I already read the first in the Dream Man series. I read the first in the unfinished "Knight". I had no clue at the time there was any connection. I tried to read the first Rock Chick, but never finished. Heroine got on my nerves, among other things. And I have no interest of any kind reading any motorcycle gang books. None.
And that is why I stopped reading her books. At this point I have no clue what I would read first. I don't think I'll make it though the Rock Chick series and that apparently throws off everything else.
Maybe I'll keep reading the ghost series, I liked the first in that one and then read the fantasy series. Assuming characters from the Rock Chicks didn't go to fantasy land also. 
I am not a fan at all of all this intertwine stuff. It gives me a headache to the point where I just don't want to bother anymore. I don't want to be forced reading themes I just don't like. Motorcycle gang stuff. Or having to slug through books I didn't like, 1st rock chick, just to keep up with the stuff.
Grace Burrowes is another one of those that confuses the heck out of me and I stopped reading her too for the same reason. I am just way OCD with reading order. Reading shouldn't be so complicated and that stuff takes the fun out of it for me.
I read Heaven and Hell and read after, that characters from the Rock Chicks were mentioned in there to.  |
I would suggest to you, if you have enjoyed a few of KA's books, that you read the first three of her Colorado Mountain series. There is absolutely NO mention of any other characters in any other series in these books. Those three books are some of my favorites of hers, especially the second one,
Sweet Dreams. As a matter of fact, you could read
Sweet Dreams without reading the first book, because it's set in a different town and the couple in
The Gamble (the first book) are hardly mentioned.
I understand being OCD about reading order, I think I avoided most of Lorraine Heath's London set historicals because the multiple books in the various series fried my mind. But really, if books don't build on each other, like the first few books in the Rock Chick and Colorado Mountain series, why put them off because you're overwhelmed? I'm not really directing this at you, Atunah, I just feel like people are potentially missing out because they don't want to miss any little detail. It seems like it's better to just dive into a book and enjoy the ride. Of course, if a person doesn't like KA's writing, that's another thing entirely, it wouldn't be worth going further in that case!
Thanks for letting me express my thoughts on this. I keep seeing posts about having to read a series in order, and unless a story arc builds on itself it doesn't seem completely necessary. I guess I'm just offering an opposing viewpoint.
