Not Quite a Spinster
by Rebecca Connolly
2023
On the edge of being labeled a spinster, a practical young woman tries to take control of her future instead of waiting for it. An unexpected partnership offers a path forward, but it comes with complications. The hardest part is admitting she wants more than safety.
What a Spinster Wants

A determined heroine wants independence, not a husband. The man who keeps showing up in her plans is patient, supportive, and impossible to ignore. Choosing her own future means deciding whether love belongs in it, and whether she can trust it.
Spinster Ever After
by Rebecca Connolly
2020
A cozy wrap-up that brings the Spinster Chronicles cast together for one more round of humor, heart, and long-earned joy. It ties up loose ends and celebrates the friendships that run through the series. Best enjoyed after the earlier romances.
Spinster and Spice
by Rebecca Connolly
2019
A spinster with a taste for adventure crosses paths with a man who is far too tempting to be safe. Misunderstandings and growing chemistry keep colliding. To get a happy ending, they have to risk honesty before the season, and their chances, run out.
My Fair Spinster
by Rebecca Connolly

Tired of being overlooked, a proper lady makes a bold decision to reshape how Society sees her. The man who agrees to help did not expect to be changed, too. What starts as a practical plan becomes a lesson in confidence, and love.
God Rest Ye Merry Spinster
by Rebecca Connolly

A holiday season full of expectations pulls a self-sufficient spinster into family chaos and unexpected courtship. Between festive obligations and private hopes, she has to decide what she is willing to risk for a chance at happiness. Cozy, funny, and sweet.
The Spinster and I
by Rebecca Connolly
2018
A sharp-tongued spinster and a reluctant gentleman end up tangled in a situation where reputations matter and mistakes travel fast. An uneasy partnership turns into something far more personal. The hardest part is admitting they might be exactly what the other needs.
The Merry Lives of Spinsters
by Rebecca Connolly
2018
Two women who have been written off as spinsters decide they are done waiting for life to happen. Their mischief attracts attention, and not all of it is welcome. When romance appears in the middle of their plans, they have to choose what they really want.
Series background & context
The Spinster Chronicles is a set of clean Regency romantic comedies about women who have been labeled, dismissed, or politely ignored by Society. Instead of treating “spinster” as a tragedy, these books treat it as freedom, and sometimes as a challenge the heroine is ready to meet head-on.
The series leans into humor and mischief. Heroines make plans. They pull small schemes. They refuse to accept the role assigned to them. The men who fall for them are often surprised, and then thoroughly impressed.
The titles give you the vibe: The Merry Lives of Spinsters, The Spinster and I, Spinster and Spice, My Fair Spinster, God Rest Ye Merry Spinster, What a Spinster Wants, and Spinster Ever After. Expect banter, awkward situations, and the satisfaction of watching someone claim their own story.
Expect schemes, misunderstandings, and plenty of earned happy endings.
While each book follows a different couple, there is a shared community feel. Characters reappear, friendships deepen, and earlier couples often pop up in later stories. The series finale, Spinster Ever After, works best as a capstone once you have spent time with the whole cast.
These are closed-door romances that focus on conversation, character growth, and the moment two people decide to be honest with each other. The stakes are usually more personal than dangerous: reputation, security, and the fear of being vulnerable.
On this page, you will find the Spinster Chronicles books in order, with short summaries and background on how the series fits together. If you want clean Regency romance that is funny, kind, and fast to read, this series is an easy yes.
