Don’t you hate picking up a book only to discover it’s #156,842 in a series? Yeah, I don’t like it either.

I realized in the past romance releases I had titles without adding which series they come from and their book number.

I’m sure you figured out which book is which if you’ve clicked on any of the links, but who wants to take that extra step? You want to know now!

In this steamy romance release post, I had the decency to enter titles along with the series and book number (yay)! Now you know which books to begin and catch up with any familiar series.

Here are the steamy romance releases of May 2019. May this month be a wonderful reading month.
