Ooh, I wouldn't want you to pass on a good series....I don't think this is the case of the books being intentionally released out of order (like the Christina Warren books). I just think Burrowes wanted everything to happen in a short amount of chronological time, so there's overlap or some time jumping (back) in the various books.
I think there are things brought out in the earlier books that would be spoilered (is that a word?! - "spoiled" doesn't seem right!) if you tried to read these in chronological order (even if that were possible - like I said, at least two of them are basically happening at the same time. Like the Julia Quinn "Wyndham" duology).
On the other hand, if that will make you crazy and take you out of the story, it might be worth passing up for now. I have issues with books in first person PRESENT tense. No matter how good the books are - and people have tried to talk me into a number of them - I'm so preoccupied with the tense that I just can't enjoy the story. (
Time-Traveller's Wife being the exception to that rule).
