Where to Start with Cat Schield

Practical Reader Advice

If you are approaching Cat Schield's books, keep in mind that her novels are fast-paced, high-heat contemporary romances. They work well as quick weekend reads. While they are written to be read as standalones, we highly recommend reading her core family series (Case Brothers and Sweet Tea and Scandal) in order of publication to avoid minor spoilers regarding which couples end up together. For the multi-author series like the Texas Cattleman's Club, you can easily read just her books if you are a fan of her writing style, but reading the full continuity in order is best if you want to follow the overarching mystery or town scandals.
