Dragon Security Volume 2 managed to retread the formula by adding twists and turns to the formula, where the first 5 novels actually set up the background for the sixth where all of the topics are tied together into one grand finale. And each novel has their own twists and turns.
Security stories also have plenty of forced proximity, conducive to romance, and the high concepts here are definitely interesting, as they include being framed for murder, UFO investigations, falling for the boss (while he's pining for someone else), and more. While the characters are established, many of them are new, and some of them have profound shifts from Volume 1. Peter (from Volume 1) is back and leading the first novel. Rhett is new but her client... was a return from Volume 1 as well. Kevin was mentioned before, but this time he went back to his hometown, and found his girl framed for murder. Kasey's new as well, and he's going to look for someone who's seeking... UFOs? Amelia is replacing Samantha from Volume 1 (you'll need to read Volume 1 to know what happened to her) and fell for Hayden as well, but Hayden still has his heart pining for Sam... Until Hayden and the rest of Dragon security figure out someone is out to get Hayden by toying with Dragon's cases...
In a way, all the linked novels make the reading fun, even if it's a bit formulaic.
