Where to Start Reading the 100 Series
If you are new to Lara Adrian's contemporary erotic romances, the best place to start is at the very beginning with For 100 Days. The core narrative of the series is a continuous trilogy focusing on struggling artist Avery Ross and billionaire Dominic "Nick" Baine. Because the plot of the first three books builds directly upon the previous installments and contains ongoing mysteries, secrets, and cliffhangers, they must be read in order.
The Complete 100 Series Reading Order
Here is the recommended reading path for the series, which aligns with the publication order:
- For 100 Days (2016) — Follows Avery and Dominic's intense initial connection in New York City.
- For 100 Nights (2017) — Delves deeper into their relationship following a major betrayal.
- For 100 Reasons (2017) — Resolves the main trilogy's plot as the couple confronts their pasts.
- Run to You (2019) — A standalone bodyguard romance set in the same universe.
- Play My Game (2020) — An enemies-to-lovers standalone romance focusing on a devil's bargain.
- For 100 Forevers (2026) — A direct sequel to the original trilogy that catches up with Dominic and Avery for their wedding and future.
Understanding the Standalones and Spin-Offs
While Run to You and Play My Game are officially numbered as books 4 and 5 in the series, they do not continue Avery and Dominic's story. Instead, they are standalone romances featuring new couples: bodyguard Gabriel Noble and Evelyn Beckham in Run to You, and brooding artist Jared Rush and Melanie in Play My Game. You can read these two books independently of the main trilogy, though reading them in order lets you enjoy the cameos and references to previous characters.
