This list has become too difficult to manage. As a result, in late February we will be polling for your favorite series of connected romances. That poll will replace this list. Included in the poll will be your favorite series of connected romances that remains relatively unknown.

Series (Family and Otherwise)

This list differs from our other lists in that we cannot guarantee the quality of all the titles listed (obviously it is difficult for authors to sustain A or B quality throughout several books). Where there is a series of books and one received a less than stellar rating, it has been so noted. So, for this particular list only, Reader Beware!
