FridayReads and FictionFriday
I highly recommend Lynn Kurland's novels, in particular, her #dePiaget and #MacLeod series. Here's the kicker, the two series have a lot of crossovers, too!
What is the genre of the two series? It depends on the novel.
The most common is romance and romantic (the romantic “genre” isn't necessarily romance per se). Now, we are not talking about romance as most people assume, a girl is head over hills on a hunk guy who is a secret villain or a vampire. (aside: Nothing wrong with that particular sub-genre, I read those, too.)
There is also a touch of family and relationships here and there.
The first book I've read was Dreams Of Stardust. It was so good, I bought every copy of it I saw and gave away for free to friends and colleagues. I recommend starting with it if you are new with Lynn Kurland's works.
You don't have to worry if you start in the middle, or the latest book. Each book is stand-alone. In some, you'll get hints of the greater universe, in some, you wouldn't even know it unless you read, or have read, the other novels.
For example, you can start with One Enchanted Evening and One Magic Moment. These are two are like twin books but at the same stand-alone.
Lynn Kurland is an American author, and the de Piaget and MacLeod series are both set in the United Kingdom. The former is around England, while the latter is around Scotland.
Lastly, if you do want to read the books in an order suggested by the author herself, check out

But, trust me, don't look for a chronological order. The entire universe involves time travel here and there with paranormal, too. It is hard to have an anchor. Read the novels in any order you want.
