Elizabeth Lowell’s Donovans series follows members of the Donovan family, each with expertise in different precious materials, as they get pulled into dangerous situations that mix romance with high-stakes adventure. The series launched with Amber Beach in 1997 and ran through five novels by 2000, then returned nearly two decades later with Outpost (2018) and continued through Reckoning (2022).
Each book features a different Donovan family member and can be read as a standalone romance, though recurring characters and family dynamics reward readers who follow the full series. The gem and mineral settings — amber, jade, pearls, rubies — provide distinctive backdrops that set the Donovans apart from standard romantic suspense.
