This is a new feature I developed where each month we will look at our favorite – the best – series in a genre or topic.
The topic here, by my definition, is a romance series with diversity. Diversity might be gender, culture, or disabilities but LOVE is LOVE. I haven’t read all of these. The team had to help me find some of these.
Since I haven’t read everything, it’s a subset of the possibilities. I’m sure I am forgetting some great authors. There are also plenty of authors I have yet to read. Please share your favorites with me in the comments, also.
My favorite Diversity romance series are (in no particular order):
The Brown Sisters The Kiss Quotient Cut & Run
by Talia Hibbert by Helen Hoang by Abigail Roux, Madeline Urban
Bollywood, The Rajes Savage Destiny Runaway Royals, Loyal League
by Sonali Dev by Rosanne Bittner by Alyssa Cole

I read all types of books but my favorites are urban fantasy and romantic suspense.I like some romance and some action / adventure / mystery in everything.I like sex in my books but please, only between TWO people.Intimate conversation is equally important to the sex in a book.It lets me see the characters.The other thing I enjoy is humor.

This is a lovely feature, Anne:)). I generally don’t read romance novels, as you know, but a fantasy series with a strong romance element running through it is the Stariel series by A.J. Lancaster – I’ve read the first two and loved them – it’s a quartet and I have the third book Court of Mortals on my TBR pile… I do like the look of The Brown Sisters:). Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! There are so many choices. I just finished reading the Witchmark series from CL Polk and every book has an LBGTQ couple. There is a scifi series with pansexual couplings – Cry Pilot by Joel Dane. And a fantasy book, maybe series, Velocity of the Revolution by Ryan Marshall Marseca, also has pansexual couplings. So there are definitely options in other genres than straight romance stories.
I don’t usually read romance but I’ve always heard great things about Get a Life Chloe Brown. I love that you’re featuring diverse romance!
I am really enjoying that series. I just got the final book for audio review.
I’ve so many of these on my shelf that I haven’t started! Love the category.
There are so many more that could be here under many genres actually. It is fun doing these SoS looking at great themes.
I’ve really cut back on my romance reading the last 5 or so years. I know I’ve read many romances with diversity of some type. Besides m/m romance, I have read a couple with characters with special needs and mixed race couples. One of the books by Penny Reid”s Winston Brothers series comes to mind, one of the heroines has a mental illness or behavioral issues.
I chose these series because every book has diversity. But there are many great books in other genres and single books within a series. I am also reading less romance but most of the books I read have a romance aspect.
I loved The Kiss Quotient and The Bride Test. I’ve read other romances with diversity as well.
I enjoyed those so much. Yes there are many books which are singles within series and also standalones with diversity. I just chose ones where all in the series have diversity of some type.
Cut & Run – recommended to me by a friend
That one has been recommended to me also. Some in the series are out of print, or not available in ebook currently.
Fun picks. I’ve read and loved some and have the others on my wish list for someday. I do love seeing all the colors and flavors of love represented in stories.
Yes I tried to choose lots of different kinds of diversity. There are options in other genres and standalones but these were series that have a bunch of different options.
I really enjoyed The Kiss Quotient. It was so interesting to read a romance from a character’s perspective who was on the autism spectrum.
Yes I tried to include books with all kinds of diversity here.
I haven’t read any of these, but at least three are on my need to read list. I just finished The Wedding Date, the first in a series by Jasmine Guillory and really enjoyed it. It features an interracial couple. I had read Guillory’s Royal Holiday last year and enjoyed it as well. Great list!
Thanks Wendy. I enjoy these themes. I also enjoyed the Wedding Date. There are so many types of diversity and I tried to include many of them.
I voted for three you listed, but I also adore the Modern Love series by Alisha Rai and the Magic in Manhattan series by Allie Therin. There are a few others, but only have 1 or 2 books out so far, so I didn’t count.
There are so many great options. I just tried to get a list with many types of diversity.
