Talk of the Neighborhood is a Harlequin Special Edition continuity that ran from 2006 to 2011, set in a suburban community where privacy is in short supply and opinions flow freely. The eight books follow different residents as they navigate romance under the watchful eyes of their neighbors. The Reluctant Cinderella opens the series, and the subsequent titles explore perfect wives, city girls, country doctors, and mothers in training.

The neighborhood setting is the real engine of the series. Every new relationship, every unexpected pregnancy, every life change becomes the talk of the block. Marie Ferrarella and the other authors use that built-in audience of nosy, well-meaning neighbors to create comedy, tension, and the occasional dose of unwanted advice. The result is a series that feels like a soap opera in the best sense, where the community itself is as much a character as any of the couples at its center.
