Montague Siblings Books in Order

The Montague Siblings books are historical adventures with a big heart and a lot of motion. They follow three siblings, Monty, Felicity, and later Adrian, across eighteenth-century Europe and beyond. The through line is not one single mystery, but a family full of damage, secrets, wit, and stubborn people trying to build lives that make sense for them.

The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue opens the series with Monty, a reckless young lord who is supposed to be polishing himself into a proper heir on his Grand Tour of Europe. Instead, he makes one disastrous choice and turns the trip into a chase across the continent. The book has romance, highwaymen, political trouble, and just enough strange relic energy to sharpen the adventure.

The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy hands the lead to Felicity, Monty's brilliant sister. Felicity wants to study medicine in a world that would much rather see her become agreeable, marriageable, and quiet. Her book shifts the emotional center of the series. It is still full of travel, danger, and secrets, but it is also about ambition, friendship, and what it costs to keep insisting on a future no one wants to grant you.

The Gentleman’s Guide to Getting Lucky is a lighter novella, but it lets Monty and Percy be awkward, tender, and very human together. Then The Nobleman's Guide to Scandal and Shipwrecks opens the story out through Adrian, the younger sibling Monty and Felicity did not grow up with. His search after his mother's death pulls the family back together for one more round of travel, danger, and emotional repair.

Setting is a huge part of the appeal. These books move through grand houses, cities, back roads, clinics, courts, ports, and open water, and Lee uses that movement well. History never sits in the background like wallpaper. Class rules, race, gender, inheritance, illness, reputation, and empire all shape what the characters can do, and what risks they have to take to do it.

The tone is witty and warm, even when the stakes get serious. There is real pain in this family, and the books do not pretend otherwise, but they are never joyless. They are interested in queer love, found family, reinvention, and the idea that the past was never populated only by neat, well-behaved people who fit the rules.

That balance is what keeps readers in the series. You get kissing and bickering, pirate courts and medical dreams, relics and ruined parents, plus siblings who can drive each other crazy and still cross oceans when it counts.
