Where to Start with Bronwen Evans
If you are new to Bronwen Evans' historical Regency romances, the best place to begin is with the Disgraced Lords series, starting with A Kiss of Lies. This series is her most famous historical work, offering a perfect blend of high-stakes intrigue, dark secrets, and intense romantic chemistry. Alternatively, you can start with the Taming a Rogue series (originally published as the Invitation To... series), beginning with Lord of Wicked (originally titled Invitation to Ruin), which was her award-winning debut novel.
For readers who prefer contemporary romance, the small-town setting of the Coopers Creek series, starting with Love Me, provides an excellent entry point. If you enjoy sports romance, you can dive straight into either the auto-mechanic focused Bad Boy Autos (Drive Me Wild) series starting with Reckless Curves, or her hockey-themed Boston Bruisers series beginning with Pucking Tempting.

It is a friends-to-lovers romance that can easily be read as a standalone.
