and new parenthood. The books were published across the Silhouette Romance, Silhouette Special Edition, and Harlequin Special Edition lines. The series is essentially a thematic anthology of Smith’s baby-romance output across nearly two decades.

The titles reflect the playful tone of 1990s category romance: Baby Wishes And Bachelor Kisses, The Billionaire and the Bassinet, and A Vow, A Ring, A Baby Swing all signal the lighthearted emotional territory of the books. Later titles from the 2008 and 2009 period show Smith continuing to work in this sub-genre.

Reading any title in the series gives a fair impression of the whole. The books are entirely self-contained, connected only by the shared thematic focus on babies and family formation.
