The McClellan-Marino series by Marie Ferrarella spans four books published between 1991 and 2011. The series follows two connected families, the McClellans and the Marinos, through romances that play out across two decades of real-world publishing. Man Trouble introduced the families in 1991, and the next two books, Taming of the Teen and Babies on His Mind, followed in quick succession in 1992 and 1993.
The series then went quiet for nearly twenty years before The Baby Beneath the Mistletoe brought readers back to the same families in 2011. That long gap gives the series a unique quality, almost like catching up with old friends after a long absence. Each book is a standalone romance, but the family ties and recurring characters create a sense of continuity that rewards readers who follow the whole set.
