The Rejected Mail-Order Grooms series by Elissa Strati is the companion to her Rejected Mail-Order Brides, this time telling the story from the men’s side. Each of the 11 books follows a groom who has been turned down and must figure out what comes next. The titles give a sense of each man’s situation, from Joseph’s Last Resort to Jared’s Hidden Past.
Published in 2025, this is one of Strati’s newest series. The heroes deal with shattered dreams, confusion, sudden changes, and secrets from their past. Like the brides series before it, the rejection is just the beginning of the story. Each man eventually finds a woman who sees past whatever caused the initial rejection, and the romance builds from there.
