Dutton Sisters Books in Order

The Dutton Sisters books are classic contemporary romances built around two sisters who each get a very different path to love. The series is short, just two books, which makes it a nice place to start if you want a quick sample of Niobia Bryant's earlier romance style.

In Can't Get Next to You, Gabrielle 'Gabby' Dutton is stuck in one of romance's best setups, she is in love with the boss who barely sees her. That gives the story a warm, yearning feel, with office tension, jealousy, and the risky choice to stop being invisible. Count on This turns in a lighter, wilder direction when April Dutton heads to Las Vegas and ends up married after a whirlwind weekend. What follows is less about the wedding and more about whether a rash decision can become a real partnership.

Same family, different chaos.

What ties the books together is Bryant's interest in capable women who want more than surface glamour. Both stories use strong attraction and high emotion, but neither heroine is simply waiting to be chosen. Each woman has to decide what she is willing to risk, pride, independence, and the life she planned, in order to make room for love.

Because the series is compact, the relationships move quickly and the conflicts stay direct. If you like romance that is polished, emotional, and easy to read in a weekend, the Dutton sisters are a good bet.
