   The first and second books are by the same author; the former is a historical romance, and the latter a contemporary romance. Both feature female protagonists who were abandoned as children and then become the darlings of their families. The third book tells the story of three sisters struggling to escape their fate in rural areas during the 1960s and 70s, amidst the prevailing patriarchal mindset. It resonates with the realities of that era, and while the ending isn't a happy one, life is always realistic. I've recommended the fourth book countless times; it's truly excellent. I've read it three or four times—it's irreplaceable. The male and female leads were destined for each other, but the female lead's mistake of choosing the wrong person leads to a series of errors, including meeting the wrong man and making bad friends. She is ultimately murdered by a scumbag couple. The male lead then saves her.
