What is the reading order of your books?

Lorhainne Eckhart // September 27 // 0 Comments

This is the number one question I am asked by fans. With over 133 titles now available for purchase and several series many fans prefer to read my books in order.  Although I write series, and to be clear I love writing series, and reading series, but at the same time each book in my series can be read as a stand alone. But for more reading enjoyment many prefer to read in series order, as a family grows, as the characters evolve, as they fall in love and overcome many of the challenges tossed their way.

Contemporary Romance

The Saved Series

THE SAVED SERIES is a hot military suspense with a love story set in a military setting. Saved is the very first book I wrote!  It wasn’t originally titled Saved, but was my step into the world of publishing. After receiving the rights back from my publisher in 2013, I rewrote SAVED and changed the content back to the original intent  of the story. This is a dark theme. A dark subject.

“This was a hard book to put down! A tough captain of a war ship finds a pregnant young girl in a dinghy alone in the ocean!” – Audrey

“The story that unfolds after Abby is rescued is a story of love and how it can change even the toughest man.” From Crazy fast reader

The Saved Series

Their love becomes a lifeline, but survival is only the beginning. Trauma, disappearance, deployment, and a dangerous rescue mission test their marriage and family in this emotional military romantic suspense trilogy about healing, sacrifice, and the fierce power of love.
