Castle/Quick/othernames.
I might try some of the romantic suspense. For years I wanted to read the Arcane series by this author, but I cannot for the life of me figure out a reading order for me. I cannot under any circumstances read stuff out of order. And by order I mean chronological. I cannot and will not go back and forth in time in a series. I detest that as much as I do in tv shows where after watching 5 minutes of gripping action they put up the "48 earlier". Ugh.
I looked through many reader sites, other listings. I cannot find a cohesive order to read these. I detest intertwinded stuff and one of the most shiver inducing words are "they don't have to be read in order". Shudders.
I had to turn the Joanna Bourne series upside down also as the author wants them to be read out of order. There is no way I am going to read a book about a old bald boss and then go back in time to see his HEA story when he was young. That ship has sailed at that point.

So I had to find a chronological order. Much easier as there aren't as many books.
Almost impossible with the Arcane stuff as there are so many different series over different pen names. Its just too much work trying to figure that out. I have a similar issue with the Dark hunter series. I think that is the one I am thinking off, I can't recall totally now, long paranormal, I read the first couple and then couldn't figure out whats what.
I should be ok reading Amanda Quick standalone HR, which I like and I guess the romantic suspense. But only if they are not related to that arcane stuff. It shouldn't be this much work though reading books.
