Talk of the Neighborhood is a Karen Rose Smith series collecting eight romances published between 2002 and 2016. The books share a small-community setting where neighbors watch out for each other, sometimes to the point of interfering in romantic matters. The social fabric of the neighborhood is as important to the stories as the individual romantic plotlines.

The series spans a wide period of Smith’s career and includes both Silhouette/Harlequin titles and later reprinted or digital editions. Books like The Reluctant Cinderella and The City Girl and the Country Doctor reflect her range within the community-romance sub-genre.
