Best Romance Series: Our 11 Picks

Our editorial picks of 11 romance series with book counts, years and a link to each full reading order. Contemporary romance and romantasy.

How we picked

These are our own picks, not a ranking of quality. Each series has at least 3 books, a full reading order on this site checked against two sources, and a place in our reviewed genre groups. They are listed by how often people search for their reading order where we have that number, then by number of books.
