The Merridew Sisters series follows four sisters as they make their way through Regency society, each finding love with the last person they expected. The “Perfect” titles reflect the sisters’ search for ideal matches: “The Perfect Rake” (2005), “The Perfect Waltz” (2005), “The Perfect Stranger” (2006), and “The Perfect Kiss” (2007).
Anne Gracie uses the four-sister structure to explore different temperaments and romantic conflicts. Each Merridew has her own personality and challenges, and the heroes are tailored to complement them. The sisterly bonds give the series emotional continuity, as early marriages change the family dynamics for those who come after.
