Bravo to Ms. Harmon for a fantastic romance series that involved the Lathem family.  Each book in the series introduced you to the members of Peter and Maureen Lathem's family.  One by one we meet their 7 sons and how they each met their spouses.  I loved how each of the men were reluctant to marry until they met that one person that just blew them away and they knew that they could not live without.  This series covered a number of difficult topics that are relevant in today's world:  gay marriage, death of a spouse, rape, child abuse, divorce, problems that military families face, PTSD, upper class and middle class differences, infertility, and many more.  I loved how family traditions were kept from generation to generation, for example, the Sunday Mass and family meal ritual, or the practice of most cf the couples marrying at the Lathem family church.  I also loved how generous the family was with their money and their time.  It was awesome how each new family member that was introduced into the family was celebrated and accepted, whether it was a new baby, a step child, an adopted child or a pet.  I almost felt a part of the family after the first few books as I learned about the personalities and lifestyles of each family member and what was important to each of them.  My only complaint is the many misspelled or misplaced words throughout the books.  Overall though, I really enjoyed this series and would recommend it to anyone that likes romance stories.  I would truly suggest that you read them in order and the easiest and cheapest way is to buy the complete collection.
