How to Read the Circle B Ranch Series

The Circle B Ranch series, co-written by Lyra Parish and Brooke Cumberland under the pseudonym Kennedy Fox, is a contemporary romance saga set in small-town Texas. The series consists of ten books that follow the romantic endeavors of the Bishop family's second generation. While each book is an interconnected standalone focusing on a different couple, reading them in order is highly recommended to follow the timeline and family dynamics without spoiling previous books' happy endings.

Recommended Starting Point

For the best experience, you should start with the prequel novella, Roping the Cowboy, to get a taste of the series' setting and style. Alternatively, you can dive straight into the first full-length novel, Hitching the Cowboy. If you want the complete family history, you can start even earlier with the Bishop Brothers series, which features the first generation of the family.
