I bought all of this separate and I wish I had the luck to have the bundle. I have re-read several over time and still enjoy almost all of this light and witty stories.Normally romance novel have all kind of heroines but the heroes are more or less the same. Here the gallery of Heroes include virgins and rakes, old and young, insecure of their manhood and overconfident, but all of them sweet and very human. Naked to the soul in front of the women of their live.The other refreshing part is that the villains are real enough that we may be happy if they also find love and redemption.Although all the books may stand alone, the good thing of reading them in order is that you revisit the lives of your favorite characters again or see the same events from a different perspective.Reading order I suggest:duke, baron, marquis, earl, viscount, gentleman, king.(apparently this is not the order in this bundle) and there is also the short story "naked laird" (which I loved)on the anthologyLords of Desirewhich happens at a house party featured at The Baron  and  "The naked prince", which I haven't read.From the authors web page:1816--The Naked Duke, The Naked Baron, and "The Naked Laird" (in Lords of Desire), roughly concurrently--the Laird takes place during the Baron1816, a few months later--The Naked Marquis**1819--The Naked Earl and The Naked Viscount, roughly concurrently1820--The Naked Gentleman1821, February--"The Naked Prince" (in An Invitation to Sin)1821, a few months later--The Naked King**the author states the Marquis happens after The earl, but at The earl it is mentioned that the Marquis is already married.
