Im wondering if there are any good recommendations for a collection of portriats, hopefully by different photographers and with commentaries, that would be good for my 18yr son who is getting into photography.
(For those who have already read the different series and want to re-read them in order of events, or those who don't mind swapping between storylines, and don't want to miss an important crossover. My OCD brain took over, and I thought I'd share)
NOTES:
1.Contains the complete published works (As of Sep 2026) from: Camassia Cove / Auctioned / The Game / Irish of Philly / The Renegades / Hillcroft Group, w website exclusives and standalones that crossover. Also includes the monthly subscription Outtakes broken up by each section (approx 2-5pg each).
Structure: -Series, # in series / Title (Featured Characters, *Crossover Appearance) [Official Timeline] OR <Approximate for reference>
There are some characters from the same family that crossover heavily between series or feature several characters from the same family. I included their maiden last name when applicable. Those families are: Hayes (Camassia Cove), Quinn and Nolan (Auctioned, Camassia Cove), Finlay (The Game), O'Shea (Irish of Philly), Winters (Hillcroft). Also added where the first name is a duplicate.
It's probably not perfect, but you won't miss anything in this order. I tried to strike a good balance between breaking up the different series and breaking up a good storyline. It's pretty easy considering most of her books stand out on their own.
If I was a new reader, the only thing I might do differently from this list is skip the first The Game/Mclean Tales/Hillcroft titles, read Camassia Cove, the standalones and duets up to the end of Finished (Auctioned series), then come back and read the skipped ones, meeting back for the last Auctioned book where it flows better after that.
