Lauren Royal Books in Order: The Chase Family Explained
Lauren Royal's Chase Family saga is one of historical romance's most charming multi-generational worlds — jewels, flowers, and a Regency finale, all following the same warm, tight-knit family across the centuries. If you have met the Chases once, you will want the rest in order, so here is exactly how the trilogies fit together.
Lauren Royal built her career around the Chase family, a lively clan whose romances unfold across several eras. The saga is usually read as three trilogies, each set in a different generation: the Jewel Trilogy in the Restoration, the Flower Trilogy a few years on, and the Regency Chase novels roughly a century later. Every book stands alone, but the family threads connect them all. Here is the order.
The Jewel Trilogy in order
Where the Chase saga begins, in the vivid world of Restoration England. Each book is named for a gemstone and follows a different Chase sibling or cousin.
- Amethyst — Colin and Amy, a jeweller's daughter and a nobleman with secrets. The romance that opens the family story.
- Emerald — Jason and Caithren, a case of mistaken identity that becomes a road-trip romance.
- Amber — Trick and Kendra, a highwayman-flavoured adventure with plenty of heart.
The Flower Trilogy in order
The next generation of Chases, each book named for a bloom. Warm, witty, and full of the family's signature banter.
- Violet — Ford and Violet, a scientist heroine and the man who cannot stop thinking about her.
- Lily — Rand and Lily, a scholarly hero and a heroine determined to have him.
- Rose — Kit and Rose, an architect and the girl next door in a slow-building romance.

The Regency Chase novels in order
The saga leaps forward to the Regency era for a final trilogy of temptation-themed romances — the most classic ballroom-and-bonnets corner of the Chase world.
- Lost in Temptation — Tristan and Alexandra, a protective older brother's rules and the man determined to break them.
- Tempting Juliana — James and Juliana, a matchmaking heroine who keeps overlooking her own perfect match.
- The Art of Temptation — Sean and Corinna, an artist heroine and the romance that closes out the family's Regency chapter.
Royal has also written connected Chase Family novellas and holiday stories over the years, so once you have finished the main trilogies there are extra visits with the family to enjoy.
Where to start
If you found this page because you love a Regency, jump straight to Lost in Temptation — the Regency Chase trilogy is the most familiar setting for Bridgerton and Julia Quinn fans, and it stands perfectly well on its own. If you would rather watch the family grow from its roots, begin with Amethyst and read the trilogies in generational order: Jewels, then Flowers, then Regency. Either path leads you into the same big-hearted, banter-filled family.
