Ranking, Main Characters & Love Interests

 * -|Top Tier=

Random Notes:

 * The Heist: Monaco, Distant Shores and Nightbound deserved better.
 * Despite the ranking, the only books I truly disliked are the ones in the bottom tier.
 * Bloodbound would've been a Top Tier book had it not been genderlocked.
 * I feel bad for ranking The Haunting of Braidwood Manor this low because it does have a very solid and engaging story. It's really short though, making it hard to do a fair comparison between it and the rest of the longer, more developed series.
 * Half of the issues of The Royal Romance could've been avoided if they had implemented polyamory.
 * I lost all interest in Wishful Thinking after MC lost her powers, but unlike those, it never returned.
 * The Freshman < The Senior < The Sophomore < The Junior.
 * Baby Bump might be the worst book in here by far, but Distant Shores is definitely the most disappointing. So many questions were left unanswered, so many plotlines were left hanging, and everything was wrapped-up with such an underwhelming finale. That bonus scene at the museum was cute though, and would've worked a lot better as the actual ending instead of that Robert fiasco.
 * On that note, Oliver had the potential to be a top-tier LI but they did him so wrong. He is introduced way too late into the story, is immediately smitten with the MC for no reason, disappears again, has close to no romantic interactions whatsoever and had by far the weakest 30-diamond scene of the three LIs. Romancing Oliver felt like romancing no one in this book, honestly.
 * I have to admit I truly enjoyed Passport to Romance, or at least its first couple of chapters. The quality did start declining with every chapter, before plummeting on the airport one and never recovering. Honestly, I still would've liked to see a sequel. Oh well...
