Recommended Reading Path: Where to Start

While most contemporary romance series feature standalone couples, the Bailey Brothers series has a continuous plot involving a legendary town feud and a hidden treasure mystery. It is highly recommended that you read the books in publication order. In particular, the first two books are a continuous, two-part story focusing on the same couple and cannot be read out of order.

The Essential Reading Order

  1. Protecting You (2020): Part one of Asher Bailey and Grace Miles' story. Note that this book ends on a cliffhanger.
  2. Fighting for Us (2020): Part two and the conclusion of Asher and Grace's romance.
  3. Unraveling Him (2020): Evan Bailey's story with the cheerful Fiona Gallagher.
  4. Rushing In (2020): Gavin Bailey's story with Skylar Stanley.
  5. Chasing Her Fire (2021): Logan Bailey's story with Cara Goulding.
  6. Rewriting the Stars (2022): The series finale featuring Levi Bailey and Annika Haven, which resolves the family feud.

Tilikum Connections: Spin-offs and Standalones

The Bailey Brothers series is part of a larger interconnected universe created by Claire Kingsley. To fully appreciate the cameos and backstory, you can expand your reading list with these related series and standalones:

  • The Miles Family Series: This series precedes the Bailey Brothers. Grace Miles (heroine of the first two Bailey books) is a main character in this series, making it the perfect starting point if you want the full backstory.
  • The Haven Brothers Series: A direct spin-off series set in Tilikum that takes place six years after the events of Rewriting the Stars. It follows the Haven family, the Baileys' rivals in the historic town feud.
  • How the Grump Saved Christmas: A standalone holiday romance featuring Elias Stoneheart and Isabelle Cook. The timeline of this book overlaps directly with Rewriting the Stars.
  • Sleigh Bells and Snowstorms: Another standalone holiday romantic suspense novel set in Tilikum, featuring Jensen Lakes and Natalie Thatcher.
