Tammy Andresen Books in Order: Regency Romance
If you like your Regency romance quick, swoony, and stacked deep enough to binge for weeks, Tammy Andresen is your author. A USA Today bestseller, she writes fast, addictive love stories full of dukes, rakes and wallflowers — the kind you finish in an evening and immediately reach for the next. Her catalog is enormous, so here is how the main series line up and where to start.
Every Andresen novel is a complete standalone romance, which is exactly why readers love her: you can pick up any book and get a full happily-ever-after. But her titles are organised into big, connected series with recurring characters, and reading a series in order rewards you with familiar faces. Below are her two flagship Regency series, then a where-to-start guide.
The Lords of Scandal series in order
Lords of Scandal is Andresen's signature Regency series — more than twenty short, spicy-sweet novels, each named for a titled hero. It kicks off with a short prequel simply called Lords of Scandal, then rolls through the following opening titles:
- Duke of Daring — the first full novel and a great place to meet the world.
- Marquess of Malice — a brooding hero with a grudge to settle.
- Earl of Exile — a return from disgrace and the woman who complicates it.
- Viscount of Vice — a charming scoundrel meets his match.
- Baron of Bad — a reformed-reputation romance.
- Earl of Sin — the series keeps its momentum.
From there the series continues with Earl of Gold, Duke of Decadence, Marquess of Menace, Duke of Dishonor, Duke of Chance and many more, eventually running past twenty books. Because each is a standalone, you can read the whole set or just cherry-pick the heroes who catch your eye.

- Taming a Laird's Wild Lady (2017) — the series heads to Scotland.

Her other series
Andresen is remarkably prolific and writes across several worlds, including the American Historical Romance books and additional Regency mini-series and holiday collections. Once you have found her voice, there is a deep backlist waiting.
Where to start
For most readers, the easiest on-ramp is Duke of Daring, the first full Lords of Scandal novel — short, fun, and instantly bingeable. If you would rather start with her earlier work, pick up Taming a Duke's Reckless Heart. Either way, clear your evening: with Tammy Andresen, one book is never quite enough.
