The Elite of Series of 2022

by | Dec 27, 2022 | End of Year Survey | 2 comments

Welcome to the next segment of the Elite Romance series of 2022.  This post is where I am going to list my TOP reads of the year, which wasn’t easy to narrow down. I have had a decent reading year and I am thrilled to be able to share all the delicious reads that I have here.

Today we will be discussing the BEST new series picked up this year. These books will be including books part of a new series that I was able to grab up or best sequels that I was able to grab up. This is a bit longer, I read SO many good series that I just had to share my thoughts on! So tell me did you love any of these? What series do you think I should pick up in 2023? Let me know in the comments below!

This is part of the Never After series by Emily McIntire. I LOVE these books. If you adore authors tackling unique fairy tales in a edgier darker themes, you definitely need to try these and the covers are GORGEOUS!

This is a trilogy that was new to me but is being republished with new covers by the author. (she is doing this with lots of her backlisted books) This trilogy was superb in every way. My favorites from this author so far! If you are a fan of this author, you definitely need to check them out

I only read this book, but I do want to finish the trilogy. Its one of the few love triangle set ups I actually want to read plus its Pam Godwin and she can write just about anything I am convinced. This love triangle was so captivating, I am pretty sure I know who she will end up with but I am curious about their journey.

I ADORED this book, this series got me back into reading this author again after not reading her for a long while. I absolutely couldn’t get enough of this book and am eager for the rest of the books.

I am not sure why I only read one of this author’s books here. I LOVED this book. It was super engaging, like I read it less than 2 hours because I couldn’t put it down and it was so action packed.

This is part of a brand new romantic thriller series by this author. So it does have less romance than this author normally writes. But I am loving it, because one there is good steam, an alpha hero and a sassy heroine and a great thriller to match.

This is part of a new series that I started reading from this author and have really enjoyed it. I am eager to get to know more of this family that is featured in this series!

This is a trilogy that this author published this year and it was so AMAZING! If you love romantic suspense and OG style of contemporary, this is an author you definitely need to check out. This couple was stunning.

The Mafia Wars series I BINGED completely this summer, I read all 10 books in like 2 months haha I couldn’t get enough of these and I really liked how there are so many types of tropes for mafia. And you will really love this mafia friendships and family if you are a mafia fan.

I read all of these books this year and I am SO happy that I did. Meghan Quinn was such a treasure to discover and this series is my favorite so far. It just had everything a small town lover like moi could indulge in and enjoy fully!

I am not sure WHY it took me so long to read this trilogy, but I read the first two books and I absolutely adored these books. They were so MUCH more than i expected in a military romance and I can’t wait to pick up the finale but I know that one is going to be a tide of emotion.

This is a series or a duo series that I absolutely adored. If you love BDSM, you definitely need to pick up these books. Book 3 just got released. I just love the way that this author writes BDSM. I loved this one though, it had such a rich variety of emotion that I couldn’t seem to get enough of.

I read 2 books of this trilogy and I can’t wait for book 3 either. I am honestly so in love with these books. They are such gritty contemporary that is delightful in every way.

I started reading this series this year and its AMAZING! I can’t tell you all how much I am loving these books. These have classic KA style, are gothic feeling and just perfect for atmospheric feeling reads.

I read throughout this whole series and adored every book except for the last book. These books were so wonderful, so I highly recommend them if you love mafia romance. Its a set up of five friends who are leaders in all the different mafia’s and help each other when their enemies cross them and threaten their families.

I binged this WHOLE series and man KA Tucker is so addictive. I can’t get enough of her writing. I can’t tell you how much I am loving her stuff here.

A friend on Bookstagram recommended this trilogy as I was looking for the type of fantasy like what Wilson and Vaughan write, and man these books were JUST PERFECT! If you love EPIC Fantasy, I can’t recommend them enough.

This series just left me SPEECHLESS. I don’t even know if I have words for how much these books impacted me. Sierra Simone definitely wrote such a provcative gothic filled series that I couldn’t get enough of.

I binged through this whole series and the holiday novellas. These books were so so GOOD! I absolutely adored them in every way.

This series is the reason I have fallen for Amish romance. I am loving how traditional it feels and the strong roles of femininity that is portrayed.

This book is the reason I am on a Rina Kent ride right now. They just got me addicted to her writing and I have been trying for a while. They are DARK though, and the heroes are practically psychopaths but they are like romance crack haha

I read this whole series this year and really I binged it in a month and it was so different and unique. If you love UF than you definitely should give these a try.

    That Forever Girl was a standout for me as well. My emotions! I am trash for second chance romance, and this one had additional emotional aspects that just made it amazing for me

    You read some good series this year. I loved Quinn’s, Crownover’s, Cleeton’s, and Tucker’s when I read them.
