  • Hot Cakes stands apart from the bayou and Sapphire Falls lines but should be read in series order.
  • Why You Should Never is the clearest current label for the retitled Bradfords and Counting on Love material.
  • Erin Nicolle titles should be grouped separately when a page is limited to Erin Nicholas small-town romance.
  • Collections such as Getting Wrapped Up, Naughty & Nice in Sapphire Falls, and Wedding Season may contain previously published material. Check contents before counting them as unread books.
  • Some sources differ on original publication year for early books and retitled editions. This page keeps the most common current title visible and places alternate titles in notes.
