How The Remingtons Fits Into the Love in Bloom Universe

Melissa Foster's Love in Bloom is an expansive, interconnected universe featuring multiple families. To get the absolute most out of the overarching continuity, readers should know where the Remingtons fall in the grander timeline. The main series groups are recommended to be read in this sequence:

Snow Sisters (starting with Sisters in Love)
The Bradens at Weston, CO (starting with Lovers at Heart)
The Remingtons (starting with Game of Love)
The Bradens at Trusty, CO (starting with Taken by Love)

Characters from the Snow and Braden families make guest appearances in the Remington books, and the Remingtons show up in subsequent series. Reading them in this order ensures you never encounter a spoiler about who ended up with whom in the earlier books.

Spin-Offs and Cross-Series Connections

One of the most notable connections in The Remingtons is Cash Ryder from Flames of Love. Cash belongs to the Ryder family, whose members go on to star in their own dedicated spin-off series, The Ryders (which begins with Seized by Love). Additionally, Boyd Hudson from Touched by Love is a firefighter coworker of Cash, bridging the gap between the Remingtons, the Ryders, and the local first-responder community in the series.

What to Know Before You Start

Every novel in The Remingtons is designed to work as a complete standalone story with a guaranteed Happy Ever After (HEA). You do not have to read the other books to understand the plot of any single novel. However, because the siblings are close and interact frequently, the secondary character plots and cameos will make much more sense if you read them in order.

The series is known for its high steam level, deeply emotional storylines, protective alpha heroes, and independent, strong-willed heroines. If you enjoy contemporary family-saga romances with plenty of passion and heart, this is a perfect place to dive into Melissa Foster's writing.
