Bianca Blythe Books in Order: The Complete Regency Reading Guide
Wallflowers who turn out to be the smartest people in the room, dukes undone by a single clever remark, and Christmas romances by the sleigh-load — Bianca Blythe writes witty, sweet Regency romance that reads like a warm blanket and a pot of tea. Here is how her series connect and exactly where to begin.
Does the order matter? Barely — and that is part of the fun. Every Bianca Blythe novel is a complete standalone romance with one couple and one guaranteed happy ending, so you can pick up almost any book cold. What ties them together is a recurring cast of wallflowers, matchmakers, and their long-suffering friends, who wander in and out of each other's stories. Read a series in publication order and you catch every callback; read out of order and you simply enjoy the individual love story. Below are her main Regency series and where to jump in.
Matchmaking for Wallflowers (her signature series)
This is the series most readers meet first and the heart of the Bianca Blythe world. It follows a tight-knit group of wallflowers who keep stumbling into the exact dukes and rogues they swore to avoid.
- How to Capture a Duke — the series opener, and the ideal starting point for the whole author.
- A Rogue to Avoid — a rogue who is, of course, impossible to avoid.
- Runaway Wallflower — a wallflower who takes matters (and a carriage) into her own hands.
- Mad about the Baron — a baron who turns out to be far more than his reputation.
- To Catch a Baroness — a matchmaking scheme that goes gloriously sideways.
The series has grown over time, so treat this as the launching sequence rather than the full and final count — Blythe adds to her wallflower world regularly.
Wedding Trouble
A companion Regency series with the same warm humour and clever heroines, often bundled together as a starter collection. It is a natural next stop once the wallflowers have won you over, or a fine place to begin if you would rather sample a shorter run first.

Holidays, spinsters, and standalones
Beyond her flagship series, Bianca Blythe has a soft spot for a festive Regency: her Christmas and holiday romances — think snowbound house parties, reluctant matchmakers, and dukes who claim to hate the season until they very much do not — are perfect one-sitting reads in December (or July, no judgement). She also writes spinster-led stories and connected standalones, all in the same sweet, banter-forward register. Because she publishes prolifically and reorganises collections over time, the safest way to confirm the newest additions is Blythe's own site — but every book delivers the same reliable comfort-read charm.
Where to start
Start with How to Capture a Duke. It introduces the wallflower friendship group that anchors her most popular books, and it is a quick, funny read that tells you fast whether her sweet-and-witty style is your comfort zone. If you would rather test the waters with a holiday romance, any of her Christmas standalones works beautifully as a first taste. Once you are hooked, work through Matchmaking for Wallflowers in order and let the cameos do the rest.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to read Bianca Blythe's books in order?
No. Each book is a standalone Regency romance with its own couple and ending. Within a series the books share a friendship group and recurring characters, so reading in order lets the cameos land — but any book works as a first read.
Where should I start with Bianca Blythe?
How to Capture a Duke, the first Matchmaking for Wallflowers book, is the classic starting point and shows off her witty, warm, low-angst style.
Are Bianca Blythe's romances sweet or spicy?
They sit on the sweeter, lighthearted end of Regency romance — big on banter, humour, and charm, with warmth rather than heavy heat. Ideal comfort reads.
