10 main titles. Five spin-offs. Two novellas. Thousands of pages. Millions of words. This December marks ten years since the Dartmoor Series kicked off with a bang back in 2014. After a decade of twists, turns, kisses, shootouts, chase scenes, and tense kitchen table conversations, the series is finally complete. Everyone who knows me in real life would be shocked if they read these books. Everyone who knows me through the books is hopefully happy where things ended up at the end of Lord Have Mercy.
It's a series for anyone who likes:
- family dramas where the families take care of their own (Ghost struggles, but he gets there in the end)
- high-stakes action and mystery
- loveable ensemble casts full of outlaws
- rough and tumble men who are good to their women
- realistic dialogue and family dynamics
- morally gray characters who grow and develop over the course of a series
- ongoing plot lines mingled with happily every afters
- big, chunky books that read like old fashioned Southern epics
- shows like Sons of Anarchy and Yellowstone
The chronological reading order of all 17 volumes is:
- Fearless
- Price of Angels
- Half My Blood
- The Skeleton King
- Snow In Texas
- Secondhand Smoke
- Tastes Like Candy
- Loverboy
- American Hellhound
- Shaman
- Prodigal Son
- Lone Star
- Homecoming
- Long Way Down
- The Wild Charge
- Nothing More
- Lord Have Mercy
My mottos is "never say never." I'm marking the series as complete for now, and leaving it on a high note, but the door's always open for adding to it if interest in Lord Have Mercy picks up at some point. It would be folly to write books based on book ten when it hasn't been the best seller of the bunch, so, for now, we'll rest easy after our latest trip to the swamp.
If you're expecting a little quiet time this Christmas season and are looking to get totally immersed in a thrilling fictional word, may I humbly suggest a biker series like no other.
Thanks, y'all, for ten wild years of Lean Dogs 💝
What is this madness you speak of? Not a best seller yet? 😳🤔 How is THAT possible? All in good time I guess. They just have to see the error of their ways!! I fell in love with Mercy & Ava 10yrs ago and loved this whole journey we traveled with these wonderful, and some not so wonderful characters. I am glad Big Son even got his time in the spotlight. Maybe someday we will get a new addition to this series and I already know I will love every word. Thank you Lauren for creating such a wonderful array of characters and weaving such beautiful words that you actually feel you are a part of the story. Thanks again!! #WordWeaver #MercyMe #BigSon 🐊 ❤️
