Cathy Gillen Thacker’s Here Come the Grooms series spans eighteen books published between 1984 and 1992. It opens with Circumstantial Evidence and wraps up with Best Man For The Job. The bulk of the series appeared in a concentrated burst from 1990 to 1992, with thirteen of the eighteen titles falling in that three-year stretch.
The books follow a romance format with titles that lean into wedding and marriage themes, from The Bridal Price and Father of the Bride to Runaway Bride and Wedding Eve. Reading them in publication order is recommended, since characters and storylines carry over from one book to the next.
