The Macalister series gives Verde’s Rios Azules world a family focus, following four members of one family across seasonal romances in 2019 and 2020. The titles — Season of Romance, Season of Love, Season of Amor, Season of Affection — continue the “Season of” naming pattern Verde used in the Rios Azules Christmas books, suggesting these stories share that warm, faith-adjacent tone.

Family saga romance gives Verde a way to develop the Rios Azules community in more depth. Each book brings in characters from the others, building a portrait of the Macalister family across a year or so of fictional time.

Four books is a manageable series for a family arc, and the seasonal structure gives the progression a natural shape. Readers who enjoyed the Christmas books from the main Rios Azules world will find these feel similar in temperature and tone.
