About the Loveless, Texas series
Loveless, Texas is Jay Crownover's contemporary small-town romance series set in a fictional Texas town whose name belies the string of matches its residents find there. Unbroken and Justified, both published in 2019, open the series, followed by Unforgiven and Blacklisted, both released in 2020, each following a different Loveless resident navigating a rough past toward an unlikely romance.
The series continues Crownover's move toward contemporary small-town settings after Getaway, trading the mountain-resort backdrop for small-town Texas grit while keeping her characteristic mix of banter, found family and emotionally heavy backstory.
