Mad About Series Challenge 2021


I’ve read more HR in the past year than I have in the last six, because of challenges and BRs. I had to excuse myself from a couple of CR groups, because it’s hard to fit it all in.

I'm generally reading less. Not always a bad thing! But I'm missing it and want to get some things read too!








I enjoyed this series Liked the humour in the stories.




Good to know Shaz. I have read the first three books




Wow Shaz. Well done. Glad you enjoyed.

Great. Glad you enjoyed. I haven't read either of yours or Shaz's series. Something to consider for next year's challenge, maybe?


I like reading highlander story’s . I think it’s the Scottish side of my family history, that might draw me into reading them. Hope you enjoy the series.
It was definitely a modern version of Mary Queen of Scots .


Now only ONE MORE to read in this series, How to Catch a Duke.

I have taken a break from the massive Mackenzies and Macbrides series. I've read a lot of them this year, but still some to go....

Jan you will have to let me know if you think it is a good series to collect. If I can I like to read in order.
I am reading The MacCarrick Brothers series by Kresley Cole. Started with book 2 lol, enjoyed 4 stars. So have bought books 1 and 3. Just started to read book 1. Loving the humour, had a few laughing moments already .

..."
Shaz it is a really good series and well worth reading. Very well written with interesting characters. I have just found some of the later books not quite as good as the earlier ones, and decided to take a break. But I recommend. I think reading in order is better for this series.

Can you tell me if these are some what spicy or really spicy? I've always wanted to read this series.
Thank you :)

Can you tell me if these are some what spicy or really spicy? I've always wanted to read this series.
Thank you :)"
probably somewhere inbetween. lol

Shaz - Thanks! I did enjoy most of Spindle Cove & Girl Meets Duke along with Bridgerton obviously. I really LOVED Rescued from Ruin by Elisa Braden..I generally get bored with long series but this one was rivetting through and through barring one book!

Nilambri; I'm also curious to know what series you enjoyed the most :)"
Ida, Darbella, & Sandra - It's difficult to pick favourites but I am going to try:
Romance & Humor - Spindle Cove, Girl Meets Duke basically any Tessa Dare Book/ Series (Obsessed with The Duchess Deal)
Suspense - The London Lords, The Stud Club
Good Characterization - Rescued from Ruin, Any Stacy Reid Book
Light Reading - Duke/ Duchess for All Seasons
LOVE - Love by Numbers (9 Rules to Break when ROmancing a Rake will be go down in history for me)
Sex - Fallen (Any Nicola Davidson book) Fiery Tales (Decent story) and holy mother of God - Sierra Simone lights up a red hot fire (Read her Priest Triology)
The Duke's Club got boring & predictable after the first 3 books


1. Bridgerton - Julia Quinn | Special place in my heart as it kicked of my HR reading
2. Rokesbys - Julia Quinn | Fun-ish light reading, good story, instresting charachters
3. Bevelstokes - Julia Quinn - Ehhh but dramatic reading of mrs Butterworth books is probably the funniest thing I have read in ages
4. Smith Smythe Quartet - Julia Quinn - Cute
5. Splendid Triology - Julia Quinn - Mixed feelings about this one
6. Agents of the Crown - Julia Quinn - Liked it
7. Lyndon Sisters - Julia Quinn - I Loved the Hero from the 1st one
8. Two Dukes of Wyndham - Julia Quinn - Interesting story, the second book is not worth reading, its basically the 1st book with a diff perspective
9. The Stud Club - Tessa Dare - I initially thought it had a good premise but it ended up fizzling very weirdly, individually okay reads
10. Wanton Dairymaid Triology - Tessa Dare - I hated the first book, like hated the damn heroine but the 2nd book was interesting and the 3rd one was meh at best
11. Girl Meets Duke - Tessa Dare - LOVED it..it's damn cute & funny and sexy too
12. Castles Ever After - Tessa Dare - Roamce all the way add some spice to it too
13. Spindle Cove - Tessa Dare - I am partial to Tessa Dare, but I have re-read this entire series
14. Love by Numbers - Sarah MacLean - Ohhhh I fell in love with this series, it gives a full range of emotions
15. The Rules of Scoundrels - Sarah MacLean - Interesting premise but I hated the heroine in 'No Good Duke goes Unpunished'
16. Scandal & Scoundrel - Sarah MacLean - The first one was fun, the others were okay
17. The Rogue Files - Sophie Jordan - Hit & Miss
18. The Debutante Files - Sophie Jordan - Solid 3.5 stars on average, some were good, some interesting and one bad
19. The Forgotten Princesses - Sophie Jordan - Different story but could be a hit & miss
20. Penwick School for Virtuous Girls - Sophie Jordan - I don't know how to describe them, but independent & strong heroines
21. The Derrings - Sophie Jordan - I liked it
22. Bareknuckle Bastards - Sarah MacLean - I don't know why but I loved this series, not your ususal Lords & Dukes n such..but damned if the hero from book 1 wasn't a smooth talking devil!
23. The Wildes of Lindow Castle - Eloisa James - Interesting
24. The Worthingtons - Ella Quinn - Please do yourselves a favor and don't read these books, they grated on my nerves as the series progressed, the 1st book was good though
25. Fiery Tales - Lila DiPasqua - 3 novels & the rest were novellas and I loved every single one of them...and they were HOT!
26. Fallen - Nicola Davidson - Some story, mostly smut, smut & smut same with 'Surrey Sexual Freedom Society' - another smutty series
27. The London Lords - Nicola Davidson - Oh my I LOVED these, so much that I wrote to Ms. Davison and begged her to write more in this series, she said yes btw!
28. The Heart of Enquiry - Grace Callaway - Started off well, fizzled later though, but good story, suspense and some romance obviously
29. Wedded by Scandal - Stacy Reid - LOVED it! Specially 'When the Earl Met His Match' Ms. Reid's character development & story and individuality in every book is unparalleled
30. The Duke's Club - Eva Devon - It had promise to begin with then it just got so damn boring
31. Sinful Wallflowers - Stacy Reid - I loved these books, Ms Ried has handled some difficult topics in these books well
32. Scandalous House of Calydon - Stacy Reid - Ohhh I loved them and they were HOT! Also scandalous
33. The Unwanted Dukes - Jesse Clever - I will say this, Not Enough Grovelling! but the 2nd book hero did not need grovelling, good story, interesting characters, sweet romance & hot sex
34. Pleasure Wars - Jess Michaels - I really like book 1 in this series, but as the name suggest these books are sexy!
35. A Duke for All Seasons - Jillian Eaton - Fun novellas
36. A Duchess for All Seasons - Jillian Eaton - Fun novellas
37. Rescued from Ruin - Elisa Braden - MUST READ, LOVED them, excellent charachter development, Ms Braden is supremely talented considering its her debut series
38. Wickedly Wed - Nicola Davidson - Book 1 was great, book 2 was okay but funny..but had a lot of smut
39. Markham Hall - Sierra Simone - Holy crap these were sooooo damn HOT!!!!!
40. The Albright Sisters - Jess Michaels - I liked them, different premise but interesting story and in true Jess Michaels fashion..Sex!
Series Ongoing -
41. 1797 Club - Jess Micheals (Halfway through) - Ehhhhh
42. Wicked Winters - Scarlett Scott (9/13) - I liked them, cute fun quick read novellas

1. Bridgerton - Julia Quinn | Special place in my heart as it kicked of my HR reading
2. Rokesbys - Julia Quinn | Fun-ish light read..."
Thanks for the quick reviews! I will look into some of your recommendations.
I agree with several of your observations. I also got started with HR because of Bridgeton, and proceeded to the other Julia Quinn books :) I liked book 3, 4 and 5 the most. Also LOVE The Girl meets Duke series and the wedded by scandal series. Struggle a little with Rescue from ruin but I think that is mostly because I have trouble with the reader (I mostly do audiobooks), but once I get into the story I enjoy it - The devil is a marquess is my favorite and is on my reread list already:)

I've skimmed through a few books by Nicola Davidson. Based on what I've read, her books aren't as smutty as I thought they could be, like Jess Michaels and Grace Callaway. Maybe I need to actually read one completely. Fortunately, book 1 (To Love a Hellion) of The London Lords is available in Kindle Unlimited so I'll try to read it when I get the chance.

About Ella Quinn - I still regret reading them. Unfortunately, I finished them, no idea why???? OCD, I guess!

Shaz wrote: "I should think the series you have read this year would count. As it runs from January to December."
Yes, we want as many participants as want to join. We still have half the year and people amend whenever they want. This is a commitment to yourself and your heavy bookshelves, not the group.

2. Rokesbys - Julia Quinn | Fun-ish light read..."
Huh, I think you are in a tier all your own. Do you want to track any others or just consider yourself a successful series addict?!?

I'm quite new to Historical Romances, but this year I have gone all in in the genre and discovered some really good books. I probably would qualify for addict by reading all Julia Quinns books..."
I will post to our shortcut & welcome. So sorry I missed these, I was traveling and not checking in on the mod duties as much as posting reviews and interacting. :)
All-please let me know if you'd like to be added officially / what level!

Thanks! More than series addiction it is an OC need to finish the whole series when I take up a new book. But I would love to track others, read new series and get recommendations.


Interesting. Which books of her's did you find enjoyable? I feel I may have written her off with prejudice and I would like to revisit my opinion if possible, as I did end up liking 'The Worthingtons' Book 1 - Three Weeks to Wed

Loving a Lost Lord



I am now reading book 4 No Longer a Gentleman

The last one was more of a romantic suspense.
Though didn't approve of the heroine in the second book. She was a spoilt girl who broke the hero s heart.
Overall an enjoyable series.
