The Carlisle series consists of two novellas that Lori Foster published in 2016. Set in the small town of Carlisle, the stories feature the kind of community-centered romance that Foster does well, with neighbors who know each other’s business and couples who fall in love close to home. Dinner for One opens the series, followed by Built for Love.

Both books are short and sweet, making them a good entry point for readers new to Lori Foster or for longtime fans looking for a quick read between her longer series. The small-town atmosphere ties the two stories together without requiring a strict reading order.
