Loving Husband Series Reading Order

Most readers begin their reading journey with me with the Loving Husband Series. My suggestion is to begin the Loving Husband Series with Book One, Her Dear & Loving Husband.

Here is the publication order of the six-book series.

  1. Her Dear & Loving Husband
  2. Her Loving Husband’s Curse
  3. Her Loving Husband’s Return
  4. Down Salem Way
  5. The Duchess of Idaho
  6. And Shadows Will Fall 

Some readers prefer to read the books in chronological order. If you do, then read them in this order:

  1. Down Salem Way
  2. Her Dear & Loving Husband
  3. Her Loving Husband’s Curse
  4. Her Loving Husband’s Return
  5. And Shadows Will Fall 
  6. The Duchess of Idaho
