The Orchard Brides series by London James is set around a family orchard and features eight romance novels plus a companion cookbook. The fruit-themed titles (Avocado Toast, Apples for Ashley, Lemon Drop Kisses, Apple Tree Kisses) give the series a warm, homey feel that matches the orchard setting. Pecan Blossoms and Photographs, Apple Blossoms in Montana, and Falling For Paige Under The Peach Tree round out the romantic stories.
All nine entries were published in 2022. The companion cookbook, Treats From the Orchard, is an unusual addition to a romance series and suggests how central the food and farming elements are to these stories. The orchard itself ties the books together, providing a shared location and family connections between the different couples.
For readers who enjoy romances with a strong sense of place and agricultural roots, The Orchard Brides offers a fresh setting. The mix of fruit varieties, small-town dynamics, and love stories makes this series stand out from James’s western historical lines.
