Romances with connected story lines are some of the hottest selling in the genre, and it seems that nearly every author has set his or her pen to at least one sequel, trilogy, or entire series. From modern day cowboys to wet and wild Navy seals - the category series books are a vital part of our reading pleasure. We love reading about fathers and sons, brothers and sisters, or simply the varied adventures of a special group of friends. Each book in a series holds the added bonus of bringing back much loved characters from previous stories, and we have the pleasure of discovering how their romances have progressed and flourished. Another wonderful aspect of Contemporaries is that they often embrace the elements of modern suspense and mystery novels, with the heroines breaking out of the usual mold and being free to take on the roles historically reserved for men, be it business executive, sleuth, police officer, or even a high-ranking officer in the military. Exciting, sexy and thoroughly entertaining, Contemporary series have it all! We've listed below a few favorite and best selling Contemporary series. We have not listed the books by title, but have listed them by the Series Name.
