Six romance series to dip into this fall
The air is crisp and you’ve dug out your coziest sweater. Now it’s time to pick a new romance series to start. Okay, fine. It’s always a good time to start a new romance series! Whether you are in the mood to visit a small town, find your next cowboy love, or laugh out loud, we have you covered. Happy reading!
Scoop from editor Leah Hultenschmidt: “Katie MacAlister’s paranormal romances aren’t just laugh-out-loud reads. They’re snort-beverage-out-your-nose hilarious. Get ready for dragon-shifters, demon-slayers, and a delightfully irreverent take on mythology.”
About the book: One moment, I was a normal (if somewhat germaphobic) math teacher getting ready for summer vacation. Then my sister died in a pile of black ash, leaving me with a sword... and her destiny as dragon hunter. It turns out there's a whole other world out there filled with demons, dragons, and spirits. Now my job is to protect mortals - and I haven't got a clue what I'm doing.
Scoop from editor Alex Logan: “Christmas on Mistletoe Lane is the start to this festive new series and will appeal to fans of RaeAnne Thayne and Debbie Mason. Stay at the famous Sweetwater Springs B&B, eat fudge and sip cappuccino at Dawanda’s Fudge Shop, and enjoy the holiday lights while ice skating on Silver Lake.”
About the book: Christmas is coming to the North Carolina mountains, and the air is fresh and crisp and filled with promise. After the devastating loss of her job in the big city, the small town of Sweetwater Springs feels like heaven to Kaitlyn Russo. She's inherited her grandparents' charming (if a little rundown) bed and breakfast, and it's just the new lease on life she needs. Only "heaven" comes with a catch-and a handsome and completely infuriating one at that.
After what he hopes will be a quick trip, Mitch Hargrove wants nothing more than to put his hometown in the rearview mirror. But his plans get derailed when he learns he's now half-owner of the Sweetwater B&B. The fact that he's given only two months to make the inn a success is a huge problem, but it's his pretty-and incredibly headstrong-partner who's the real challenge. With the holiday fast approaching and a grand re-opening looming, will Mitch keep running from the ghosts of Christmas past . . . or will he realize the true gift he's been given?
Scoop from editor Madeleine Colavita: “The small town of Big Verde, Texas has everything—cowboys, cowboys, and more cowboys! It also has cute kids, found families, and a little bit of fairy tale magic. Come on down!”
About the book: After one too many heartbreaks, Travis Blake hung up his cowboy hat and put Big Verde, Texas, behind him. But when he gets the call that his young nephew needs him, he knows he has to return home. His plan is to sell the family ranch and hightail it back to Austin, but there's a small problem: the one person who stands in his way is the one person he can't resist.
Maggie is pretty sure she hates Travis Blake. He's irritating, he's destroying her business, and . . . and he's just so frickin' attractive. But when they're forced to work together, Maggie discovers that the Most Annoying Man in the World is more than he seems. He's sweet with his nephew, he helps out in the community, and he makes her heart flutter. Maggie doesn't want to risk everything on a man who wants to leave, but what if she can convince this wayward cowboy to stay?
Scoop from Leah Hultenschmidt: “With her trademark warmth and wit, New York Times bestselling author Grace Burrowes introduces the highly unconventional Wentworth family, Regency romance with a Cinderella twist.”
About the book: One minute, London banker Quinn Wentworth is facing execution. The next, he's declared the long-lost heir to a dukedom. Quinn has fought his way up from the vilest slums, and now he's ready to use every dirty trick he knows to find the enemy who schemed against him.
Scoop from Amy Pierpont: “This is the perfect cowboy romance for fans of Lori Wilde and Carolyn Brown! Rodeo rider Austin Davis will do anything to win back the love of his life. But Carly’s definitely hiding a secret—one that will test the depth of their love and open a new world of possibilities.”
About the book: Carly Beauchamp has loved cowboy Austin Davis since first grade. Ask anyone in their dusty, backwater New Mexico town of Unforgiven, and they'll say "Carly and Austin" the way some say "big trucks and country boys." But after years of waiting for a wedding ring, Carly's done with being a rodeo widow . . .
Scoop from Amy Pierpont: Fans of Elizabeth Hoyt’s beloved Maiden Lane series will love the first book in her Greycourt series! When the Duke of Harlowe, the man who destroyed her brother, appears at the country house party Freya de Moray is attending, she does what any devoted sister would do: She starts planning her revenge.
