Virgin Brides is a twenty-three-book collection of Karen Rose Smith romance novels published between 1995 and 2011. The books were originally published as part of the Silhouette Virgin Brides series, a Harlequin continuity that featured wedding-themed category romances. Titles like The Guardian’s Bride, Glass Slipper Bride, and The Bounty Hunter’s Bride show the range of hero types and settings within the collection.
The series spans a significant portion of Smith’s career and includes both her early 1990s Silhouette work and later Harlequin Special Edition titles. The bridal theme gives the collection coherence, though each book is a standalone romance that can be read independently.
