Rebels of the Ton by Minerva Spencer
Notorious
Outrageous
Outrageous

Tracking post ... I'm aiming for Obsessive (Level 3) 5-6 series

Bow Street Runners by Lisa Kleypas 3/3
I didn't love this series... the third book was the best but none of the stories I'd recommend.
1. Someone to Watch Over Me
2. Lady Sophia's Lover
3. Worth Any Price

Spindle Cove by Tessa Dare 5/5 books, 3/4 novellas
I love everything about Spindle Cove but book #2 and book #4 are my favorites. The novellas are all fine but none are must reads. This one is supposed to have a new novella coming out eventually.
1. A Night to Surrender
2. A Week to Be Wicked
3. A Lady by Midnight
4. Any Duchess Will Do
5. Do You Want to Start a Scandal

1. Once Upon a Winter's Eve
2. Beauty and the Blacksmith
3. Lord Dashwood Missed Out

Desperate Duchesses by the Numbers by Eloisa James 3/3
I didn't enjoy this series as much as the Desperate Duchesses series but it was fun to read about some of the children we had met in those books. The third book was my favorite.
1. Three Weeks With Lady X
2. Four Nights With the Duke
3. Seven Minutes in Heaven

Mackenzies & McBrides by Jennifer Ashley 11/12 bookes, 4/6 novellas
I love the Mackenzies and McBrides. All of them. The novellas are usualyl nice excuses to see more of the characters I love. If I had to choose, I think Cameron is my favorite. This is an excellent series and I hope it never ends!
1. The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie
2. Lady Isabella's Scandalous Marriage
3. The Many Sins of Lord Cameron
4. The Duke's Perfect Wife
5. The Seduction Of Elliot McBride
6. The Wicked Deeds of Daniel Mackenzie
7. Rules for a Proper Governess
8. The Stolen Mackenzie Bride

10. The Devilish Lord Will
11. A Rogue Meets a Scandalous Lady

1. A Mackenzie Family Christmas: The Perfect Gift
2. The Untamed MacKenzie
3. Scandal And The Duchess
4. A MacKenzie Clan Gathering

Sons of Sin by Anna Campbell 4/4 books, 2/2 novellas
The first book is one of the best Beauty and the Beast stories I've ever read but the rest of the series didn't match up to the first story.
1. Seven Nights in a Rogue's Bed
2. A Rake's Midnight Kiss
3. What a Duke Dares
4. A Scoundrel by Moonlight

1. Days of Rakes and Roses
2. Three Proposals and a Scandal

Smythe-Smith Quartet by Julia Quinn 4/4 books
This was an enjoyable series, particularly the last two books. I hadn't read JQ in a while and I was happy to dive back into her books!
1. Just Like Heaven
2. A Night Like This
3. The Sum of All Kisses
4. The Secrets of Sir Richard Kenworthy

Secrets by Anne Mallory 3/3 books
I loved this series so much. I wish Anne Mallory would write historical romance again! I cannot pick which is my favorite but they are all so so good.
1. Seven Secrets of Seduction
2. One Night Is Never Enough
3. In Total Surrender

I'm a passionate level. I rarely read 2 books in a row part of a series. So I'm starting low

I am going to go for Obsessive this year.

Love seeing everyone's plans. I'll fill out the tracker a little later.

I want to start with voracious, may go up later. Do I have to pick all the series upfront? Cause as excited about the challenge as I am, I didn't decide on anything yet 😂

No, you can pick them as you go. Also - you can read them over a number of years, so if you don't finish the series in 2022, you can move it into 2023 (but mark which ones you have read)

Congrats, Jan! An ongoing series is quite tricky - every time you think you've finished, the author can whip out another one and suddenly take your victory away. No fair! lol

Ha ha. Yep! I'm looking forward to the new book when it arrives in June anyway. Thanks ladies.

I am reading Falling for her Viking Captive by Harper St George. Second book in Sons of Sigurd. This series is written by different authors.
