It's not as complicated as some family sagas. For the Medieval 'By' series, the order is: 1. By Arrangement, 2. By Design, 3. By Possession. For the Regency 'Rogue' series: 1. The Seducer, 2. The Charmer, 3. The Saint. The 'Sporting' series is just two books: 'The Romantic' and 'The Protector'. There's also some earlier, less-connected standalones like 'The Sinister Monk'.
My advice? Print this list out and stick it on your fridge. Cross them off as you go. It's satisfying to see your progress through her wonderful, interconnected world.

A practical tip: Goodreads lists are your friend. Search for 'Madeline Hunter medieval series order' and you'll find several fan-created lists with votes and comments. Compare a couple of them to see the consensus. Often, the top-voted list is a hybrid—it groups series together but also suggests the best flow between groups. Print it out or save it on your phone. Then, just check off each title as you go. This method saved me from the paralysis of trying to figure it out from scratch. It's the collective intelligence of the romance community at work.

If you're anal about timelines like me, the internal chronology is tight. Events in one book are referenced in the next as recent gossip or past scandals. Reading in order lets those references land as clever callbacks rather than confusing name-drops.

After reading so many of these, they blend together. I couldn’t tell you the exact order anymore. I just remember the characters I loved. The brooding duke from ‘The Seducer’, the witty banter in ‘The Charmer’. The list of books in order is less important than the list of favorite moments in your heart, you know?

Honestly, I find the 'series order' question a bit overblown for her work. They’re gentle Regency romances, not a fantasy epic with a overarching villain. The connections are warm and fuzzy—seeing a beloved character from three books ago show up as a supportive friend. If you’re a completionist, go by publication date on her website. If you’re a mood reader, pick whichever premise grabs you. You won’t be lost, just mildly unaware of why some secondary characters exchange knowing smiles.

I think the confusion stems from some of her early books being reissued with new covers and sometimes even slightly tweaked titles. So a list might show the reissue date, not the original. That's why a source that uses library data, like WorldCat, is more reliable for true first publication.

I appreciate authors who don't lock readers into a massive series. It feels respectful of our time and wallets. We can enjoy a complete story in one volume. Moran's historicals respect that model, and I wish more authors would do the same.
