Best Laid Plans (2021) received a starred review from Publishers Weekly, which wrote, "Parrish’s sweet and sensitive treatment allows the men to become partners in healing. This love story is heartrending, swoon-worthy, and extremely well-told".
The Lights on Knockbridge Lane (2021) received a starred review from Publishers Weekly: "Parrish elevates what often can be formulaic in category romances to a fine art, with laugh-out-loud dialogue, eccentric but endearing characters, and an emotionally satisfying finale".

Publishers Weekly called The Holiday Trap (2022) "a fluffy wintertime treat".
