  • Three brothers, three books, one renovated inn, and Roberts writes them so each romance closes inside its own volume — you can read The Last Boyfriend first and follow everything.
  • What runs across all three is the ghost in the inn, whose story is only resolved in The Perfect Hope, so publication order is still the better order.
  • It is the order below, and it is short: the whole trilogy came out inside eighteen months.

How this plan is calculated

The plan comes from the pages and ratings of each volume: we split the series into stages of about three weeks’ reading, size each break to the stage before it, and read the chance of finishing from how many readers rate the last volume compared with the first. How we work out the plan →
