Samantha Grace Books in Order: The Complete Reading Guide
Samantha Grace writes exactly the kind of Regency romance that BookTok keeps asking for: flirtatious bachelors, sharp heroines, and a beau monde full of gossip, wagers, and courtships that go delightfully off-script. Her interconnected Beau Monde Bachelors series is the place to start, and because the cast overlaps from book to book, order matters more than usual. Here is the full lineup, in sequence.
Grace's Regency world is built around one glittering social circle, so a hero from one book turns up as a best friend or exasperating brother in the next. Each novel still stands alone, complete couple, complete happy ending, but read in order and you get the fun of watching the whole set pair off. The series has been repackaged over the years as Beau Monde Bachelors: Scandals and Rogues, and the author's current numbering is the sequence we follow below.
The Beau Monde Bachelors series in order
- Miss Hillary Schools a Scoundrel — The book that opens the series: a spirited heroine, a practised rogue, and a courtship built on the pair refusing to admit how well matched they are.
- Lady Audley's Forever Affair — A widow with a guarded heart and the man determined to prove that love is worth the risk a second time.
- Miss Lavigne's Little White Lie — One small fib spirals into a full-blown ruse, with attraction complicating every attempt to keep the story straight.
- Lady Vivian Defies a Duke — A headstrong lady, a duty-bound duke, and a battle of wills that neither of them really wants to win.
- Lady Gabby Gets the Earl — A determined heroine sets her sights on the wrong (or is he the right?) earl, with charming results.
- Lady Prestwick's Deal with a Devil — A bargain struck for practical reasons that keeps tipping into something far more dangerous to the heart.
- The Rogue Who Scorned Miss Thorne — A second-chance clash between a rogue and the woman he once dismissed, now impossible to ignore.
- Miss Edith's Mistletoe Miracle — A cosy Christmas-set finale that gives the series one last happy ending under the mistletoe.
Because several titles were revised and re-released, you may see slightly different numbering on older retailer pages. When in doubt, follow the "Beau Monde Bachelors: Scandals and Rogues" book numbers on the current editions, which is the order above.

More from Samantha Grace
Beyond the Beau Monde Bachelors, Grace has written additional Regency-set stories and novellas that share her signature blend of wit and warmth. Her catalogue moves within the same era and mood — matchmaking mamas, house-party scandals, and heroes who meet their match, so if you fall for one book, the rest of her list is easy to binge. New readers rarely need any of the extras to enjoy the main series, so treat them as bonus reading once you have worked through the eight core novels above.
Where to start
Start with Miss Hillary Schools a Scoundrel. It introduces the tone of the whole series, sparkling banter, a hero who thinks he is in control, and a heroine who happily proves otherwise, and it sets up the friendships that carry through the later books. From there, read straight down the list in order to get the full run of cameos and reappearing characters. Grace's writing is flirtatious and sweetly steamy but stays firmly mainstream, which makes her an easy recommendation if you love the Bridgerton flavour of Regency romance.
