The Bachelor Chronicles is Elizabeth Boyle’s signature series, running nine books from Something About Emmaline in 2005 through Mad About the Major in 2015. The premise is simple and effective: London’s most sought-after bachelors, men who have no intention of settling down, keep meeting women who change their minds entirely. Each book follows a new couple, but the series has a strong ensemble feel, with characters weaving in and out of each other’s stories across the full run.
Boyle’s strength in this series is her dialogue. The banter between her leads is quick and funny, and she has a knack for creating heroines who are more than a match for the confident, sometimes arrogant men they fall for. The Bachelor Chronicles earned Boyle her New York Times bestseller status and remains the series most readers associate with her name. If you are picking up an Elizabeth Boyle book for the first time, this is the place to start.
