OH NO!!! You're going to make me think timelines. I always mess up timelines. But okay...(sitting down to write out dates...finally...after publishing 8 of the books already, LOL). Here would be when everything happens. and yep, yep...I have some major stuff wrong for Priceless. Pooey!
Book 1 PRICE OF A KISS = August-September 2013
---Reese and Mason move to Ellamore = December 2013 - between school semesters
Book 2 TO PROF WITH LOVE =April-Mayish 2014 (Mason's only been in town 4 months)
---Brandt and Sarah Meet (13 yrs old) = May 2014
Book 3 BE MY HERO = April to July-ish 2014
---Julian born Jan-Feb 2014
---Skylar born May 2014
Book 4 WITH EVERY HEARTBEAT = August 2014 - start of new college semester
---Zoey's kidney transplant = December 2014
Book 5 A PERFECT TEN = March-ish 2015 (toward the end of Zoey and Caroline's freshmen year of college)
Book 6 WORTH IT (Zoey goes into 7-month premature labor. Learned she was pregnant in A Perfect Ten) = October 2015
Book 7 GIRL'S GOT SECRETS = November 2015 (about a month after Worth It)
---Mason and Sarah's mom dies = November 2015 (Sarah aged 15)
---Noel/Aspen Epilogue, 3 yr after TPWL (Brandt is claimed to be a sophomore in HS then) = 2017 (Brandt and Sarah 16 yr old)
---Ten/Caroline Epilogue, 5 years after APT = March-ish 2020. (Reese is pregnant and about to pop out the twins. Beau Gamble about 6 months old)
*This is also when Asher/Remy's epilogue happens*
---Ten and Caroline move back to Ellamore from Lake Tahoe = Summer of 2020 before their baby Teagan is born.
---Pick/Eva Epilogue. 4th Ryan baby born = May-ish 2022 (Lowe twins 2 yr old, Skylar and Julian 8 yr old)
Book 8 PRICELESS = Claimed to happened at time of April-May 2022 since the 4th Ryan baby is born in their book, meaning it happened at the time of BMH's epilogue. BUT...they would only be 21 years old then (won't turn 22 until Sep and Oct, five months after their story is over), and I claimed they were 22. Also, I said they knew each other nine years, but at this point, it would have only been 8 years. They would have been seniors in college, though, so that is true! Meaning I was a year off on age and years they knew each other.
Book 9 CONOSOLATION PRIZE - Dec 2022 - January 2023. About seven months after Priceless. He's supposed to be 18 years old and a freshman in college, but with Brandt's ages all wrong now...I'll probably have Colton's age wrong too. Ugh.
I hope that doesn't confuse you even more. I apologize for all my fudges!
Though, hmm, maybe I could go back into the epilogue of BMH and make the kids there a year older! That might fix everything. I dunno. I'm sorry. This is awful, I know.

Okay, hi, um you've no idea for how long I've written an email to you in my head! Way too long. My Perfect Ten is my everything. Ten is my soul mate. I want a freaking TEN! I hate the word manwhore so we'll never call him that. It's literally my comfort book. I'm not kidding I've read it more than 17 times. At least! Even in other books I try finding glimpses of him (?)
