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.

Standalone Novels and Shared-World Collaborations

Revenge of the Wallflowers: A Clarification

While database listings show a massive series of over 50 books under the Revenge of the Wallflowers banner, readers should know that this is a multi-author shared-world collaboration released weekly. Bronwen Evans did not write the entire series; her sole contribution to the project is the Regency romance novella Every Wallflower Has Her Thorns (2024), which acts as Book 26. It is a friends-to-lovers romance that can easily be read as a standalone.

Standalone Historical Works and Anthologies

Outside of her main series, Evans has written standalone novels and several holiday-themed novellas that are often featured in multi-author anthologies.

  • The Reluctant Wife (2012) – Standalone Regency Novel
  • Regency Delights (2020) – A collection containing her individual novellas, including: Highland Wishes and Dreams, A Scot for Christmas, and To Tempt a Highland Duke.
