The Lowells of Honeywell Texas Books in Order

The Lowells of Honeywell, Texas is a ranch-country spinoff from JM Madden's Lost and Found books. The series grows out of Chad Lowell's family, introduced in Embattled Home, and heads back to Blue Star Ranch, where work, family expectations, and small-town history are never far apart.

The Lowells are a large ranch family. That means there is always something to mend, organize, celebrate, or argue about, from spring roundup to weddings to who is carrying too much responsibility. The setting matters because the ranch is both a business and a family home. It gives the books an earthy, practical rhythm.

Love has to fit around the chores.

Forget Me Not brings Chad, Lora, and Lora's daughter Mercy to Texas when Chad's father is injured. The trip reconnects them with the place where their relationship began and makes them take stock of the future they are building. The following books shift attention to other Lowells and people already tied to the ranch.

In Untying His Not, Brock Lowell has taken on extra responsibility at Blue Star Ranch after his father's heart attack. Payton Hanniford, a paramedic and longtime friend of his sister, is tired of being treated as too young or safely off-limits. Their romance is a friends-to-lovers story with plenty of ranch pressure around it.

The series keeps Madden's interest in people who have been hurt or underestimated, but its mood is more small-town and western than the investigative-service books. Readers can expect cowboys, capable women, family teasing, wedding plans, horses, and relationships tested by the practical demands of the ranch.

Start with Forget Me Not. It sets the family scene and makes the later Lowell romances feel like visits to a busy home where everyone knows everybody else's business, whether they admit it or not.
