Way too many faves to have just one

My favorite new series is Reckless Beat (by Eden Summers), I just read book 1 last night, Blind Attraction, it came out in 2013, but it is new to me 🙂
Linda Moffitt
I don’t think it’s new for 2015 it might be, but my favorite this year is Jennifer Fayes Whistle Stop Series
Janie McGaugh
I’ve only started two new series – both very good – that premiered in 2015. Of the two, my favorite is Dianne Duvall’s Gifted Ones series. Dianne writes great, believable characters.
Kathy Church
Have lots of great series to choose from but I really like the Whistle Stop.
rachbrown2015
Prophecy of Love series by Kelsey Browning. This series is set in the small town of Prophecy, TX. The town is known for their Prophecy bootmaker, the only person who can design custom cowboy boots with the power to change a person’s destiny. I loved the first book in the series, A Love to Last, and look forward to the next book.
Trudy
I like the Pucked Series by Helena Hunting. Hockey, romance, and humor make for awesome.
EvelynS
Lauren Layne’s Oxford series. Her characters have great dialogue!! And I love her heroes!!
clickclickmycat
I don’t believe I had one this year. I had so much extra work to do, that my reading was very limited. Most of the work is behind me now.
Lori P
I don’t think I’ve started a new series, yet! Of course there are many on my TBR list so I better get started. One that I’m looking forward to is Cedar Ridge series by Jill Shalvis.
Kimberlyindy
Melissa Cutler’s Bomb Squad series was a great one this year.
Jenny Dauksa Schaber
Darkness series by Cassia Brightmore – It’s so different and really kept me on my toes. The writing was fabulous and the twists were not expected.
Heather Lasala
I don’t think I’ve started a new series in 2015 since I have so many older series that I’m invested in.
Jessica Chappell
My favorite new series of 2015 is American Mail Order Bride Series. Thanks!
laurieg72l
Fiona’s Lowe is anew author for me in 2015 . I loved her WEDDING FEVER series with Runaway Groom, Picture Perfect Wedding, Saved by the Bride an d Boomerang Bride and=Regular people who struggle threw whatever life throws at them The adage life isn’t fair is showcased, but some how these people struggle and pull themselves up and make sunshine out of rain. The books made me laugh and smile! Plus, they were set in my home state of Wisconsin which made them more personal to me. They even mentioned my hometown of 12,000 people.
Debra Guyette
My favorite series for this year has been BJ Daniels’ The Montana Hamiltons. I am really intrigued by the underlying plot.
vivian carter
Too many to decide which one I like best.
Marianne W
New to me series was Goddess with a Blade by Lauren Dane. Great reads!
janinecatmom
Most of the series I read aren’t really new. But they have had new books this year. So, I don’t think they could count as a new series.
Susan T.
I don’t think I started a new series. Thanks for the chance.

Loved Shannyn Schroeder’s Hot and Nerdy series. Fun, upbeat and quirky.
lraines78
Marie Force’s Green Mountain series. I love the family and who couldn’t love Fred!
Tammy H
Lauren Layne’s Oxford series and Cecy Robson’s new series
conniefischer
I read “The Bourbon Kings” by J.R. Ward and found it fascinating and reminiscent of the TV series “Dallas.” I cannot wait for the next book in the series, “The Angel’s Share” which publishes in July 2016. I have heard rumors that this may be made into a movie or TV series. Really good book!
Debbi Wellenstein
I’ve been reading Marie Force’s Fatal Series-but it’s not new!
tinamcclay
I haven’t had the chance to read any new series, between school, work, and kids, not a whole lot of time to read.
Laura Lovejoy Brunk
The ending of The White Years, the early years of The Siren series by Tiffany Reisz was amazing. The start of new series, The Bouban Kings by Jr Ward was awesome too.
linda romer (@romer_linda)
The Sparked Series by Sheena Snow ♡ just read abd reviewed book 1 and loved it. Looking forward to book 2. Thank you
Leanna
The Hunted and Montana Men series by Jennifer Ryan. I love the characters and the stories. The women in her books are so strong but they need some help from someone at the moment. I just discovered Jennifer Ryan a couple of months ago after I read the first book I bought all her books.
Kim
I love the Cedar Ridge series by Jill Shalvis! It’s fun, entertaining, and has great characters.
Jean Torgeson White
The Sapphire Falls series started being published in 2014, but I didn’t find her books until 2015. I have read the entire series up to now and can’t wait to see what happens next. I grew up in a small farming community, so we partied by the river in the summer instead of a lake, but the rest is pretty similar.
Texas Book Lover
My favorite new series isn’t a new series but is new to me. It is the Kate Daniels series that I finally read this year.
amartinez87
Kingdom from Ashes series! I loved the emotion, the characters and the story!
conniepsaunders
Certainly not a new series but one that continues to entertain with its new additions: Fools Gold by Susan Mallery.
kermitsgirl
I really enjoyed the Matchmaking Babies series by Jo Ann Brown. The overarching mystery was engaging (and the little hints made sense upon completion of the series in December), and each story line was distinct, even though it dealt with the same group of children.
Joelle BB
Haven’t picked one yet… There’s so many amazing ones to pick from…
lorih824
I have enjoyed Marie Force’s Fatal series because she’s a new author and what I’ve read so far is cool.
katielowden
Some sort of Happy/ SSO Crazy-?Melanie Harlow!!
Ann Waters
The Covington Cove series by Kelly Moran is really good, but there were so many great books in 2015
Christine Blood
Kylie Scott’s Stage Dive series
Gabrielle K
I loved the Bourbon Kings by J.R. Ward and The Mercenaries by Stylo Fantome. Both series were so good!
Pennie
Looking back through the many books I have read there are many series and wow! to pick one or even 2 is a chore. Roxie St. Claire’s Barefoot with the Bad Boy series where she has brought Gabe Rossi to Barefoot Bay is fantastic, Lauren Layne’s Oxford series is good, Cecy Robson’s O’Brien Family has started out promising along with a series that has it’s first release in January, Kathy Clark’s Austin Heroes (the first was really good).
Rita Wray
I just started the Cedar Ridge Series. I love Jill’s books because she makes the characters so interesting.
swbookworm
The “Hack series by Tracey Garvis Graves. Her first book in this series, Heart-Shaped Hack is a yummy mixture of humor, sexy and intrigue. Her next is White-Hot Hack in 2016. Heart-Shaped Hack can be read as a standalone. However, White-Hot Hack is a continuation of their story.
Sue G.
I really liked Vindicate by Beth Yarnall which is book 1 in a new series. Never read this author before but the story really kept me interested.
Marsha
I DON’T THANK I CAN PICK JUST ONE.I LIKE THEM ALL!
empressdj
Freya Barker’s Cedar Tree – <3 every book, also love SJ McCoy's Summer Lake series – sweet and steamy
vadensmommy1
Tempted by the Bear Part 1to part 9 by V.Vaughn. I normally not a gif part series person but holy cow thus was so good. Everytime I thought I had it figured out what would happen next BAM it changes. This series was off the chain great . It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time.
Thanks for the chance
HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM MY FAMILY TO YOURS

I have several authors I follow, anything new from them is a favorite. Susan Mallery, Robin Carr, Linda Lael Miller and Vicki Lewis Thompson, just to name a few. It could be a an established series or the start of a new one, I know I’ll get a good story and a feel good ending. 🙂
V
Eve Langlais’ Bitten Point series!
Marcy Meyer
I think there are so many good new series. Laura Kaye’s Raven Riders series is really good so far, and there is only one book out. Helena Hunting’s Pucked series is great. I love the hockey, the laughs and heat in that series.

New to me is the Blade series by Lauren Dane. Lots of action and interesting characters.

My favorite new series this year was the Sentinels of New Orleans series by Suzanne Johnson. This is a fascinating urban fantasy series with great characters.
Vicki
It would be the Montana Hamiltons by B J Daniels. I love all her books. Each book is suspenseful and keeps you going.
Meredith Miller
I found quite a few new series. I completed the entire Charley Davidson series. I found Clive Cussler’s books–all of which so far have been great. Finished all of Jeaniene Frost’s Cat and Bones series and some of her other spin offs.
Diane Sallans
I read Mariah Stewart’s Chesapeake Diaries series after I got the latest (Chesapeake Summer). I went back and read the earlier books – I love small town series. And I made a recipe from one of the books (Roasted Chickpeas) on Christmas Eve – Yum!

I’m LOVING the Game On series by Kristen Callihan (The Hook-up, The Friend Zone, & The Game Plan). Centered on a championship-winning college football team and their subsequent NFL careers. Great reads!
Natasha Persaud
I’ll have to say Priest and Midnight Mass series is my favorite for 2015
belindaegreen
What is your favorite new series of 2015? Tell us what makes this series so special.
I just finished a series by Esther Banks called The Billionaire Cowboy Romance. There were 3 books in the series but can be read as standalones, if desired. I preferred reading them at the same time.
Kate and Bruce were as opposite as you could get. She was a stylist; he was a tech billionaire turned cowboy. They met when he needed her help to dress well for a business gala. This was almost an instant attraction but Kate fought it all the way because she was trying to build her business. He hung in there with her until she realized that you needed to achieve balance in your personal and business life. I loved their journey to solidifying their relationship. Wonderful story! IMO, well worth your time.

I really haven’t had a lot of reading time this year, but hoping to get better organized so that I can read much more in 2016. And I’ve seen quite a few good series I’d like to read this coming year thanks to a few great sites like this one! Thank you!
