The Luchetti Brothers series is set on a working dairy farm in Illinois and follows six siblings as they each find love. The series began in 2001 with Leave It To Max and wrapped up in 2006 with The Mommy Quest. Each book gives one of the Luchetti siblings a turn in the spotlight, mixing romance with the day-to-day realities of farm life and family obligations.
Handeland drew on her own Wisconsin upbringing for the rural setting, and the family interactions feel authentic and warm. The brothers (and one sister) deal with problems like keeping the farm running, raising children, and reconnecting with family after time away. The series earned praise for its humor and realistic small-town atmosphere.
