Kate Daniels is one of my all time favorites. Everyone should go on Tuebl.com and read Kate Daniels. Kate is bad*** Curran is dreamy. The romance doesn't really heat up till the second to third book but you'll feel the tension. Whew!!! I only like stand alones if I'm feeling off kilt, or if I just finished something swoon worthy and won't care if I'll rate it harshly cuz I'm stil not over the previous one. Alas I do prefer series, especially if all of them are already put. No waiting, which is awesome!!
i love series that are well written and well connected so that the reader does not feel unconnected but standalones are also ok with me.. No preference really, depends on the kind of book I am reading and how deep is the story line...
I don't mind reading trilogies but I feel like a series can go on for two long and I especially hate when a book ends on a cliff hanger and I have to wait a year to find out what happens so I tend to buy stand alone's unless I get recommended a series. My favourite series that I'm in the middle of at the moment is "the magicians guild" by Trudi Canavan. The other one that I have to wait til APRIL !!!!! To finish is "Daughter of smoke and bone " by Laini Taylor
I prefer standalones to series. However, if the stories in a series are unconnected like those of Julia Quinn's Bridgertons or Lisa Klepas's Wallflowers, where each book has different protagonists, then I don't have any objection. Some of my favourite series include Bridgertons, Wallflowers, Chicago Stars,FBI/US Attorney series.

I've been meaning to read the Bridgertons series for a while...

That series is highly recommended. The fourth book in that series is my most favourite :)

My all time favorite series is the Addicted Series by Becca and Krista Ritchie. I love every single character. If I love the characters then I want a series because you really get to know each character better.
The trouble with series is that a lot are dragged out to form 3 meagre books, instead of just one great one.However, I do love Jacqueline Rhoades. She's a fellow indie; there's her yummy Wolver series for those looking at weres or Guardians of the Race for a more spiritual/witchy/campy vibe. I hearitly recommend both.
I took the decision personally to write stand alones, so people could pick a book at whim. It can be quite confusing/unclear on Amazon which order a series is in, so I opted out (for now).
I love so many series ranging from The Colorado Mountain series by Kristen Ashley to Undeniable series by Madeline Sheehan. I do really enjoy a series if I really like the characters but it is so easy to slip into a boring/dragged out series. I definitely found that the Crossfire series is being dragged on for far too long.
