Chase Family is a series of historical romance novels written by Lauren Royal. The books follow the exploits of the Chase family as they try to find love in a time rife with political strife.

Chronological Order of Chase Family Series

Anyone that started following Lauren Royal in the 2010s might be surprised to read the Chase Family series. The author began publishing a series of novels titled Chase Brides in 2015.

She produced the series with her daughter, Devon Royal. People who jumped aboard the Lauren Royal train with the Chase Brides series and then made their way back to the Chase Family novels more than likely thought they were losing their minds when they read Amethyst.

Amethyst is the first novel in the Chase Family series. Released in 2000, the book tells the story of a girl called Amethyst who thought she would be forced to marry her father’s apprentice, a man she did not love; but then the London fires of 1666 happened and she met Colin Chase, Earl of Greystone, who completely changed her life.

Readers that have read The Earl’s London Bride, the first novel in the Chase Brides series will immediately notice that the two books have the same synopsis. And there’s a good reason for that.

Amethyst and The Earl’s London Bride are the exact same book. To write The Earl’s London Bride for the Chase Brides series, Lauren Royal simply took Amethyst and cleaned it.

She retooled it in a way that completely removed the sensual content, creating a novel that resembled its predecessor but which could appeal to readers who loved romance but disliked sex scenes.

Lauren then proceeded to give the rest of the Chase Family series the same treatment.

In that regard, precluding the absence of sex scenes in the Chase Brides books, the Chase Family series is basically a copy of the Chase Brides novels. The series takes readers to England and Scotland in the 17th Century.

The Chase family is a prominent clan that has lived through the Protectorate, the English Civil War, the Restoration and a litany of other chaotic but significant occurrences that swept through Europe in previous times.

The Chases have endured hardship over the generations. The books focus on the trials of a particular group of siblings. You have Jason, the oldest, who undertakes the responsibility of leading the family after their parents die.

Colin is the middle child. He has a rebellious streak, one that has driven him to despise everything his parents stood for. Then there is Kendra, the only girl of the family who must put up with her well-meaning but overbearing brothers, and her twin, Ford, the baby of the family.

Each novel in the Chase family series focuses on the adventures of a particular Chase sibling as he or she stumbles upon the love of their life and then fights tooth and nail to overcome the obstacles keeping them from achieving perfect happiness.
